Aston Villa 2 Chelsea 2 Post Match Heart Massage.

As Emery said, 'we are happy, as we have Europa League next season', now we focus on Champions League.'

We've already won the European Cup, stand a good chance of winning the Conference one so let's go for the Europa next season to complete the set.

I honestly believe 100% we controlled that first half. Early goal, sat back and contained comfortably. Then hit on the break, perfect first half plan.

Disagree slightly. The warning aigns were definitely there in the 1st half

Looking at the performance in isolation it was a poor performance.  In the wider context we are playing a lot of games at the moment and still have injuries. We were due a bad game. I'm ok with a point.

[Percy McCarthy]

Wow that was shit. Didn’t deserve to be 2-0 at half time but having got into that position we just needed to keep the fucking ball. Instead we just kept inviting pressure. Awful.

Totally disagree, first half was controlled by us. Controlled it completely. The changer was losing Martinez and not because of Olsen but the confidence he installs in the team.

See the first post on the thread. That second half was absolutely coming. I couldn’t believe we started the second half in exactly the same way.

I was going to say, I do talk some shit during the match thread. It was an off night but nobody can argue that this season has been incredible, even more so when you actually remember the injuries and the amount of games we’ve played.

If anyone, before the season started, offered us what we currently have, 4th place, 7 points clear despite having played 3 games more, and a semi final in the Conference, I would have absolutely taken it, without doubt. 

I'd have offered up my first born son. 

That deal still stands.

You’re forgetting one other thing.  Fourth placed Villa were up against 4th placed Chelsea tonight.

No wonder it was a draw.

That’s what the forum is for 🙏🏼 I agree they had all the possession but we just soaked it up.

How do you go from an Arsenal performance to this ?
Not for the first time, sitting 4th in the league and in the semi of a European cup it is hard to be Churlish , but there are some players there who are really not good enough to move on with.
We could not handle their press, totally overran us in midfield. Olsen was not that bad , lets see on Thursday.
As an aside, not sure why Gallagher gets so little credit on here, shoulders above anyone in claret and blue today.
But outside of the top 3 it is the way it is.
I am sure the management know this and have a plan for the close season.

The warning signs were there - but I don't thnk scoreline flattered us - we took are chances and managed to control it without the ball

He has so many Europa Leagues he wants something different. Plus the cup we won in 81 was given to Milan in 94 lets touch the new one.

[Astnor]

Olsen needs to be moved on. Seriously he breeds absolutely zero confidence in in the back four when he plays.

Carlos another that needs to go and cash

We got lucky today deserved nothing.

This sums it up for me with the add on that Diaby must find himself again. Pluss that we cant have that much injuries to our best 11.

Bloody hell! I bet you even moaned that it took a fake horse to defeat Troy!

I wish I could come up with lines like this🙌🏼

Load of bollocks. Martinez breeds confidence because he’s a top player. How can you expect a guy who hasn’t even reached double figures in his Villa career to be able to do the same? Totally different types of player. Ok he had some howlers beforehand but he’s looked decent enough and actually saved us tonight.

So how can it be bollocks if martinez is a top player 😂😂 you are implying olsen isnt then.

He was sorely responsible for the defeat but every time he plays we leak goals most games.look it up if you thinks bollocks
