Chelsea v Aston Villa (PL) Mon 28th Dec 2020 17:30 GMT

[Raven8er]

face it lads and lasses, we are getting nothing from this ref today

[General]

Never saw JT once rolling around on the floor outside his box while the opposition attacks then scores. So much for keeping a clean sheet for 15-20. Not Chelsea player standard period. 

[JM7]

56 minutes gone and again, we haven’t really tested the keeper. 

[PhilH930]

Honestly, I'm very concerned at just how poor out football has become.  We are a crossing team, and that is it.  We can't work thru midfield as all and vertically impact a team.

[Girish]

Not really surprised, are we? Villa are going neck and neck wth us... and we don't look like we're gonna score again. I'll take a point, thank you.

[JM7]

One thing I think about this Chelsea team is that they’re all abit too nice. They need to be abit more ruthless

Like our matches before...no ideas, no chances

[sonic90]

Chrsitensen wanted the play to be stopped and it didn't happen, tbf I've seen it kicked out for non head injuries lots of times before

[BluesPower]

We could really use a goal from Kante, but not with that shot

We are a very soft team.  No one is really willing to put a foot in.

[smileysmiles]

Awful referee.

[rtwelch]

All we can do is cross the ball. Where are the triangles? Where are the cut backs? Where are the shots from outside the box ffs?

But the moment they scored he's back on his feet and ready to play on.

Can you explain what injury he had where he was temporarily paralysed for 2 minutes?

Do you think a leg break is the only injury worthy of staying down? You ever clashed knees? Not a game ending injury but you’re not running f**king anywhere in the next minute or two afterwards.
 

It’s absurd to say because someone plays on that they weren’t hurt. The vendetta by a lot of people on this forum with Christensen is unreal. Guy breathes and some of you wet the bed over it.

Chrisetnsen can only do Ruth, not ruthless.

[Gol15]

Very bs goal from Villa. But here is the time to show some character, I'm tired of these sucker punches so I hope we can do them dirty a bit too, like someone has said we're just too nice!

[Scott Harris]

I would love somebody to actually take Grealish out properly, not seriously injure him or anything, just give him a dead leg. Give him a reason to actually scream for once.

Imagine having this poor an understanding of football and how pain and injuries work?

So you think John Terry or Kurt Zouma would be laying down due to pain.. I understand if it was an injury but there is definitely a difference between pain and Injury. Christensen has been a softie since the day he left the womb

[Munkunku]

Kante is not the player you want that falling too 

[ducavis]

2 good chances have fallen to Kante, rather it a Mount/Havertz

[dansubrosa]

Is Silva on the bench? Take Christensen off, he’s a f*cking liability 

[Malta Blue]

Back to eggs anyone?

How do you like your eggs in the morning?

[Raven8er]

This Ref is def a Villa fan

[Jezq8]

Andreas looks dodgy get silva on for him. And take jorginho off for kovacic

I have been incredibly patient with christensen and I don't buy that he's a bad player like some people claim. 

But for me, a central defender needs to get up when in pain. Not stay on the ground hoping the ref stops the game. Which is 100% what he was doing (he got hit on the shin not the knee) and it's not the first time he's done it. 

Lots of footballers do it, it's part of the game. But when you are a winger or a striker, it's acceptable. I hardly ever see a defender playing dead on the floor because it's so f**king risky. None of our other defenders would do that.
