“What this tells us is that Frank has such a strong team, with the players who came to the team, a strong team. But right now they’re a club in crisis because they have a low performance.
“With the nature of this season and how tight it is, some questionable effects and Chelsea is the last team to recover.
“They didn’t and now the tension is rising. I think things are a little flat right now, but I can’t point it out. “
Here’s what Frank Lampard has to say about whether he saw a response from his team:
“Yes, I did it in [the] performance.
“[We] very well, Villa had a few moments, however, [we] confronted them in the part of the moment and went through the first part with enough strength to achieve our purpose that we deserve.
“Second part awarded with our guy on the ground, it’s the kind of race we’re in in the minute, then we drove and we couldn’t break the impasse at the goal to win, but in terms of attitude, effort, some of the game was smart as opposed to a smart team. “
“I had a reaction to acting. “
Aston Villa chief Dean Smith spoke of his pride in winning a point at Stamford Bridge.
He told Amazon Prime, “It’s hard to change things, but I accept it as true with the players.

The idea of Chelsea boss Frank Lampard Aston Villa would be offering a difficult check for his team at Stamford Bridge.
He said: “They have joined their team in an obvious way in the off-season.
“They have a coach, coaches and a team with very individual players who play well.
“They’re in a smart moment right now and I’m not entirely surprised, and it’s going to be a tough game. “
Frank Lampard has congratulated former Chelsea teammate John Terry on his role in improving the shape of Aston Villa.
Prior to the fight between the two teams, Lampard said the wisdom of Villans’ assistant head coach-in-chief had benefited the Midlands.
He told Chelsea’s website: “I’m John has an influence as, in my opinion, he is one of the biggest central defenders he has played in the Premier League and for England and around the world for a long time.
“He has absolute wisdom in the game, so his contribution will be invaluable to Dean Smith and all the staff.
“His team works hard and you’ve noticed a genuine improvement in them, and I’m sure there are a lot of paintings in the scenes, thanks to John and all the staff. “
Former Chelsea forward Diego Costa has reported that Atletico Madrid will terminate his contract.
The 32-year-old has requested an advance of his contract for non-public reasons, according to Marca.
Costa’s contract runs until the summer, but is now very likely to go in the January move-in window.
This would leave Luis Suarez as the ‘No. 9’ front.
Marca reports that ‘the ball is already in the club field’ and ‘will come down and communicate with the striker’.
ESPN reporter David Cartlidge reported that the striker “out of practice with permission” while pushing for his release.
Chelsea fans, here’s a look at five of the Blues’ targets opposite to tonight’s opponents.
Aston Villa has kept a blank sheet in his last 19 Premier League away games against Chelsea (2 wins, three losses, 14 losses) since the 1-0 win in March 1998.
Can the Villans do things tonight?
Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud have been in shape lately, but which of them will be part of Frank Lampard’s initial lineup tonight?
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is about to ring tonight’s replacement for Aston Villa.
The Blues were furious after their team lost 3–1 to modest Arsenal over the weekend.
The biggest victim of the defeat is probably the 47. 5 million-pound striker, Timo Werner, after the German replaced at half-time the attack and then called through his boss after the match.
Werner has now played 10 games without scoring for the West Londoners; in his defense he was expelled by the left wing.
Here’s a look at two imaginable tactics for the Blues to line up tonight.
Earlier this month it was reported that Rennes is the top likely destination for Chelsea’s central defender Fikayo Tomori.
The measure is most likely just a loan agreement, but reports now recommend that West Ham be contemplating a permanent agreement for Tomori.
The 23-year-old has refused to move to West Ham this summer, but the lack of time to gamble, so this season may force him to rethred, with Hammers enthusiasts desperately securing an advocate in January.
Dean Smith and Aston Villa will take the M40 to south-west London with confidence before tonight’s to Stamford Bridge.
Aston Villa has kept more sheets blank than any other Premier League team this season, with 8 bleached, so the Villans are looking to record five consecutive blank leaves in the top category for the first time since September 1998 with John Gregory.
Aston Villa have also won out of their six Premier League away games this season (L1), last in a top flight singles crusade in 2009-10 (9).
Tonight’s game can happen anyway.
Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has scored in his last six Premier League appearances against Aston Villa, scoring a total of 8 goals in this race.
The Frenchman has scored more goals against the Villans than against any Premier League team.
Will Giroud be called to Frank Lampard’s lineup after being an unused replacement in the loss to Arsenal on Boxing Day?
Timo Werner outpointed Frank Lampard at halftime in Boxinf Day’s loss to Arsenal.
The warm letter of Werner’s attack shows how difficult it was for the German striker to make an effect before his replacement.
Blues enthusiasts are hopeful that Werner can regain his form tonight in front of Aston Villa, ten games since his last network discovery.
Here are some statistics from tonight’s clash with Aston Villa.
Chelsea have lost one of their last thirteen Premier League home games (W10 D2), losing 0–2 to Liverpool the previous season.
Chelsea have also lost only once in their last league match of the calendar year in the last 17 calendar years, this is their last home league defeat to Aston Villa (1-3 in 2011).
Marcos Alonso is the last at the departure gate at Stamford Bridge, with a six-month loan at Atletico Madrid.
Spanish media outlet El Chiringuito reports that Alonso will go to the Spanish capital on a six-month contract, and Les Bleus will pay 50% of his salary.
Alonso has not played for the Blues since he hooked at half-time in a 3–3 draw with West Brom in September, and his career at Stamford Bridge seemed to be coming to an end.
The report says Alonso will travel to Spain later this week to close the deal.
