Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Rogers again unable to complete a pass

[Demitri_C]

It’s just incredible that only 5 weeks ago we were top 4 in the PL, beaten Bologna in the CL to maintain our 100% record. Then came that late goal for Bournemouth and we have completely fallen apart. It’s almost impossible to explain.

That would have just covered the cracks mate. The signs were there earlier in the season where we had to have duran bail us out with wonder strikes

[Risso]

There has to be an underlying issue the momentum built up has come to a halt.

A number of issues.
1) a defence that has been poor for a year now
2) a bad summer transfer window
3) a tactically inflexible manager

[kippaxvilla2]

That was as bad as it gets from Philogene

[Monty]

Now spurs winning ffs

Don't know if we really need to be worrying about that, at this rate.

Questions have to be asked of the manager

Well I think some of the issues that existed in that run are now exposed. We’ve been rubbish defensively for a long while and our attacking quality was mitigating that. It’s not now and that’s why we’re fucked.

Finishing fourth after conceding as many goals as we did last year was remarkable.

[JUAN PABLO]

get him off for that pathetic dive

[Demitri_C]

Great dive philiogene.  You are a embarrassment mate

[Risso]

Oh dear Jaden

[Goldie.7]

Too easy

[andyh]

Every player is off it. We even miss out on 70-30 balls in our favour

That’s where we are at mo

More interested in going down for a foul than playing football

Ask away

[pauliewalnuts]

We are short on confidence.

Players and fans tbh. I certainly am - gone from always fancying us to win, including at places like this, to expecting a defeat very quickly.
