Aston Villa v Chelsea Post-Match Thread

[VillaTim]

Good comeback. Awful first half , much improved after the break. The subs changed it . A strong bench is so important . Thought Rashford was superb offers that constant threat and pulls defences all over the place .

Ascensio was brilliant I thought. Special mention to the negative posters who were proved wrong .

Very glad to be proven wrong. I said we couldn’t perform on Saturday after playing midweek. We have a great mentality of not giving up.

It's back on, team.

4 points from pl0p and chelsea is very good. That slice of due good fortune could be how our season changes.

Absolutely despise Chelsea and their supporters so I particularly enjoyed that. Not a classic and still miles off where we want to be, but lots of character in this side.

Always nice to beat these wankers.

[jwarry]

We have a team

Good result and we only played half a game.

[LeeS]

2 teams above us losing today. That’s us back in the hunt.

To hell with Chelsea

January signings were immense today.

I know we had a bit fo a blow up earlier but i hope its forgotten  now

Up the fucking villa !!!

What a win.
.buzzing!!

Huge win.

Was a tactical second half with not many chances but we stuck at it, got a bit of luck with Cole Palmer's right foot just for standing on and then waited for a moment and the Chelsea keeper chucked it in.

This win gets us back into the mix so we'll still be in contention going into April for top 5.

We've got to find a way to get Rashford and Malen in the same 11 from the start imo. I really like Malen's runs around the last defender, lead to the corner we scored from.

Get the feeling we'll see it on Tuesday as Rogers was limping heavily at the end so would give him next week off as he's been overplayed this season.

[Mellin]

I don't know if we can make the three loan boys perm, but we really, really need to be weighing that up. Two from three would be a result. I think Rashford is probably too much on his wages. Don't know what Asensio is on.

Ascensio was having a mediocre game until Rashford came on . Then he was brilliant for half hour . They all stepped up in the second half .
