Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Chelsea

[KAZZAM]

United, Newcastle, Chelsea

All seem to do well against  us. Defo a pattern there as they are all the teams outside of the top 5.

Unai needs to look at that.

We've been performing better without Luiz recently.

this is 100% true, i have said this recently.

Wasn't a good game by us by any standard, especially the 2nd half. But tbf we got 2 big injuries in the first half and needed to change the way we play. Compare this to how the Newcastle game at the start of the season went and it's a win. Might turn out to be an mportant point even thou we dropped 2.

Also:

Not controversial at all. Factual.

Tielemans was walking off. Hope that means he’s ok, we really need some luck on the injury front.

I’d expected a response from Chelsea so thought we’d get nothing tonight , so on 1 hand it’s a point gained 

but from 2-0 , it does go down as 2 points dropped , still a result away for seeing off Spurs I think 

think the players had too many eyes on Thursday today , lot of pulled out tackles , Tim seemed to be the only one prepared to put his foot in 

ollie needs that 20th goal and then I think he will relax a bit

my Chelsea mates going mad on WhatsApp, if they can’t see that nudge on Carlos as being anything but a foul then football isn’t the sport for them , I wasn’t remotely concerned when it when in as it was obviously going to be chalked off

What about the other 12 teams outside of the Top 5?

Man Utd just got incredibly lucky.

With Newcastle and Chelsea, it's the high-intensity press in the middle of the park.

[Leeroy]

VAR saved us tonight. That nudge looked very soft to me and I think the goal should have stood.

[vazquez]

So lucky to get point, still if Tielemans & Martinez would have stayed in the field I think we would have won.

Carlos what was that, from being brilliant against arsenal, total disaster today after coming in. 

3 more finals to come, lets win all of those. UTV.

This is said after every bad game they have. 

Yeah keep hearing this after each draw or loss

[Khizzy]

Why are Chelsea moaning so much? They literally have nothing left to play for. Typical behaviour from them. 

[Zero7]

We still have a soft underbelly that needs addressing

Olsen was utter gash as per 95% of his time here.

Some terrible performances tonight

Olsen

I understand you’re upset about the performance, but give him some credit. It’s very difficult for keepers to come on at half time without a proper warm up. Olsen was brave with the corners and took some good crosses. Made a great save when Diego messed up. Not even Emi was saving the second goal.

Chelsk are a good team, i'm happy with a point in the end, but obviously disappointed after going 2 up. I think the way they played demonstrated our lack of energy and pace in midfield. We can get bullied, Noocastle did it twice, as did Chelsk, as did Lplop. 

I would have took a point at the start. If Spuds , having to play Chelsk, Arse, Plop and Citeeh finish above us, then they deserve it.

Still think we will.

Positives were Rogers, Pau at the back, Emi was fine, Olsen is not as bad as some think. 

Onwards and upwards

How is that? Our defense broke down, not Olsen.

Emi is the conductor of both our defence and attack.

Without him at the back to start the attack we were paralyzed.

Olsen didn’t do much wrong and a great save to deny Palmer.

? Their 1st goal when we were playing it out from the back ?

The 2nd goal caught in no man's land ?

The disallowed goal where he was yet again out of position causing all kinds of panic ? 

His 'save' with his arm looked more like he was calling for offside than trying to save it, he was gash and spread panic in the defence, as he 95% of the time does.

This. We are different caliber team with Emi. It's not because Olsen would be making mistakes. We just are different team with and without Emi. 

Needed the shithousery, unsettle them.

This lot don’t deserve much if any flak at all… squad is depleted and many players are drained and have some degree of mental and physical fatigue… if not exhaustion…

Unai and the boys have been working wonders… there is more to come before the season is out… we held on and didn’t lose either… so much to be proud of.

Players keep getting injured… Youri and Emi today… the last thing we need. We can’t manage without Martinez… hope he’s fine and back for the next league game…

I’m desperate for Ollie to score his next league goal…

[Genie]

It was nice to get a reminder of what we’re like without our elite goalkeeper.

Terrifying.
