Ratings and Reactions: Villa 1-0 Chelsea

[villadude]

Delphs goal was absolute class, had that been scored by Shrek, RVP or any other top four club player there would be a media jizz fest with cock custard splattered all over the place.. Terry's face was priceless when that ball went in, could watch that over and over again, can't stand the p*ick.

Well done lads, a great victory, and probably the first game in I don't know how long that I was able to sit and watch without squirming and hiding behind a cushion. UTV!

Another unexpected but great result and yes I didn't go to this one either. Serves me right being a part timer. Been to about half the home games this year and have missed the 4 cracking home wins but had the pleasure of Palace, Man U, Sunderland, West Ham and Sheffield United. Going up next week so just to warn everyone it will probably be a stinker!

It wasn't "Up the Villa" from what I can tell...but he does have a very broad northern accent. Someone ask him on Twitter.

Keys & Gray? Where have those two low life surfaced?

Utah is no place for a villa.

Utah is no place for jazz either.

 

 

Nor is it the place if you want a drink 

[AVTuco]

What a game! Priceless ending. We're back.

They do a Roy Chubby Brown tribute act at my local working men's club every 2nd Saturday of the month. £2 on the door but you get a free raffle ticket.

Guzan - 7/10 - Rarely tested but looked assured when called into action

 

Bacuna - 8/10 Didnt think he would cut it at RB but he keeps proving me wrong!

Vlaar - 8/10 Solid as ever

Baker - 7/10 - Improved a lot this season, overall fine although caught out of position a couple of times

Bennet - 7/10 - considering all the stick he gets, he played really well tonight. Better than Luna IMO.

 

Westwood - 7/10 - another good game, really looking like a Prem player now

El Ahmadi - 8/10 - Most improved Villa player this year, looked lost last season but his energy is terrific

Delph - 9/10 MOTM - foot and legs like a traction engine, caused Chelsea no end of problems and a world class goal to boot

 

Weimann - 6/10 - A bit quiet tonight but did what was asked of him

Benteke - 7/10 - some lovely touches, couple of stellar efforts although perhaps could have passed instead of shooting at the end

Agbonlahor - 6/10 - See Weimann

 

Albrighton - 7/10 - best crosser of the ball for Villa IMO, came on and caused problems with his good deliveries

[Hanky]

Outstanding win. Players were superb. Manager got it spot on. That is what we can do when we play a bit of incisive football.

[El-Reacho]

Absolutely buzzing - had to flick between that and Brian O'Driscoll's swan song in Paris. Was expecting two defeats and have got two glorious victories........

Sorry Andymac12345 but those ratings are harsh

Nobody below an 8 for me today.

Delph Baker KEA Westwood All 9's

I kinda agree except for Gabby who was crap and deserved less than 5. Everytime he touched the ball he did the wrong thing.

[Rovers13]

I had to stop watching after 65 minutes. Can't believe villa won. That's awesome. I can imagine mourinho moaned

Fair enough, each to their own. It was a good team performance regardless and everyone did well.

 

Baker only a 7 because he lost his man a few times which could have cost us. Delph defo a 9 as you said. 

 

Weimann and Gabby 6s as I didnt really see them do anything but 6 is still above average assuming a 5 is average

[snowychap]

Didn't see the game - just got back in and saw the result: superb stuff!

[coda]

 

What was Delph saying into the camera at the end? It sounded like "Utah Villa" what was he actually saying?

 

Either Utah Saints or Up The Villa.  Not sure

 

 

He said "Utah Saints u u u Utah Saints."

[villa4europe]

Keys and Gray still banging on about Mourinho, but little mention of the fact we had the better chances in the game.

 

in one sentence you've perfectly explained why jose does what he does...

 

chelsea were poor, we were excellent

 

the headlines will be the ref and jose

[Daniel]

Shout out to the fan singing in L5. Was giving it his all
