Ratings & Reactions: FAC4: Chelsea v Villa

[GingerCollins29]

Two nils on the bounce. Unheard of under unai

[OutByEaster?]

It was hard work and we worked hard - a lot a better in the second half and probably a fair result.

I thought Cash was bright, Konsa excellent and Martinez imperious.

A couple of those players will be better for having a game in their legs - I think Tielemans needed it particularly. 

I'll take it. See you at Villa Park.

The Ref was very good.

What date is the replay?

Give the organisers a few hours, at least. Probably mid w/c Feb 5th.

In the hat for the 5th Round draw then, is that Wembley that I can hear calling?

[VillaJ100]

BBC - Villa take Chelsea to replay.

What champions league placed Villa take mid table Chelsea to a replay? Are they having a laugh

[bannedfromHandV]

On the plus side, we’ll be in the draw for the 5th round

[PaulC]

Not a great game but advantage villa now. 

[jackbauer24]

Bit of claret tinted glasses on by a few here! First half we were a clear second best (and that's being nice!), second half we were better but they still dominated and it was thanks to Martinez (and poor finishing after his mistake) that we're still in draw.

Diaby should have come off at half time, Lenglet was horrific and Kamara was, once again, incredibly sloppy throughout - nearly game endingly so.

Our form is shocking... But basically it's because of no Pau. We're going to really struggle in any games without him. Could be a depressing second half of the season.

Nil nil’s are like buses. Don’t see one for ages then 2 come along together

Martinez MoM. Very good performance 

Also thought the ref was decent too.

in the hat for the 5th round for the first time in a long while!!!

UTV

Good battling performance. Would have lost without Martinez, but we had our chances. They tired and we came back into it. On balance, pleased with the result. Diaby, sadly, has gone to shit.

True. Hopefully, not on ITV with Ally McCoist's inane drivel.

Woeful first half  (except first ten minutes) dominated the second half and their keeper made some good saves especially the one from cash. Would have taken a win or a defeat. Replay isn’t ideal.

One more Villa game to watch. What's not to love?

[villan95]

Rode our luck a bit in the first half but much better in the 2nd so a draw was probably fair. Not unhappy with a replay, at least we're still in it and should be better at home

It really is worrying just how long Diaby has been almost a passenger for far, far too long. Aside from that one stray pass, Kamara was once again excellent. Cash was good. We miss Torres terribly, he brings so much assurance to that defence. 

Also, I thought the ref had a really good game.

Wonderful support too. 

Emi, definitely my motm.
