OTF 7126 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Watched the first half of the Aston Villa vs Chelsea match. Chelsea are clearly the better more polished team. They've looked good with Anelka and Drogba up front. Aston Villa have looked dangerous on occasion with pace breaking forward. Chelsea got the first goal with what I must say was through some impressive close control from Lampard. Some tight touches manoeuvred him past two Villa defenders (who had over-committed), then he played a nicely weighted pass into the path of Anelka. Anelka's finish was top class, calmy dinking it over the keeper and into the back of the net. Villa came closest through an Ashley Young free-kick, that hit the underside of the bar with Cech completely stranded. James Milner is still the same player that he was when we had him. Can't fault his effort, gets up and down the pitch. Relishing the space he is afforded by virtue of Agbonlahor, Young and Heskey commanding the attention of the defense, but still lacking with his crosses. Still prefers to cross off his left boot, but has floated several of them into the welcoming hands of Cech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7126 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Villa couldn't break through to score in the second half. Was a pretty entertaining match, with both teams pretty eager to attack. Bolton are rolling West Ham 2 zip at the moment. This is not the best result for us. Other matches of importance are 0-0 still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Not a PL match, but I find it somewhat disconcerting that I stuck a tenner on Preston at 7/5 and they're currently 3-0 down at half time to 1 win in 15 Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7126 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Portsmouth extra time equaliser was good for us.. they were leading 1-0 then Stoke got a rubbish penalty call. Less than two minutes later they scored again and it looked like they were going to get the 3 points. Elsewhere Middlesbrough and Wigan drew 0-0. Arsenal couldn't beat Sunderland at home!

OTF 7126 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Stunning freekick from Ronaldo. Looked like the keeper saw it late, but was probably more a matter of the power that Ronaldo put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6854 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Lovely goal by Villa for Valencia. He wont be there much longer.

Villa resisted a move in the summer as well by all accounts - a bit of a Matt Le Tissier apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
