Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Fuck off Philogene, absolute waste of a shirt.  Hooked at half time please.

He can go. Im done with him. He is fucking shit

Let's all calm down. Lots of us need him to get booked first then he can do one.

I cant believe I was happy when Jaden came back as I though he looked great last season at Hull.  He has been absolutely dire all season.

He looks like he won his starting place in a raffle. Nowhere near good enough for this club

[Demitri_C]

Thwy deserve to be booed off. Losers

[manic-road]

A garbage first half, mistakes and poor play all over the pitch. Bailey and Duran on for Philogene and Watkins please.

[Risso]

Dreadful

[jon collett]

Monchi did nothing last summer other than pick up cast off from other English clubs and Juventus.

Better off swapping him for a defensive coach!

It appears we have our Villa back.

[Astnor]

The problems that s in the system and players comes to show in a game like this
- Some of the defenders not good enough on the ball to play out from the back as the system dictate
- Watkins being good but not scoring
- Cash ar RB

If Olsen coming on - as Martinez are carrying an injury it seems, then there can be the opposite of fun rest of the game
And yes putting on a player like Phil to start, a player that i suited to play five last minutes  - when we are comfortable in lead, to get experience.

This is like watching 2010s Villa, best we can hope for is keeping the score down.

[Nev]

Suicidal football. Giving the ball away at will, zero aggression Kamara aside. Slack, half arsed and appallingly careless.
And when we do get chance it looks like we can't actually be arsed to score.

Cant believe what a flop he has been. I did think he might not be ready but didnt think he would be this bad.

Replacing diaby with him was just sheer insanity

[coreyfeldman]

Lack of leadership imo, mcginn is captain yet he's been invisible for months, literally don't recall him having the ball today

[Steve67]

We have no pace, no creativity, Watkins is isolated.  Can't defend like men, don't get close enough to them to stop them from passing through us.  Really poor first half, Bailey on for Philogene at half time.  I am losing faith in Emery but mostly because he wasn't supported properly in the summer.

[villadelph]

We could do with some more talent in the squad.

[Monty]

They have absolutely no confidence, no for,. and in one or two cases not enough ability. Emery's football is very fine-tuned and high-risk, you need everything to go right, and if the players don't have the mindset to pull it off it can really collapse horribly.
