Aston Villa vs Chelsea pre match - March 4th 7.30pm

I think Bogarde deserves a start. The Onana Dougie is just not working.

I would drop buendia  go bogarde in the defensive role and have luiz a little  more forward  as thats where he is at his best.

FFS. Shoot the damn ball Villa. Just getting in some practice.

If you look at pragmatism given our injuries. The way to be pragmatic against Chelsea is to prioritise attack, Chelsea’s weakness is in central defence and goal keeper. You have to pressure them. If we don’t pose a threat they’ll comfortably beat us.

[PaulWinch again]

Any references to Alysson starting shows how much we’ve been struggling. That’s not a criticism of him, but he’s had the smallest of cameos where he’s shown a bit of promise. That’s great, but that translating to him starting a game of this importance shows it’s been really poor.

We have to think about this,we still have 30pts to play for, of course we can't lose this but a draw isn't all that bad, one things for sure we must stop this losing games now we are into the run-in, we have to cling on to 4th spot, if Liverpool win and we draw we are still ahead of them by a point, still 4th, we also deny Chelsea progressing any further.

I'm going for a win, a draw isn't a disaster and probably a good thing.
