0.0xg. Would you believe it?
Surely that unsustainable!

Malen showed why Ollie starts even when off it. Until we have a better option then it will be Ollie starting most games.

Still true.

I suspect the only thing that didn’t go to plan there was let a pathetic goal in.  I’m expecting a different second half now

Shite. We tried to do an Emery away half, but conceded. Let's hope they wake up for the second.

Disgraceful.

It’s an utter piss take that their keeper hasn’t had to touch the ball for 46.50 minutes

That's about as bad a half as I've seen from us this season.  Everything we normally do well, we're doing badly.  Chelsea have their tails up.  If something doesn't change at half-time, this could be an ugly second half.

On the plus side, I don't think it's possible for us to be any worse. So the only way is up, right?

Right?

Yep. No way is Malen a lone striker.  He needs someone ahead of him to create space.

This lot, along with Arsenal, have so many players it's very easy to loath. I'd love to take a  strimmer to that hair.

28% possession, 0 shots, 0 corners. Not our best half of the season.

Villa have picked up 15 points from losing positions.
Chelsea have dropped 10 points from winning positions.
