I was there last night and all that can be said is we were totally outclassed. That aside, when we were 3 down Chelsea were like a shark smelling blood they simply kept coming at us. It could have been 6, shevchenko has a shot out of nowhere which sorensen did very well to deal with. Its not that we were bad or showed lack of effort i just think we were chasing shadows for the last 20. Agbonlahor played well until the supply of ball stopped, he looked dangerous everytime he got the ball on a run. Bouma looks dreadfully slow, Ridgewell did better marking Shev than Laursen did in the first half. Baros didn't see the ball so the negative comments towards him are a bit harsh. Berger tried bloody hard to pass and move and against other teams this year if he gets game time he will help out with Petrov.
All in all are we really that suprised? Great support from the Villa fans noisy all night still singing when we were down and out, true class!!!
