Villa one nil up; apparently.

When you look at the money United have spent over the last few years their squad is in a shocking state. Ed Woodward might be good at the commercial side of things but he's made an almighty mess of the football side.

Chelsea equaliser after bit of pinball in area

Nor it’s not. Disallowed by VAR

ClaretLoup · Post by **ClaretLoup** » Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:58 pm

Tough one at the Emirates. We don't really want Villa to get a confidence boosting win but we need to stay ahead of our Europa League spot rivals. A draw might be the best outcome.

And now Firmino makes it 2 to Liverpool

Chelski have a goal ruled out for offside and Liverpools Kloppites go up the other end and score to make it 2-0 away at Stamford Bridge

0-2 (Firmino 30mins)

Can VAR run back an infinite number of offside 'phases' to find an offside?

from BBC live-text:

'...Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang completes the comeback with a stunning free-kick. He fires it over the wall and into the net - leaving Tom Heaton stationary...'

Was a fantastic player for us - but hope he fails big time.

Failing to hold a lead v 10 men will be a confidence blow for Villa (albeit away to a "big" team); more so than if they'd just lost narrowly to a full Arsenal XI (like we did a few weeks ago).
The pressure will be really on them next week, hope we can play positively like yesterday & take advantage of that.
They have an away League Cup game at Brighton midweek as well, I expect a lot of 1st teamers will be rested for that.

Bookies have Villa joint favourites with Newcastle for relegation now. (Oddly, IMO, Sheff U are 3rd favourites despite a fairly decent start to the season).

And we are 7th faves - wow! Every time I've looked we were in the top 3 for going down, so the bookies think we'll be fine. Which we will be if we're more consistent.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Sun Sep 22, 2019 8:15 pm

When the season started we were 2nd or 3rd favourites for the drop and stayed there despite the 3-0 opening result. We started "movin on up" lately with our last 2 results & several other clubs doing poorly.
I had a pre-season bet on Palace to go down because I thought they'd lose Zaha as well as Wab-Bissaka, not looking liks a good bet now.

Palace will be fine, I'm sure of it. Wolves SHOULD be far too good to go down, but look at Fulham - man for man they were a top 10 side, yet dropped like a hotpot (which I enjoyed), so who knows.

Wolves going down would be hilarious, but like I say - hope they go far in the Europa.
