Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Stu]

I just checked, Ollie and Buendia are in the starting 11 against ManU.

They’re going to put about 8 goals past this team.

End of an era

[Proposition Joe]

This has been like the Boxing Day at Old Trafford the other year, Garnacho having the absolute freedom of the park

Nothing will change. We'll put in some huff and puff when McGinn is back, and maybe a couple of results will go our way unexpectedly when Tielemans returns and it's too late, but the league is done.

[NorthYvillan]

How have we become so bad in such a short space of time. It's the worst drop off I can ever remember in such a short space of time. Chelsea's wide players have murdered us and it's been allowed to continue for 3/4 of the game. Unai looks completely lost.

We've lost our starting midfield

[dutchvilla]

Let's give up then. Better to have three more points than not.

[pauliewalnuts]

Repeatedly unacceptable from Unai of late.

Season has become unwatchable.

[The Edge]

Newcastle 1 -0 up but down to ten men. Late Man U come back incoming just to compound the abject misery of this evening.

[JUAN PABLO]

If Ollie starts the next game Emery has lost the plot.

I thought he had with the line up

[Sexual Ealing]

This is a new low. I'm beginning to lose faith in Unai. The subs were too late and not bringing on Tammy when Watkins is just so bad is inexcusable.

A 'new low'?! You daft sod.

Why am I daft sod? This is diabolical.

Unless you're too young to have seen multiple relegations (and relegation scrapes) this is not in any sense a 'new low'. You are, therefore, either a daft sod or a daft kid.

End of an era

Got that feeling but maybe another 12/13 years out of European competition will do us good.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Has anyone brought a cabbage?

[Meanwood Villa]

Newcastle 1 -0 up but down to ten men. Late Man U come back incoming just to compound the abject misery of this evening.

It's already started

[JUAN PABLO]

manure losing too

[OzVilla]

Injuries with an inferior squad, loss of confidence and not having a functioning striker. Thats why.
