Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Bobby Boy]

Is this Emery doing his Maresca or his Almorim or his Glasner.

This selection defies belief!

[eamonn]

He knows the players best and he trusts them - we just have to go on that and hope they don't let him down.

[ROBBO]

This is Emery giving the finger. Bailey shouldn't be on the bench let alone start. If Emery wanted crowd support then he has a funny way of showing it.

I’m stunned, totally stunned. That team selection is not what I was hoping for at all.
Just hope we can stay in the game until the 75 minute changes……

[VILLA MOLE]

He knows the players best and he trusts them - we just have to go on that and hope they don't let him down.

Yes hopefully a rollicking from Friday and a vast improvement  but not hopeful

[Flamingo Lane]

That's crap. What was the point of getting rid of Malen, to bring in Abraham? Joke selections.

[Beard82]

Trust Emery - Im sure he has a plan.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" said Unai, never.

I know we can never predict Unai's team selection correctly but this one takes the packet of biscuits.

[TonyD]

Tammy should be in for Ollie.
Give Alysson a go over Bailey who should not make the squad.
Then I’d get Lindelof in the midfleid for the 1st half instead of Onana who clearly cannot run for a whole game. 

[devilla]

WTAF!!! I'm stunned.

[Woody17]

Blackadder: "It's the same plan we used last time. And the 17 times before that."

General Melchett: "Exactly! That is what is so Brilliant about it. Doing precisely what we've done 18 times before is exactly the last thing they'll expect us to do this time."

[john e]

That’s a death wish team if ever I seen one

[Legion]

Plan A does not work so let's go with Plan A.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

If Emery wanted crowd support then he has a funny way of showing it.

That was my first thought.

I think he doesn’t want Villa in the CL next season so we aren’t a threat to Real Madrid.
