Rahman Osman on Chelsea home defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League

Rahman Osman’s take on Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League

Transcript

00:00 So really it's ended here at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have lost their second

00:06 game here at the bridge. Back-to-back defeats at the bridge again for

00:11 Pochettino. Three defeats in six games, one win. West start to the campaign since

00:18 1978. That year they went down and the questions will start. There's been

00:24 mitigating circumstances though. This game against Villa was largely, largely

00:29 decided by a rash tackle from Malagos. That meant he was sent off and the

00:35 game tilted on his head. Oluwadikin's first league goal meant that

00:40 Villa have won here for the second season running. Big question. Chelsea again

00:45 played really well. I can't say they didn't play very well but where will the

00:50 goals be coming from? This has always been the question. At the back they look

00:56 quite solid when they were 11. Thiago Silva 39 and he will feel a bit aggrieved for

01:02 the goal because he lost the ball in midfield and got turned over and Chelsea

01:05 tend to play incredibly well but the problem is transitions. They don't

01:09 transition as quick as they should and the goals are just not coming. Five goals

01:16 in six games. It's not what this club is used to mostly. Questions will be asked.

01:23 Wednesday night's game against Brighton. Who won against Bournemouth will now be a

01:29 must win for Mauricio Pochettino's side. There were clearly signs that they

01:34 trained this week. The intensity was good. The determination was good from start

01:38 but in the end it's just another frustrating defeat at Stamford Bridge

01:45 for Pochettino's men and like we say always almost a billion spent on this

01:51 team. How long can he have? How long does he have before everything starts to turn

01:57 on him?
