Think Chelsea look decent (ok ok I know it was Saudi Sportswashing Machine) but they have plenty of excellent options to come in. If fat Frank accepts (as appears) that having Abraham's in as a focal point (giroud as a handy back up) just makes them work better then they have a chance.

Chilwell and Reese James are decent so it's just the whole league problem of CBs to get right. But with the midfielders and forwards they have the defence just has to be solid rather than spectacular. And let's face it Kante is still excellent. Fat Frank's inexperience might be their Achilles heel?

It's their defence that looks the weak link and Frank

Just wandering and waking
Get them tired before our game so I don’t get interrupted

Dont begrudge Brighton the 3pts if they hang on here. They have been better unlucky not to have more points this season

Agreed, knocks Villa down a peg too.. Some finish from March for Brighton's second goal.

Bottom 4 starting to fall drift

You look at Villa now, and wonder how the heck they put 7 last Liverpool, bizarre

Surprised that ref changed his mind about the pen but glad Brighton won

March got the ball first so wasn't a pen
VAR actually worked

Ex Villa Keown going mad on Comms what a helmet

Good decision. March played the ball first. Yes, he touched the leg of the villa player after, but football is a contact sport. Contact does not equal penalty.

same as in the England game for the free-kick given away for the first Belgian goal Imho
I said no free-kick then!
