Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

We are so so easy to play against. This’ll be 3 or 4 I suspect.

[Rigadon]

Fuck off.  With this ****** of a ref we will get murdered today.  Philogene out of his depth completely

[itbrvilla]

Checks phone after 10 minutes... Predictable...

[coreyfeldman]

We dont need to rely on the ref to give away goals and chances tbh

[Chris_Jephcott]

Unless things change, we’re in trouble here.

Pathetic start.

[kippaxvilla2]

I miss Diaby.

[Astnor]

They did break through Phil and Cash side and score early on a bit as expected.

[SamTheMouse]

It's a bit of an indictment that we're a Champions League team playing an important game away against a league rival, and we're starting a Championship-standard winner.

[Proposition Joe]

They are quicker and stronger than us. Doesn't bode well

[tomd2103]

Poor from Philogene there.  Looked offside when the ball went out wide in the build up, but it's how far they go back I guess.

[PaulWinch again]

I miss Diaby.

Fucking right - much maligned but actually made a positive contribution.

[Monty]

Tielemans HAS to make that pass though.

[coreyfeldman]

Tielemans marking palmer scares the shit out of me, he's already been caught the wrong side twice

[Chris_Jephcott]

I still reckon the loss of Diaby is part of the reason why Bailey has looked lost this season.

[Risso]

This is pathetic. Our longest winless run since the end of our first season back up under Smith.
