Manager Setup Strategyassists7.4"This game is the biggest feather in Rosenior's cap to date, and I say that as someone that's been pretty critical of him so far. Villa set up to try to crowd the midfield, but Chelsea countered that beautifully through big switches of play from Reece and Enzo in particular as well as some really good tight passing combinations from the wingers, fullbacks, and central players.

Tactical Formation Changeaction7.1"We need to abandon the Maresca 4231 for a classic 433. Our best lineup is Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucu, James, Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, JP, Estevao. Anything else is anathemic to success. Cucu and Gusto overlap which lets Palmer play more central and Steve play in the left left halfspace. Caicedo makes the runs to pick up loose balls, Enzo pings the ball around using his passing range and James locks up at the back.

How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

That’s why I say he was decent in the first half. He just needs 4 chances to convert 1, it was unfortunate he was a toenail offside. And yep pretty evident the recent form is bad, but he’s not alone.. and it goes back to the middle of the park which is the backbone

Captivating Talking Points
VAR has ruined the enjoyment of goals. Also the Ai replay of Pedro was wrong, the replay showed his foot being offside. Obviously I don’t care as it’s in our favour but fuck me i hate VAR.

That’s absolutely abysmal from Watkins, he’s looking right across the line, no reason at all to be offside
It’s honestly such a scam.
They are showing the replays on my feed. The graphic for the Watkins goal is not the same as what actually happens on the field. When the ball is kicked by rogers, the last defender is running.

Saw the lineup, expected the same old dogshit, hoped I was wrong, was pleasantly surprised to feel like a clown 5 minutes in, then I got the good old Villa gutpunch.
I can barely bother being mad at the same old player…
Believer
I know he got an assist but Bailey has left cash to die tonight. Absolutely no effort to get back. Watkins being off and Pedro being on just shows the difference in quality.
I would just like to say fuck Joao Palhinha. We could survive a month or two without McGinn or Tielemans, but losing Kamara for the year on top of that is too much. And it was so unnecessary. I hope Tottenham gets relegated.
Also, what is wrong with Pau? He surely couldn't make things worse back there.

"We’ve conceded 4 goals at home and people are still talking about Watkins."
"We’ve conceded 4 goals at home and people are still talking about Watkins."
We've been picked apart today, but in fairness we don't concede 4 goals a week.
Ollie has been terrible in front of goal for a while and not looking like it's going to change.
So the fans are frustrated with him and it's justified.
I know, this feed is pure insanity sometimes
Ollie dick riders out in force as always.
Most over protected player at the club
Before you say it, Pau would not have made a single bit of difference
↳
I’m not really obsessed with being right or wrong, so Pau hasn’t really crossed my mind.
If we don’t turn this around that will be 1 win in 9 with mings playing, our two biggest defeats coming in his starts.
↳
Mings has been, by far, our best defender today. If you want an answer to why our high line hasn’t worked, you need to look at our midfielders who have put zero pressure on Chelsea’s ball handlers. If Pau was in this lineup it would have been a bloodbath. He cannot defend - especially with a high line.
↳
We made top 4 playing a high line with Pau playing lol
What you’re saying doesn’t even make sense.
↳
The gaffer could have picked Pau but didn’t, but you know more I guess. I’m pretty sure that our best run with the high line was when mings was playing actually. In any event, my point is that any high line can be picked apart when the opponent midfielder has all the time in the world to play their passes. And Pau is so, so, slow on the turn it would have been a bloodbath
↳
Sounds like you have something against Pau tbh.
Not much point continuing this. Factually we don’t win if Mings plays, sleep on that.
↳
Imagine watching this game and thinking Mings is the problem. You’re obsessed. I don’t particularly rate Pau - his passing has deserted him and he can’t defend. Even with Mings at this level I think he’s the better option because Pau’s playing even more poorly.

@mrpowster4595 and 3 points secured. hold it
@polaropeTbf tho i don’t think he’d care, bc joao pedro is defo not the best striker in the world for a two tap in hatrick
Adamatraore says otherwise
@city169no one said that
@mrpowster45953 goals and an assist
@mrpowster4595positioning, timing of run etc you simpleton!
"No one talked about the way garnacho pushed the ball forward to keep joao Pedro onside for the fourth goal"
"No one talked about the way garnacho pushed the ball forward to keep joao Pedro onside for the fourth goal"
I saw it
Garnacho was impressive today, I'm sad he didn't get his goal
It's only few blues will tell this truth... garnacho speed is electric hi kept Pedro out of the offside trap 😅😅.. villa didn't knew it....
Magnificently Pedro is highly recommended to reduce his accuracy unless otherwise 😂 🤔 🤣 the opponents gonna 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ run 😂😂......THE LEGEND ALWAYS DO THE BEST WHEN NERCESSARY ....let's wait for PSG .. IF THEY WILL BRING THEIR LOUIS 😅😅😅
No hate but dude that's the most basic thing to do as a winger
it's just a normal thing for a winger to do mahn, nothing special with that tbh
That's a truly unselfish play ❤he knew Joao Pedro needed that hart trick
Garnacho is a player Chelsea have to keep an I on him
He should deliver more .he has not been living to expectations
yeah why we do need to talk about something so basic. this is the bare minimum
@cosmiccloud4286which very few Chelsea wingers can do
Garnacho was for me the best player on the field come on Chelsea love my blues
"The only person surprised by that result is Unai Emery "
"The only person surprised by that result is Unai Emery "
We're just too slow going both ways.
We scored unlikely goals earlier in the season because defences were not organised to prevent it, because we attacked with vigour and creativity.
Hasn't felt like a team has backed off us for about 6 weeks.
Then there's Ollies finishing. He's cost us, if I'm being harsh, a goal a game for the last four games or so.
↳
Just the last four games?
He's got a ridiculous amount of credit in the bank, and rightly so, but any other manager in the last 30 years would be considered for the sack after tonight following on from a draw with a promoted side at home and a loss to bottom of the league away.
When all us plebs can see the glaring issues with the starting XI before kick-off, and then the player central to that (Watkins) fluffs four 1v1 chances against a poor as shit goalkeeper, there's an issue with management.
He needs a result at Old Trafford or things are going to get very ugly. An empty Villa Park at 80 minutes never bodes well.
↳
Yup, I think you're right
No matter what, I think he gets a summer to rebuild and start a new phase, and it;s a crucially important one because we've got a lot of aging stars we've missed the boat on cashing in on.
That job becomes a lot harder if we don't have the CL money, and the question for me isn't whether he is sacked, because I don't think he will be, but whether he has the stomach for the rebuild.
↳
The reality is, if he’s this frustrated or out of answers with the squad he has now, and he can’t rebuild it with the financial restrictions we have … why wouldn’t he consider leaving on his own accord this summer?
I think Unai owns a chunk of blame for how the team has not performed this winter, especially the last two-three weeks. He’s boxed in by the realities of what Villa is and what it can (and can’t) do. Who’s to say he wouldn’t roll the dice with Madrid?
I don’t want this at all. But I struggle to understand why he is being so futile and stubborn with his team selection - unless he’s just at wits’ end.
↳
I'd 100% give him the rest of the season, which is more than I'd give any previous manager after the last few performances. A squad rebuild is crucial, and depending on how the rest of the season goes, I'll judge whether that rebuild should include new management.
↳
He has absolutely earned a rebuild of the squad in the summer. 2-3 bad months over the course of nearly 4 years doesn't undo the work he's put in.
Watkins, Buendia and Bailey need to go to Saudi or the MLS. Whoever will take them.
If we have to, sell Rogers and fund the rebuild. Bring in players like JAA and Alysson to get crucial minutes. Build around players like Maatsen and them.
Keep Konsa for a little longer and start finding replacements for the back line.
Emery has earned enough to get the summer to go again.
↳
You're assuming we start winning again by saying 2-3 months. I see no evidence we'll win again at any point in the next two months.
If we end the season trophyless and on less than 60 points, he has to go.
↳
I'm not assuming anything. I'm going off of what we are currently dealing with and have dealt with since last year. In my opinion, he has earned enough credit.
If you're assuming we won't win another game from now until the end of the season, then so be it. If that happens then my opinions may change. But until that actually happens I'm not buying it.
↳
Do you reckon he wants it if we're not in the CL?
I'm looking at his fury on the touchline, looking at the aging squad, looking at how poorly we seem to have planned for the future, and I'm not feeling all that confident that he wants to be here in August
