Shitty looked awesome. But AVB will find a way to beat them.

Don't know about anyone else but I enjoyed listening to Carra rip Arsenal's performance to pieces

I did too but Neville's put it best, "be aggressive with them and you'll win."

And Carra was also right when he said he saw the teamsheet of Arsenal and saw their midfield of Wilshire - Ramsey - Rosicky and just thought 'weak'. Now when I look at the power we have in our midfield no matter who plays then I think we should be able to be aggressive with them when we play.

My main concern when we come up against them is Walcott who always scores against us. Everyone is going on about Rose not being good enough, well let's see how he does against Feo in a couple of weeks.

 

[tobi]

That will be his (Rose) first big test, he needs to concentrate hard in that game.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Think he might do better than benny tbh. at least 1v1. walnut has never scored a quality goal against us, its always from about 12 yards out and deflected

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Why is Chelsea V Villa not on tv tonight? It's crazy to think that you could be paying for Sky Sports and Bt Sports and neither of them are showing the only Premier League game tonight.

Super goal from Benteke, super timing, Villa look tasty at times!

 

[kaz Hirai]

Fair play to Benteke, obviously not a flash in the pan which was a concern for me and others when we were after him for massive money. Villa going to have a gareth bale type fight with some massive bids next summer if he continues like this.

Villa look good, obviously Arsenal result not all down to them being a shambles, they do have good quality on counter. Hopefully this will stop the press from wanking over Chelsea also.
They were good for 45 minutes at home to newly promoted Hull, you should hope so with the attacking players they have.

Happy with saldado, but can't help thinking the 26 million should have been offered for Benteke. Benteke has about 10 years of top level football ahead of him.

Villa's front 3 will be a threat to every club this year. Villa midfield and back 4 lack experience and quality for me to finish in top 10.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Benteke looking very sharp ... Shame we didn't get him but I love Soldado

 

[sebcole]

Goodness Villa coming close twice to leading Chelsea with Benteke showing he has great vision and decision making almost getting an assist.

 

[Shadydan]

Ramsay scored, someone's dying

Watching the Chavs/Villa game and it's breathtaking - Villa are playing incredibly well.

Fabian Delph is playing like a man possessed, Agbonlahor has improved and Benteke is looking very much like the £25m striker, hope they can hold on!

 

[Mr Pink]

A reason why I was so obsessed with getting Benteke lol.....I new the guy would go on to be an uber beast!

That being said, I'm happy we went for Soldado instead, and would still opt for Bobby right now between the two. All round a better finisher with better movement, albeit Benteke is physically very impressive and has all the power and strength you need to succeed as that type of CF in this league.

I do think Benteke will go to the very top though within a few years.

 

[nidge]

Ivanovic really should have been sent of for that. I think the ref bottled it if I am honest.

Spoke to soon lol

 

[nidge]

How fucking shitty is that? Ivanovic scores minutes after he should have been sent off.

 

[tobi]

Dude should have been sent off.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Spineless reffing... Although Chelsea aren't looking that amazing under Mourinho
