Villa's performance at Chelsea was (defensively at least) good right up to Chelsea's second goal. But a side like them can produce something out of the bag quite easily, and they did.
Villa, going forward, were without anywhere near enough bite, and when they did promise a bit then the Chelsea defenders employed some cynicism to stop 'em getting through. On the other hand, there was precious little that Villa threw at Chelsea of any great danger apart from the two occasions that Villa's best midfielder (Delph) flew through their ranks to blast wide. Delph, please improve your gunsight so that you at least get your shots on target!
And then Hutton burst through and probably should have passed instead of going for glory.
In short, I was disappointed. I expected Villa to at least score and even grab a draw, but against a side containing the likes of Fabregas and Costa that was probably hoping for too much.
Well, yet another big match comes up this coming week. I now feel like battening down the hatches and to wait until it's all over.
