Interesting line up. 4-4-2 with Joe and Kalou on the wings, or 4-3-3 with Joe completing the midfield 3?

Great news Petr is back, but I hope he is genuinely 100%.

Usually at Stamford Bridge they are not our bogey team at all only away.

Villa have taken the game to Chelsea from the get go and we need to respond in kind.

I know that's stating the bleediing obvious but come on guys!

Seems to be par for the course at the moment. We've become very slow at getting out of the blocks in recent games, the same thing happened last Xmas as I recall. Too much festive cheer maybe.

Let's hope Ballack can be a difference maker today. 128.gif

Ballack has been sitting around for the last four months or more earning £130K a week - he had better be the difference today or I want him to pay some of the money back!

We'll scrape through we always do with a goal from either some crass error of the opposition or a great piece of skill from our team.

It's usually one or the other.

2-0, looks like a Cech error? Game over. No Drogba or Lampard, we're not playing well... and we've lost our home record.

Oh well, Villa are only our bogey team away from home after all.

Roll on January!

tough to say Tim- It was hip bruising if i'm not mistaken?

Ballack is already our motm for his 20 minutes there, and i think how attacking the side he has picked is only now reasonable that villa are down to 10- Pizarro was chasing maloney for the 2nd goal for god's sake!

Come again you guys? Ballack has been clumsy with his first few touches of the game, That pass to joe cole was the only peice of quality he produced...

And, he milked that tackle... Smart play or a blatant dive? you guys decide... We r fortunate to still be in this game...

roll on the abuse...

We've been poor. But we're back in the game and they're down to ten men so we can still nick something from this.

Lucky lucky Grant, seems he will manage to get something out of this despite a poor first half. I bet he would have been sweating at half time if he had gone into that dressing room 2 goals down.

With Villa down to ten men surely we can now turn this around and even sneak a win?

Not sure we deserve it based on the first half showing and was it reallly a red card? It gives us a lifeline and that's the main thing and if Ballack keeps playing well then who knows what we can do?

O'Neill must be fuming.

I must say that the red card was a bit harsh. I've seen incidents like that been rewarded with yellow more often than red.

But it's good for us. At 2-0 I thought it was all over, but now we have a chance at getting a point atleast.

Hate the swedish commentator though. According to him Lampard has been awful/crap/rubbish in the national team and that is the reason why people boo him. F*cking t*at.

Finally some points about our team so far.

Cech made a howler again. Two this season, what has happened to him? Still, the ball bounced and that might have caught him off guard on the 2nd goal. If not then I might be able to find some other excuse for him letting it in icon_wink.gif

Ferreira. Awful. I blame Grant.

Cole. Ever heard of one touch play? He tries again and again to go past his opponent and it's not that successful. Get the ball and cross it immediately. Grant put him up to this?

Pizarro should get up the pitch more. I was under the impression that he's a striker, not a midfielder? Is it his choice or can I blame this on Grant?

Sheva. Stay in the centre! Don't play as winger. Especially not since our other striker apparently is a midfielder. Grants fault.

Drogs out, JT out, Lamps out. Our so important centre line is gone for the first time(?) and I wonder if we can cope without them. 346.gif

Finally. Grant still look like s*it. pUKe.gif
