What's new

Aston Villa vs Chelsea (PL) Sat 22nd February 25 17:30 GMT

The risk to us is the same as City had against Real Medrid balls over the top as our defenders go high to close down the opposition.

Could be a good day for Watkins or Rashford.

Of course I'm hoping we stuff them though a draw would not be the worst result just now,

 
I’d favor a back 3 but if we are going to persist with the same formation I’d put Neto up top, Palmer RW, KDH in midfield.

I was picking what i assumed he'd pick, not necessarily what i want

 
Trying to stay positive.

Two teams absolutely desperate for a win usually produces a dour game. Fingers crossed for the 3 points.

 
Jorgensen​
Chalobah Tosin James​
Gusto Caicedo Enzo Cucurella​
Neto Palmer Sancho​

I'd like to see this if only because it would be something different ( i doubt it though)

 
Fingers crossed for this one. I just don’t see goals in the side

 
My hope is that Villa score an OG or two otherwise I'm not sure our guys will score.

 
I am going out to dinner with the fam because if I don’t I know I will watch it. This is deliberate.

 
So, Jackson is out until April. Maybe the rest of the season. We do not have a proper solo striker, and yet we shall persist with a formation that requires a solo striker. Nkunku is not the player for this formation. In fact, Mr.Felix would have been better as a no.9. Maybe even Cole Palmer? Or maybe Enzo changes the formation? (Enzo will not change).

 
Oh yeah, we play games of football sometimes don't we. If I can't find literally anything else to do, might watch the first 20 mins until we're losing 0-2.

...and we've sent Devid Washington on loan with the knowledge of our lack of striking options. Odd decision.

 
3-4-3 seems sensible, and he's actually (for once) got cover for every position on the bench,

Halle effing lujah LOL

Chelsea: Jorgensen, Gusto, James (c), Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, Neto, Nkunku

Substitutes: Sanchez, Acheampong, Samuels-Smith, Tosin, Amougou, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Sancho, Mheuka

 
Maatsen starting for Villa, so hopefully we can exploit him defensively ! They have Rashford and Bailey as options off the bench

Aston Villa: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, McGinn, Tielemans, Asensio, Ramsey, Rogers, Watkins

Substitutes: Olsen, Zych, Digne, Garcia, Bogarde, Bailey, Malen, Rashford, Jimoh-Aloba

 
Wing backs instead of inverted fullbacks???? Surely not???
