Chelsea were very unlucky against Everton. Everton should've been down to 9 men and another penalty should have been awarded to Chelsea. But still good result for us 


cuellar is back soon so hopefully he'll get a chance because he was playing quite well prior to his injury.
we were terrible and i think houllier's tactics are not working at all. i think delfouneso should start games alongside agbonlahor and carew should come off the bench to play a role. one thing ive noticed with him is that he's lazy when he starts, but he brings energy into the squad when he comes off the bench at around 70 minutes.
there's rumours that friedel will leave in january - if that's the case then we need another first team keeper - not so sure if guzan will be up to it. he played well in cup games and has been great so far with penalties.
we've had a first team out pretty much: reo-coker, cuellar, carew, heskey, albrighton, petrov, sidwell, delph, gabby (until he came back), and there's some more. i still dont think we should be losing as many points as we have - its ridiculous. we did nothing to win that match at anfield.
last time it was the other way around where villa started off pretty well and bobby (on this forum) was complaining about hodgson at liverpool and their very low league position. the tables have turned and we were so poor last night that it seemed as though hodgson had no managerial issues during his time there.
LOL, they hired pardew? hahaha. sorry hughton.
ciaran clarke plays a kind of defensive mid role at times. he's been really good bar a few unforced fouls.
