Chelsea vs Aston Villa (PL) Sun 1st December 24 13:30 GMT

[mojo]

we should have had 10 goals by now

 

[Deino]

I think the team gave up on getting a goal. It's been very tame so far

 

[evissy]

We get a lead and we go off the boil. Same story all the time. 

To be fair Villa is a top team with a great coach. I wouldn't think they would just roll over 

 

[CFCCAN]

You can sense that tide of this game is changing...need to get a third before they get one...and they will get at least one. 

 

[DarkMata]

Cole has been a shadow of himself these past few games

I’m slightly worried.

Yeah he has been, I wonder if he needs some time off. 

 

[dR3]

I’m slightly worried.

Me too, not sure if its mental or due to tactics.

Needs to be hooked!

 

[BewareoftheDrog]

Jackson = conundrum

He's an riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma…”

 

[CFCCAN]

I think he just has not had the room he had since the start of the season, always 2 players close by him these days, when he does find space he's quickly closed down.   Sitting him down for  a game or two wouldn't hurt and bring Felix in for a few games...might see it over Xmas.

 

[dR3]

Needs to be hooked!

I wouldn't. He's probably the only player who can create something out of nothing/nowhere.

 

[Kev56]

we should have had 10 goals by now

Pushing it but 5 or 6

 

[PhilH930]

That can’t be a real stat.  We’ve not conceded from a corner all season!

Why does it feel like we concede every corner!! Being a fan is an anxious job! 

 

[ducavis]

Yeah he has been, I wonder if he needs some time off. 

He is only playing 1 game a week though. 

 

[loz]

Cucurella and Caciedo head and shoulders the MOTM contenders.

 

[OriginalS]

Cucurella's done everything right today. 

 

[Deino]

Think so too. The league is adjusting to him and he doesn't get much of freedom to play his magical passes

 

[Scott]

we should have had 10 goals by now

Yet we are still up by 2 with 10 mins to go.

 

[carrickblue]

Cucurella has been superb

Maresca has him working his bo**ocks off. He could do with being given a break on the defensive duties but he's not going to get that.
