closed Aston Villa 1-2 Chelsea

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

Lot of liabilities everywhere.

Guys, it's AV... Lampard will probably use 3 subs at half time.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,483]

The only thing I can think is he is putting in everyone who will shoot on goal from anywhere with Kante holding and Willian for possession?

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Remember guys these are not ordinary games. We have 5 subs as well

Interesting to see how this lineup works out

[ZAPHOD2319 4,483]

Newcastle is delivering!! Everything is breaking for Chelsea to get seperation.

If we drop points today, this will be all under Lampard with this lineup.

I am close to being fuming here.

Im not feeling this lineup....we will hope they come through but on paper it looks a bit strange.

And fuck me our defence needs majour overhaul

[Milan 17,854]

Bring in fresh James, Gilmour, Puli and Abraham at HT and around the 60th minute against tired Villa players. I can see that.

Could be getting everybody minutes. We do have a massive match midweek

Tbf we should probably focus on getting the three points here lol

Yeh the 5 subs means Billy and pulisic should be on at some point. Most of the squad is still building fitness remember.

I dont really care who starts concerning Giroud/Abraham. Giroud did well against liverpool

Then lets hope we are not behind when/if that happens.....its a big gamble considering everyone around us dropped pts.

Whether it ends up being Mount or RLC playing out wide, I'm never a fan of using non-natural wingers playing in those positions. Just makes them so predictable for defenders because you know they're going to want to drift inside.

Very surprising XI, must be said.

The only thinf that I am not fan of is christensen, he just get bullied to easily. Ruben starting is a big surprise, hopefully he look sharp and more importantly don't get injured again.

Giroud needs to give his absolute best, be a physical c.nt against the Villa defenders so they are tired as hell from the tackles and marking him. And then unleash fast Abraham and Pulisic.

Already winning would be great, that must be said

Not quite sure why everyone is soo mad about that line up? 

Doesn't look all that bad to me. 

Would like to have seen Billy instead of Kante but let's face it... he isn't going to leave a World Cup winning DM out for a prospect in the first game back. 

Kova and RLC in the mid. That's decent.

Yeh kova and kante is a legit combo. Probably our best for a pivot. Playing it safe for Frank is a decent option though i expect billy to come on anyway

Regarding Kante, the most important thing here is that he is played (or should be) in his natural position. Not crazily on the right flank supporting tha attacker...

Lampard back to his default mode...putting your best players on the bench...when results go down south will now be finding way to salvage a point when everything will be virtually late...
