    Chelsea aren't even trying. Gulf of class of players showing out there imo. Young looks well kept by Chelsea's defence and Villa aren't creating enough with him streching. Set piece I think is needed

    you cant beat a team like chelsea with hoof ball

    thats whats really disappointing

    we're more than capable of playing really really nice football, but we've instead reverted to the old rubbish of a) give it to ash, or b) kick it as far up the field as you can

    Cowardly performance from Villa. Afraid of Chelsea.

    couldn't agree more to be honest. no effort to play football. helix kind of hit it on the head saying they're capable but just hoofing it up the pitch.

    chelsea in 2nd gear, still creating chances. they're strolling through this game.

    Chelsea should have battered Villa at the bridge earlier this year, that + the Hiddink new manager factor should equate to a reviatlised chelsea ending Villa's home record against us at last

    3-1 chelsea Drogs, anelka and Lampard.




    close ;)


    good, and much needed result for the blues, looking a little frail at the back though still and can't afford to be sloppy against juve on wednesday

    another important side note for chelsea I reckon is Drogba looking interested again.

    he's not in top gear by any stretch but he's hungry again.

    I thought Villa were unlucky in the end, nothing dropped right for them in the end. Chelsea got away with a lot of fouls, both Mikel and Alex should have been booked in the second half imo.

    Very good first half the movement of the Chelsea players was the best I've seen a in a while, and this time created chances, Villa improved but chelsea were giving the ball away far too easily.
    Anelka and Drogba caused problems, Ballack I thought was not up to scratch yet again.
