Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Just a pathetic predictable line up

It's anything but predictable unless the person making the selection hasn't seen us play in 2026 and/or is f*cking mad.

Trust Emery - Im sure he has a plan.

IUWT!!!

No idea what that means

In Unai We Trust

Like everyone else, I am shocked by the team.

I was not particularly hopeful before seeing the team. Now I am certain we will lose

I hope of course that we are we all completely wrong.

In Unai we tremor.

[Stu]

Last go for a few players maybe, put last result right at home. Plenty of credit in the bank for Unai.

All of those players have been match winners for us at some point - just need one of them to repeat it tonight

[brontebilly]

I'd have probably put Tammy and Barkley in. Other than that, there's not a great deal of choice.

Tammy for Ollie would have given the fans a lift if nothing else. I know Ollie changed the game v Chelsea earlier in the season but he's been very flat in recent games.

FML 🤦🏼‍♂️

"Yes, we start Buendia, Bailey AND Watkins"

Makes sense - I assumed it was some kind of Bladder Infection

If it’s any consolation, over on the shed end forum they all hate their lineup too, and they dont appear too confident.

So it could boil down to a battle of who’s least shit.

That team is more of a  Blackadder infection.

"Do you have a plan? A cunning plan?"

[Ian.]

I’m pretty convinced when I dipped in here for the Wolves match, most were happy with the line up. Them at the end we all moaned about the starting eleven. I could have made this up, it might be my useless memory.

So on that basis and reading the first couple pages of mentioning the hideous lineup we’re going to win 2 nil.

[Sexual Ealing]

I adore Unai, but I hate the entire concept of 'in Unai we trust'.
