Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

It would be good to introduce Rogers to the concept of passing. He plays like a precocious eleven-year-old.

I know most of you don’t agree but I don’t care

No, everything is perfect. And if you say otherwise, you are “fickle”.

So much self-pity in this post I had to wipe it off my screen.

I’m not sure this situation is the best time for your posts, dripping in smug as they are.

You're right, maybe it's time for BLIND RAGE.

So much stupidity in this post, but the same can be said for every one of your posts, so situation normal

Serious question…

I don’t want to say this, because I love him but…

How much time do we give Emery to sort this out? This next transfer window? We’re not looking anywhere near the team that we were at the start of the season… something is wrong - again.

I trust Emery to sort it out, but I suspect we’ve been found out tactically and our players seem to be mentally out of their depth.

I wished he would go back to actually looking how other teams are setup and playing to counter them. Not sure what the videos are about anymore but it seems to be "Look, see how this team played against our opponents, they were incisive and played really fast on the counters, and were especially weak against wingers", so taking that on board, we should play it backwards as much as possible, and slow it right down when we are on transition. Like last week, and the week before, and the week before.

Something has been 'off' all season. maybe some of the in the know here are aware what it is but something hasn't been right.

[Chip Butty 111]

We have been poor for ages, no surprises today. Our defense is a liability and has been for months, we are laughably bad at playing out from the back and we persist with it. We are in trouble

I'm with you John.

Tielemans' passing today

He also can't run, he looks fucked for some reason- his lack of physicality when he's out of form is really something to see

[SoccerHQ]

Terrible half but I don't think anyone should be too surprised given how the last month has gone.

Top 4 isn't realistic at all currently, Chelsea are far better than us and picking up results in other games they need to make it, we're not.

7th looks a push at this rate so we badly need to win the two home games we have coming up otherwise there will be massive issues starting to form.
