Ollie 4,400 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 What the hell, i get a shitty delivery at work so from 3 til 4 i was checking my phone for the scores, then i get home around 60 minutes and we're 2-0 up and by the looks of it we were coasting and Villa had accepted defeat. The game was fucking dead. Then for some strange reason we went from coasting to sleeping and we thoroughly deserved to get pulled back to 2-2, the attitude was shameful. I know we have a busy schedule but you still have to be professional. Credit to Villa, they always come back against us and with that team they had out i can only praise them for their efforts. Also credit to us, we woke the fuck up after the 2nd goal, went up a gear and killed it. Bit lucky because it was a corner but their first goal was a bit lucky too. Torres' finish was great to kill it, he always does well against Villa, even for us he hit the bar at the bridge against them, scored in the premier league asia cup and always scored against em for Liverpool too. He fucked the first touch up a bit i thought but what a finish! Was absolute vintage Torres. He was crap but got the goal, usually he's been very good but not got the goal. Today everyone loves him because he got the goal and what a finish it was. Very good result. I give my MOTM to Ivanovic simply because he scored 2 very crucial goals.

Madmax 9,219 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 MOTM wise .. voted for Ivanovic for the priceless goals, he was woeful for their equalizer though. Mata was the best player on the pitch for much of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Ivanovic has to go down as a Chelsea Legend, i don't know what it is in him, he just seems to have that deterimination, the kind of things you got from the likes of Lampard and such.

Strike 7,533 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 mata gets my vote.ivanovic scored two setpieces against a young aston villa team which is hardly defensively securebut mata was simply brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I suppose I voted on impact because Branislav immediately got my vote.Torres was in mind too, his 1 goal and 2 assists can't be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Ivanovic again with some crucial goals. Anyone else fancy him to score the winning goal against Barcelona perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreeluke 27 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Disappointed that we nearly gave that away and also disappointed that we conceded two but all that matters is the three points nowadays. Mata wasn't at his best but Villa failed to deal with him the whole game, they failed to pick him up and gave him too much space. Mata was essential today in linking up our attacks and we played some nice stuff at times.Torres is playing well while not playing at his best if that makes sense but it was a great finish from him, just seen on Facebook that he's got three goals and four assists in his last five games. Decent. He also plays better when Mata is playing behind him. I'll say it again, the best thing Di Matteo has done is that he's handled the squad brilliantly, something AVB completely failed with. It's good to see the likes of Kalou and Mikel play, yeah they shouldn't be starting every week but they're both decent squad players. Mikel wasn't amazing today but he did a good job I thought, Kalou played a part in the first goal and he also offers us more width.Decent three points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petr.breu 1,618 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 It would be perfect if Torres will found his form in this part of the season... He looks so much better and happy under RdM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Supporting Chelsea is never good for one's health is it? Always making life more difficult than it actually should!Pleased to get the win today and very happy to see Torres breaking his drought but not happy with the overall team performance. Went 2-0 up comfortably, got sloppy and suddenly it became 2-2. Great to see us scoring 2 more in the end but on another day, this could be easily 2 points dropped or worse!Remember 3 years ago under Hiddink? Hammered Liverpool 3-1 in the Champions League QF 1st leg and we played Bolton few days later. Strolled into a 4-0 lead, got sloppy and ended up just scrapping to a 4-3 win. Similar thing occuring again. Won 1-0 at Benfica and now this at Villa. This better serve as a warning to the team not to get sloppy. Will get punished by Benfica if we slip into complacency next Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Torres's goal was a quality finish, it's amazing how he couldn't finish the first one.The first chance was no excuse what so ever, should of been scored, great ball from David Luiz, the other 2 chances, well unfortuantely for Torres they were great defending, but you would still expect Torres to pick something out, like actually aim the ball instead of just kicking it straight there when defenders are about. But anyway still got the goal at the end and it was a good finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
