Ratings & Reactions: Chelsea v Villa

[The_Steve]

Cry more Chelsea fans. Christensen fould Jack and advantage was given. They aren't going to review something that happened in a different passage of play.

 

[TheStagMan]

This is what we have not done in the past, picking up points from teams around us.

[Sulberto21]

Well done Le Saux respect.

[WakefieldVillan]

Thoroughly deserved point and we won't earn a better one this season! So proud of these lads.

They were able to make 6 changes and still field a real class outfit whereas all ours played 48 hours ago and to work as hard as we did and match them, particularly McGinn who was colossal tonight, was absolutely superb. Not to mention without Mings either just adds to a fantastic result.

I will add that Jim Beglin (co-commentator) is a complete word removed.

Love this club

A good point, very pleasing that we are competing against Chelski away. Konsa was incredible today!

[AV82]

Post-game commentary very complimentary of Villa which is great to see. Much better than those clowns commentating during the game.

‘Mind the windows, Timo’

Think I missed this meme. Someone said it after the Palace game. 
 

Sorry to be a dullard, but could someone explain?

Like I said in the match thread. It's irrelevant. Fresh legs. Ramsey, Elmo, Nakamba, Hourihane, Davis. Take your pick. 

I mean he made the changes, but a tad sooner, and we might have had a little bit less nervous ending. 

I see your angle, but I, and I suspect a lot of other people, will think you’re wrong.

Nakamba and Hourihane would have added nothing to our performance and Cash was superb so not sure who you’re bringing Elmo off for.

There are literally no negatives for me tonight. I’m as delighted with that point as I am with any of the three we have gained this season. 

We are a very good side. We have a superb manager and we’re going places. 

Trust the process. UTV.

[Sulberto21]

Re our goal. We're gonna get a lot of those against the scummy mancs. We need to play on that.

Absolutely fine to disagree mate. Cash was superb. I'd have swapped Elmo for Traore at roughly 60'. Smith is in my view naive, usually waiting until 80 or so before doing anything. I fear it will cost us at some point. Maybe I'm just still nervous from all the shit years, and the many late crumblings in the past.

Taking Giroud off was a horrendous mistake from Lampard.

So dangerous in the box. Werner looked totally shot of confidence when coming on

What did you think of the Villa performance tonight? 

[Kiwivillan]

I thought ref was very good. Cash left someone in a heap with a great tackle and ran away with the ball and Chelsea players were crying for a foul and ref waved play on

Mings was only missed for his distribution from the back. Otherwise, Konsa and Hause were fine defensively.

Traore switched on more second half and did his job of defending, fair play to him. El Ghazi got his customary goal. 

Our full backs were solid - again. 

Martinez was solid as usual. 

Luiz and McGinn hot through some work with McGinn the more combatant and unlucky not to score - MOTM. 

Watkins had his usual busy game but had no sight of goal. 

Grealish had a quiet one by his standards but was still a threat when in the final third. 

Hause had a couple of bad passes out the back but all in all he performed well defensively. 

I'm ready for Grealish to move out left again. I want him closer to the goal. He creates for others but honestly our attackers aren't good to finish most of the chances he creates. Then when he does get a run on goal he has already sprinted 40 yards and he is spent before the shot.

I don't have Prime so didn't watch the game, but the commentators were being slaughtered on twitter too. Were they/he just biased against us or about as ill-informed as Charlie Adam?
