Our better half is coming up.
Very similar to the game at their place last season where we were equally horrific.
Chelsea have just been quicker, stronger and more committed. We have been way too casual in possession and lethargic in tracking runners. Going in at only 1-0 is quite the achievement with how poor its been. Multiple rockets needed from Emery
They’ve done this with Kerry Dixon on the bench.
At least it’s only 1 nil. Need some more physicality we’re being bullied and overran in midfield
Our usual Blose first half away from home. Here's to it being an exercise in containment and PWS to declare another "Never in doubt" at full-time.
Still the ref is giving them a helping hand.
We’ve definitely had 1 shot that last free kick
Playing like a team who dont think they belong in the title race or even top 4 conversation.

We've been shit but other than the freak goal from the corner they've not created much, I reckon Emery would've been ok with how it was going otherwise.
Midfield two haven't shown up. Not really sure why Emery moved Rogers off the left wing, Malen and him on different planets. Two full backs have done well, centre backs individually doing ok.
Big changes required at half time.
It's not the reason we are losing but the reffing is abysmal - letting them away with so many fouls. Cucurella is the biggest cheating twat I've seen in a while.

We’ve never been in the title race. Not a chance. It’s media bollocks
Not sure why the forwards are getting grief, the ball has been entirely in our half and the only out ball has been a hopeful punt. Totally outplayed in midfield, Kamara and Tielemans not at the races. Looks like we have lost 10 on the trot.
Watkins need to come on for Malen. I would also like Bogarde for Cash. Then Onana for Buendia to try stabilisize some midfield control. . What bad defending for their goal but cant say they have an undeserved lead. Another Villa second half please.
