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

That for me was a brilliant performance.
We brushed aside a Villa side who are no mugs, we just made them look it !!
We pressed well, went forward well, and barring one or two moments defended well to, Caceido is the next Essien for us, just awesome in the heart of that midfield.
Unlike some on here i think the Fofana injury is a blow to us, he may not be the most powerful defender but he is lightning quick and reads the game well.
Only slight downer is once again Martinez, we can't win the league with him as keeper (i don't think) other than that we are looking like a proper team that no one will want to play.
PS. i think a few of us on here need to eat some humble pie, i was on Jacksons back all last season after the penalty fiasco, but he has proved me wrong along with quite a few others, who have been very negative .
Maresca has turned us into a team in a very short time, i doff my cap sir.

To answer your last question, I’ve no idea who is or would be available.

But honestly, unless I’m missing something Jackson is not currently world class.

Football is all about views and opinions, mine is clearly different to yours, although ultimately we both want the same thing…someone who scores for us.

I understand but Jackson doesn’t get nearly enough credit the guys 23 his second season in the PL, he’s scored 8 out of 13 games with 3 assists, he’s on for 23 goals if he keeps this pace. 
 

How many top class striker class flops have we brought in, he’s one of the best strikers in the PL and he’s got bags of room to grow, I’ve always seen something in him and I think we should back him not over look him.

Yep, if there was any area where we really lack talent in depth it is at CB.  I like Wes and Levil.  Very Quick ball playing CBs.   Other than that we have a very basic Tosin - but he was free and so we're okay with that AND then we have the very expensive and just not quite good enough French duo - Disasi and Baddy.  IF Reece was fit, then maybe he could cover at CB?  Could Lavia play there? Could we call the Argentinian wonder kid CB on loan early?

I think in the summer we should try to get Martinez from Villa. As a Sanchez replacement. Or Oblak.

I loved all the celebrations. Even wacko manhandling Enzo...hahaha

I remember another Cole goal in a different game and Cole saying afterwards he ran towards the bench but when he saw them all coming towards him he ran the other way.

This time noni caught upto him and cradled him in the end like a baby. 🤣 

Love it.

Did anyone else think, when we had that indirect free kick, "oh I really would have loved to see Alex take this".

I may need to eat some humble pie on Enzo Fernandez if he keeps playing the way he has last few games ;).

Martinez is Villa's keeper. Ours is Sanchez. You sure you're supporting the right team? 🤣

 
The trouble with Alex taking that kick, would be the 10 minute delay to the game, whilst the defender is revived and carried off.

Just 1 defender? More likely the defender the ball hits takes a few more with him, along with the ball, in to the net.

Far more sensible if they see Alex coming in that situation to just step aside.

Muppet Rory Jennings has a video claiming Arsenal are back yet nothing on today’s victory. Because that would imply the sporting directors were right about Maresca and their signings.

Still no video on our win by the way. 

Oh, but he has a Liverpool beating City video. 😂
