ZLF 334 Posted December 26, 2012 Same team bar Holt in for morisonTime for a much improved performance :-) coyy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted December 26, 2012 Sadly for Morison, didn''t do enough and deserved to be dropped. Glad to hear Holt is fit though, hopefully he can score against the big boys again today!As for Chelsea, Lampard dropped for Mikel, and Hazard on the bench with Oscar starting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bws Cat 0 Posted December 26, 2012 I hate to say it, but I have a feeling this game is just damage control today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 315 Posted December 26, 2012 To be fair, villa never really got at chelski. They played a back 3 whick was bonkers as chelski had easy play down the flanks, and then when the wider cb''s moved out to cover, chelski had even easier play down the middle - a tactical Fak up from PL there, but those front 3 behind the striker are hard to defend against.I feel if we can get at them, and keep them quiet we might stand a chance. Tettey and BJ need to be on top game today to disrupt the amazing attacking 3 of chelski. It will mean a hell of a lot of running, some hard pressing from the captain back, and probably a few yellow cards!! and maybe, just maybe we can cause another upset.On the ball City!!!

ZLF 334 Posted December 26, 2012 Chelsea showing their quality and deservedly ahead. Weare looking a bit toothless todayOnly Snodgrass looking threatening. but we can still get something out of this, but will probably needed a set piece. Coyy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 334 Posted December 26, 2012 Midfield 4 really stepped up second half, although strikers are poor, very encouraging overall with midfield and defence good against their quality:-) Last gasp city goal please:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 334 Posted December 26, 2012 Much better performance and attitude and aptitude really good today. Could have sneaked a point but good platform for the weekend. Cutting edge missing though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VegasCanary 0 Posted December 26, 2012 I am frustrated in how late Hughton decides to make changes. Deserved a point I think but I''m not worried as we''re still 10 points off relegation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man Who Stares At Goats 0 Posted December 26, 2012 Bad result, but a good game. We showed how much we''ve improved since we last played Chelsea. Looking forward to the 2nd half of the season.Merry Christmas ...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

technika 0 Posted December 26, 2012 not at all. its completely pointless. someone needs to tell hughton hes allowed to make substitutions at any time not just the 78 minutes onwardsi thought it was a reasonable performance against a very good team but he might as well have changed things waaaaaaaaaaay earlier in the match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John 0 Posted December 26, 2012 Tettey are Johnson seem to be regressing a bit. Really feel its time we involved Fox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted December 26, 2012 Totally agree Goats, shows how far we''ve come since the last time we played them!However, totally agree with the posts about Hughton and substitutions. Bringing on Bennett with 3 minutes to go is pointless, stupid and harsh on Bennett because he doesn''t even get a chance to have a go. Especially after looking like grabbing an equaliser towards the end of the second half, gotta start making changes earlier to capitalise on the pressure we were building!
