closed Aston Villa 1-2 Chelsea

[communicate 2,703]

Pulisic and Barkley came on to give morr offensive punch. That certainly help because ruben is clearly not ready to play, Barkley also offer more offensive threat than kovacic. 

The biggest problem once we got the lead and we need to protect it we don't have any more midfielder who can defend.

Tbat was interesting..lets not have moments like that against City

better pray to God we don't, otherwise we will be murdered

Winning ugly is hard - but we have done it.

As @Jason said it's only our second victory from a losing position.

Villa had the benefit of a game prior and it showed.

We cannot play like that against City and I fully don't expect us to. 

You could see how rusty we were.

I don't fancy MU or Wolves to overtake us.

man, what a difference Pulisic makes for us, he's the only creative spark we have atm. Willian is done

Willain loves them corners huh, he loves to destroy them, but his workrate was good today

[LAM09 6,547]

Capitalised on those around us dropping points. 5 points clear of fifth place

It is not really assumption. Watching him play it make sense for him to play from the wing unless you are trying to make Werner look bad. 

Perhaps I am just being too fancy here but given Werner's versatility and others', we can try playing him upfront and create a fluid front 3/4. Werner starts as ST, drifts to the left > Pulisic from the LW, drifts into the space vacated or the No.10 charges into the space vacated by Werner and Pulisic drifts to the No.10 area etc. Am sure Lampard would experiment and/or play him there once in a while, going by his comments on Friday.

I would start Pedro against Shitty, its his last league game for us

Pulisic Tammy  Pedro

Mount Kante Gilmour

Alonso Zouma  Rudiger  Azpi

Kepa

It was a mocking post from a previous thread.

I know Azpi is on the decline. It's been a slow process for the past few seasons - but I still like him.

And he did get 2 assists 👍👍👍

Celebrate all you can for the next 2-3 days because it'll be down to 2 again after Thursday.

No one could have nor should have expected an easy and nice performance after the restart, especially with Villa having already played on Wednesday. Many individual errors (Reece, wtf was that? Rudiger with brainfarts, Christensen just typical clown) and thank fuck we overturned the deficit. Let's maintain the tiny little gap now!

I actually thought the performance was pretty good considering, that what makes the initial selection even more frustrating.

Say what you want but Pulisic always. Creates some kind of danger. now dont fuck up again defensively

I wasn't convinced before he arrived but he won me over. For me he is first choice, even if Havertz is added to the squad.

[cosmicway 1,252]

Why do we have an anti-Willian club ?
As if we had any better players after the Didier-Lamps years, bar Eden.
