[limpid]

Your ratings and reactions please. Keep it respectful even if you know everyone else is wrong.

A mod will add the players to the MoTM poll later.

[Rodders]

should have gone to penalties.

No injuries this time though I guess

[stewiek2]

A fair result. Chelsea better first half. Us second half. Emi Martinez is unsellable.

[LondonLax]

Let’s do these at Villa Park

[Farlz]

Well that was a bit rubbish. 

[blunther]

Only caught the last half hour - by the looks of the match thread I got the best of it. Thought we looked good fwiw, don't welcome the replay though. 

[HongKongVillan]

These nil nil is like London buses. 

[switters]

Decent performance. Happy to still be in the competition, chance to progress at home. Martinez, Konsa, Kamara all top class.

Emery suddenly a 0-0 specialist 

[jim]

Pretty poor for the majority, left it too late to decide to start playing. 
Hopefully we do better in the replay.

[Paddywhack]

Pretty much what I was expecting. 

[Dodgyknees]

Our recent form is concerning 

[ferguson1]

We’re still in the cup

Martinez MOTM

Still unbeaten in 2024

Given the first ill take that 

Good to see that we never really settled for a draw or gave up, another game where we couldn't get Ollie involved and diaby looked lost

Subs should have come earlier, zaniolo looked worth another 20 mins 

It was a handball

[Talldarkandransome]

Much better in 2nd half, really didn't want a replay though 

[duke313]

Still in the cup

[Steero113]

Second half was the best we've been for a while. Encouragement there. 

Zaniolo looked good when he came on tbf. 

[ender4]

What date is the replay?

[romavillan]

We'll do them at villa park, good run out and should hit the ground running when the league games start. Could have nicked it second half.

[HalfTimePost]

Fair result. Can’t understand why we saw so few changes and so late too

I dunno, in the context of our recent Fa Cup history I think we kind of have to take that as an ok result 

Chelsea aren't as bad as people make out, fortunately they're still not great either
