Ratings & Reactions: Chelsea v Villa

[Loxstock92]

Good point that. Important that we battled back into that after going behind. Fair result IMO.

[Enda]

We are a good side, aren't we?

[PaulC]

Draw was a fair result. MGinn was fantastic. Great point!

[jim]

Great point.

SJM the energizer bunny.

[osmark86]

great display! very evenly matched throughout the game. we did allow them a little more space and press than comfortable near the end, but we were getting tired. very good result!

[villa4europe]

Years before we lose that game 

By a lot 

Today despite the stats we were in it until the end, great play all round but brilliant defending as a team 

[holteend1982]

Will take a point at Chelsea all day after previous results there. We matched them though which is extremely impressive considering they made 7 changes and got to bring on 100 million pounds worth of attacking players from their bench!

The opposite of the Burnley draw - a great result.

I'll **** take that. Good effort from the boys.

Please for the love of God some signings in January.

[Daweii]

I'll take this result any day. These are the results that decide top half finishes. We can win all we want against the shit teams, but if we get hammered by the good teams then it doesn't matter. A draw here is huge and it's great progress for the club.  

[AVFCforever1991]

Mcginn was outstanding

[Giro]

Great point, god we’ve come on such a long way

[MaVilla]

if you had offered me a point before the game i would have taken it, Chelsea are a very good side.

Did well to break our duck of not picking up any points after going behind.

Also, lets not forget half their team was completely fresh after being subbed in from their last game....

I'll take that, given the fatigue 1-1 is a fabulous result and we could've nicked it.

Spot on. We looked knackered but refused to lose. Absolutely fantastic result.

 

[HKP90]

Good game, fair result from players who look like they will spend tomorrow on oxygen therapy.

0/10 for commentators. Absolutely awful.

[LondonLax]

Entertaining game. Either side could have won that but a draw is fair. 

A good result at Stamford Bridge, especially in the middle of a fixture pile up.

[gilbertoAVFC]

Another excellent performance considering they have so many options to rotate and, let's be honest, we don't. A really monumental effort from the boys again.

To a man, sublime.

Konsa/McGinn should share MOTM.

[Sulberto21]

A half fit Villa probably could have won. Imagine what we would have done to them fully fit.

[PieFacE]

Andy Townsend talking about us 'surviving in the premier league'. wtf lol.

[sidcow]

Point away at Chelsea is a good result in ANYONE'S book. 

Keep's the run going and a point already from our difficult run. 

[Nigel]

A point away at at team who have spent a gazillion quid....Ill take that!

What a game by Meatball....if only that shot had been 2 inchs lower for the cherry on the cake.

The biggest positive is the battling quality we showed, especially when we went a goal down.
