Anyone who mentions John Terry’s slip in CL final is off my Christmas Card list straight away. One of the best though is slipping on the standing foot and blasting it into orbit.

Possibly, don't how fast the ball was travelling. Not a great game for goalies. De Gea is very inconsistent at the moment.

When Greenwood hits it, it does seem to move rather rapidly... some talent is that boy

Isn't there a rumour he might be replaced?

No fan of Kepa, but Christensen is looking far too easy to get past nowadays. His positioning often looks wrong. Bring in John Terry as defence coach? Though as good as him and Lampard together could be, it could also lead to a conflict of egos?

Sounds good on paper but I think there's only room for one legend (at a time) on the coaching staff.

Genuine question -- are there any signs that he has made the Villa defence better?

Yes, two massive egos don’t go togetherSounds good on paper but I think there's only room for one legend (at a time) on the coaching staff.

I imagine some of the playing staff are losing sleep worrying about their other halves with him there ?

I haven’t been watching Villa close enough or long enough to make a judgement on that. Perhaps a Villa fan can give us their opinion.
However, as far as Chelsea go, JT based much of his defensive success on very simple stuff like just knowing where to stand...just being in the right place. When I look at any combination of centre backs at Chelsea, they just don’t look right together and one or other is prone to stepping out when they should be holdIng a line.
Not only did JT know where to draw the line, he would shout instructions to others who weren’t in the same line or were just in the wrong place. It doesn’t seem like the Chelsea defence have got each other’s back, there’s no big voice behind you saying ‘GO’ or ‘STAY’, instead you have to have take a quick a glance around you and in that nano second the little f*ucker has just nutmegged you. Again.
PS. I agree with @webster that John Terry back at Chelsea would be a bad move, but we really need a real talker at the back.
Chelsea played well, though I was hoping CP could muster a third (self-interest and all that
).

It's great to see Chelsea are now third in The Premier League. I'll temporarily support Sheffield Utd and Wolves tonight if they do the decent thing and draw 0 - 0.
Hopefully John Terry will hit another career high tomorrow and coach Aston Villa into beating Utd. He apparently might move on to take charge of Bristol City.

On balance I think it would be better if Wolves lost.
Realistically that would leave Chelsea, United & Leicester fighting it out for 3rd & 4th spots.
Of course if City haven't managed to bribe themselves out of being banned all three sides will qualify for the CL next season.

It was a really hard game for Chelsea against Palace. Part of me thinks they should try and buy Zaha, but a back four and a goalkeeper who doesn't dick around come first.
The game went down to wire despite Chelsea being 0 - 2 up at one point. Kurt Zouma saved the Blues from a draw with a last minute tackle on Benteke. He took us above Leicester and into third place in the PL.
