Aston Villa v Chelsea Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithe]

Aye, Maatsen needs some serious 1-1 coaching on stopping crosses coming in.

One thing I noticed yesterday was Rogers body language…i have a feeling he thinks he’s having his nose pushed out by the new boys…maybe it will give him the kick up the arse that Bailey seems to have had…

A kick up the arse? What are you on about? He scored a hatrick the Champions League and got the winner against Spurs in the Cup. Maybe he's just had a couple of quiet games since then, it happens.

I would imagine if Rogers was having his nose pushed out, he would have started on the bench yesterday and had a well earned rest.
Emery loves and rates him and he is an essential part of the team.
He only came off yesterday because that dirty bastard cynically clattered him and he was clearly struggling afterwards.

I saw no issues with his body language, just maybe someone who needs a weeks rest.

Just watched motd. I'm baffled as to why we didn't get a penalty when Sideshow Bob pulled Bogarde back denying him a certain goal. Wtf is var even there for if they don't think that's a penalty? Then I watched Everton v Man U and the var eejits overturned a penalty decision for a clear pull on Ashley Youngs shirt. Young did dive theatrically but when they sent the ref to the screen they decided not to show the angle that clearly shows the pull on his shirt. I fucking despise VAR.

And there definitely is no bias towards certain "media loved" clubs. Nosiree

I’ve been saying for weeks it not corruption and its incompetence, however after the Everton and our penalty incidents, it’s hard to say it isn’t some kind of biased or corrupt view.

Yeah I can't stand the conspiracy theorist types you get all over the Internet but the clowns at var are really making me think something is not right.

This.

He's 21 years old and in his "difficult 2nd season".  6 goals and 4 assists in the league. Doing ok though, huh?

[AV84]

He also seemed really excited by the new signings after the Spurs game, and the idea of having new players of that calibre to learn from. Plus they're only on loan, for now. If his nose was out of joint two weeks later, I'd be worried about his mentality and commitment.

[AGRIPPA]

I’ll shut up….not the best terminology…🤣…I just meant he should rise to the challenge. I get all the rest of it young/ tired etc but most of them will be. It may just be his posture but I thought he looked a bit pissed off yesterday and deffo had words with Ollie when he shot ( best option imo) rather tah. Pass to him in the first half…

Matt Donoghue was on VAR at Everton yesterday the same clown that disallowed our goal  against wolves.  He also refereed a match in the championship recently and he gave a Man United level of incompetent performance.  He’s utterly shit or corrupt or both.  Oh and he’s from ‘Greater Manchester.’

[rob_bridge]

Just catching up on the Man U fans thoughts after the day's matches. This was in a thread about our second goal, primarily focused on Rashford.

No disrespect but the fact we have "allowed" Aston Villa to surpass us squad wise is a joke. More so considering they only got promoted back to the PL a few seasons ago is a joke and shows how far we have fallen.

Villa have more ambition and higher standards than we do.

Absolute insanity the level of quality depth they have in attack while clubs like us and Arsenal just sat on our asses in January.

We did strengthen in attack despite losing one of the most promising strikers about. We still lack fit bodies in midfield and whatever defensive combo seems to have frailties although Garcia in and Cash regaining fitness looks a big plus.

Was it "Enzo" who injured Rogers? God, I despise the little fvcker. Good player but he's a snide.

[rob_bridge]

We were watching their game yesterday and the camera seemed to pan onto Fergie in the stand every five minutes. It was ridiculous.

It’s great he’s still hanging around, must be an unsettling presence for whichever joker currently manages them.

Don Revie affect. When he popped his clogs Leeds got promoted and won the league.

I thought that was Nkunku. If it had been Fernandez he'd have had a 2nd yellow.

It looked far too easy from my position in the Holte, but having watched the highlights, his defending was so passive for that first goal.

He's being moved out of his best position so it's to be expected. He must be suffering from fatigue too to be fair. Would leave him on bench v Palace.

I'm not sure about him playing on the right to be honest.  Asensio is playing the role he was playing before which has meant him moving out there and he doesn't look comfortable.

Ours was a penalty but wasnt given so not likely to be changed even though the Hair Bear Bunch was blatantly fouling.

Young's was definite penalty so I have no idea why it was overturned.
