We can say that Chelsea became a cup team this year, they got good results in the cup matches and that is the aim. While Aston Villa had a fantastic week behind them, they were dealt a crushing defeat by Chelsea in the cup match.
I agree, and i think they are concentrating more on the cup games, now that they know the only thing they are challenging for in the EPL is to finish in the top half of the table, they cannot even qualify for Europe next season. Thus it would be good for Pochettino if he can win one of the domestic cups. Chelsea are already in the final of the Carabao cup and they are now into the fifth round in the FA Cup, there is still a long way to go in the FA Cup and as for the Carabao cup, they face off against a very tough opponent in Liverpool in the final, we'd see how things pan out for them.

City, Liverpool, Aston Villa winning on my XFUN parlay this weekend
Chelsea winning Aston Villa 3-0 is a cleae indication that all Pochettino cares about this season are cup competitions. I think it's because he knows that there's no way Chelsea can come back to fight for even a champions league place this season so better to take his team's energy on cup competitions. I'm really surprised to see Aston Villa come from a very good weekend only to lose to a Chelsea team that lost at home over the weekend.
Despite the fact that there's still time in the game, I don't believe Aston Villa would be able to do a comeback here.
Only pained that I didn't take a Chelsea win or double chance bet on BcGame. It was above 3 odds+ during the pre-match.

I keep thinking whether these are the same players that lost their home game against Wolves, but Aston Villa won't make a comeback in this game since Chelsea is now leading with three goals. You are correct; Pochettino's target for this season is to win the cup competition; they are not concerned with how to finish in the top four this season in order to qualify for the next Champions League. The game is almost over, and Aston Villa are able to score just one goal. How come Chelsea players aren't performing this well in the Premier League? Despite having players that can compete with any team in the Premier League, Chelsea is still losing when playing home or away. Before the season ends, Pochettino's team needs to start winning Premier League games.
If you put both of them side by side, you will see that they are both almost in the same category in terms of the recent performance of both clubs.
I also think so Pochettino's as no hope in competing for the top four zone which is champion league as well as Europa League because the way he performed some time look like they don't have any interest in Premier league but in other cup compositions. Chelsea played very well against Aston villa but I will assume Aston villa too don't focus on this cup compositions, I think the main aim of Unai Emery this season is just to make it to the Champions league maybe that will be the reason for their lose.
We think on the contrary, Chelsea is only focused on this competition because only here they have a chance of getting a trophy whereas in the Premier League they don't have any chance, we will see that Chelsea will continue to fight to get at least one trophy this season. Currently Chelsea is playing 2 tournaments, do you believe that Chelsea will win one of them? while, for the Premier League Chelsea could only finish in 8-10th position I'm not sure they can get into the top 5 or even a conference league is also impossible.
Chelsea continues to lead the match with 3 goals with a good game. Aston Villa was seen as the favorite by many before the match because it was playing at home, but Chelsea showed us the importance they attach to the cup in a different aspect of the game. Apparently, they want to focus on the cup since it will be difficult for them to be at the top of the league from now on, and I think this is a somewhat logical thought.
Chelsea knew that they still had a chance to win in this match so they took advantage of all the opportunities they had and it was very successful they did.
3 goals were scored against Aston Villa even though in terms of actual performance they were not much different but seeing from Chelsea's play in this match we should appreciate some players.
Jackson played a little differently because he didn't hesitate to pick up the ball in this match, on the other hand I also quite like Petrovic's performance in this match because some of his saves were quite good.

Yep. Chelsea won the match, they scored 3 goals. It is quite surprising Chelsea could beat Aston Villa because Aston Villa is better than Chelsea in EPL standings. With this win, Chelsea can go to the next round of FA Cup this season. I don't know if Chelsea will play against Man United or Leeds United for the next round. I hope they will play against Leeds United because the chance to win must be higher.
The Chelsea's victory against Aston Villa 3 - 1 becomes a hot topic at the moment. For, we know how their both performance and achievement in the Premier League. Most people might think that Aston Villa would win, so did I. but in fact, Chelsea really gave unexpected result here, moreover in this match, they also could show little bit thing like Chelsea at the past. Whatever the performance, Chelsea won this match and continue to the next round.Anyway, Chelsea will play against Leeds United while Nottm Forest vs Man United..
But, we still don't know whether Chelsea is able to do it until final or not because there are still several top clubs being there that are competing. And after this round, the match will be tougher and tighter of course.
We can say that Chelsea became a cup team this year, they got good results in the cup matches and that is the aim. While Aston Villa had a fantastic week behind them, they were dealt a crushing defeat by Chelsea in the cup match.
Chelsea has been having administrative problems for a long time, even since Abramovich left the club, the only problem is the administrative problem, I think they will continue to have these problems for a long time this season maybe next season, so I don't always trust that team, but they did well in the cup matches.

You mean Chelsea has financial problems? I'm not sure about that because Chelsea already has a new owner and they have sufficient funds, in fact they have achieved records in the transfer window in the last 2 seasons as the team that spends the most money with an average spend of 600 million per season just to bring in new players. In my opinion, Chelsea are inconsistent, somehow they don't apply the same style in every match, sometimes they play well, sometimes the opposite.
Chelsea is proof that money cannot always make a team great, a lot of effort is needed and considered including the coaches. Chelsea is dominated by great and expensive players but cannot provide optimal results they don't have good teamwork. We are still waiting to see what the new owner does next season whether to bring in new players or just focus on making the team more solid.

On the paper and team condition Aston Villa much better than Chelsea and Aston Villa as the favourite status but Chelsea was performing well because they were successfully to beat Aston Villa today with the final scores 3-1 and this result makes them can advances to 5th round or round of 16 of FA cup and Chelsea upcoming opponent is Leeds in that competition however you says is true because i don't know why Chelsea always be performing good to other competitions besides Premier League because this season besides on FA Cup Chelsea also has successfully advances to the final match of Carabao Cup Chelsea has been having administrative problems for a long time, even since Abramovich left the club, the only problem is the administrative problem, I think they will continue to have these problems for a long time this season maybe next season, so I don't always trust that team, but they did well in the cup matches.
Chelsea has been suffering 2 big defeated in Premier League from Wolves and Liverpool this makes their position only can occupy 11th place and Chelsea has 13 difference points with Tottenham the team from top 5 and seems their target to playing at european competitions will be so hard because they were failed to showing their consistency and in Premier League Chelsea next opponent is Crystal Palace and the result match from Aston Villa should be boosted their morale to facing this match later and on the paper Crystal Palace is not difficult opponent for them so as long as Chelsea can able to performing well i think beat Crystal Palace is not hard task for them

With this win, Chelsea can go to the next round of FA Cup this season. Defeating Aston Villa is actually surprising if we consider the two teams performance in their previous matches, and statistically, Aston Villa won three out of their last four matches against Chelsea which shows that they are clearly a good opponent that can tackle Chelsea especially seen that Aston Villa is contesting for the title because Uni Emrey is ready to build the team.
Chelsea has never been poor in the sense that they had to feel as if they were poor, but the amount of money they invested is so unreal that no fan in the world can now understand why they should fail with their project. If you have an explanation, then go for it and explain it to the world!
But the win against Aston Villa was a big one as it wasn't just some close game with a happy ending for Chelsea, but it was a convincing performance with several goals and Chelsea was in control. It looked to me as if Aston Villa wasn't prepared to deal with a strong Chelsea team in this game and Aston Villa has been very strong in their home games, but that advantage fell apart a little bit recently.
Turns out that if Chelsea sack Pochettino it will cost them money and they will be in breach of the ffp. But all I can see is that Chelsea have become an average club who are trying to get out of this situation but can't, precisely because of squad problems. They have spent tens of millions on players who don't play at all and don't suit the team
With the current performance of Chelsea, I would say they're now classified as average team, they no longer have the potential to explore in matches. Chelsea unstable at the moment, watching their poor performance in matches, I'm always upset because they don't stand a chance of winning consistently just as other clubs. Todd Boehly won't trigger his moves to sack Mauricio Pochettino because there's a whole lot wrong with the team. Chelsea not in good shape, lost heavily to Wolves and playing Aston Villa in the FA cup.Chelsea demonstrate to fans that they are not poor in all competitions, which is why they maintain their consistency in the FA Cup so that they may dominate the FA Cup this season, although they wish they performed better in the Premier League. The way play today's FA Cup against Aston Villa, and I think they will be able to beat a lot of opponents. However, they refuse to capitalize on the short window of opportunity that has existed since the start of the season.

It is a logical thought for them but at least if they can replicate this same energy in the premier league, they would have been in a better position on the standings than they are now. Chelsea is not just a consistent team this season and one cannot have full hope and be dependent on them to win all matches even the ones that seems easy to be won by them. At least, they’re still fighting to win a cup this season and it is better than nothing. Not going for champions league or any European trophy and not also winning the premier league will be a great loss on their side, so I hope they can keep up and make it to the finals of the FA Cup.

Aston Villa was my favourite to win the match also due to the way Chelsea have been performing poorly, but I am surprised with the result of the match. Chelsea scored three goals in the match, which I never expected, and they conceded just one goal. Chelsea is just a club that’s difficult to predict, they perform well when nobody expects them to perform. Securing three goals is really nice for Chelsea. Let's just hope they will be able to win their subsequent matches. But I don’t just understand where the Chelsea problem is coming from, they disappointed all their fans in their last two Premier League matches.The inconsistency in Chelsea's performance can be thrilling to watch when they give a good fight against the considered the better performing team. These inconsistencies sometime deliver surprise when they won a game against a team that sit higher on the table. Despite the ups and downs, it's natural for fans to maintain hope for their the success in the next games. Supporting a team often involves enduring both the highs and lows of their journey, which ultimately adds to the excitement and passion of being a fan.
For a transition period like Chelsea, Mourinho is the right person for instant results. His coaching character which can bring a club to success in a short period is a consideration, if Chelsea management is no longer confident in Pochettino's performance. The change in club ownership changed Chelsea overall direction, including the way they invested in potential young players, which proved to be a complete failure. It is very likely that Chelsea management will give Pochettino a guarantee until he completes the Carabao Cup final. Rumors of Pochettino dismissal are getting louder after the defeat to Wolves. If he fails in the final, it is certain that his coaching chair will be lost.
His experience with Chelsea is very good, Mourinho is the first person who can open the gates of success for Chelsea in the last two decades. Indeed, he was considered mediocre when he was with Roma, but with Chelsea budget, Mourinho can work optimally to bring the club to success. Pochettino is not the right person for Chelsea, he cannot deliver trophies and cannot make Chelsea appear in the Champions League next season.
Chelsea before now were a good team in the hands of good coaches. It's sad to admit that Pochettino wasn't actually the man for the job. We have good players but all we need is the right combo which Pochettino has failed to establish and make consistent. We're far behind on the table and in our current situation, it'll be so hard to catch up. It's difficult to hope on them coming back up and it's a shame that we're at the position we are even with the players we've had in the team.

Well, it was a bust. Just one goal from Villa to wrap up their loss. I've noticed a pattern already — Chelsea won Newcastle, Middlebrough and now Aston Villa. These are teams that Chelsea would easily lose to in the premier league but will put up their best display in a while when it comes to cup competitions. As long as Pochettino can will some of these cup titles on the side, I'd say it's a job well done because there are teams like Arsenal that do everything right but end the season without a single title to crown their season efforts. Imo, that's much better.

But they performed quite well in FA Cup and EFL Cup. If Chelsea can reach the final FA Cup, they will have 2 finals for domestic competitions this season because they are in the final EFL Cup already. It is interesting to see the performance of this team in these 2 competitions. I'm sure no one expect Chelsea to reach the final round.

I don't know why when I see Chelsea play i still underestimate them because the consistency is still not well maintained but managed to win with a landslide score against Aston Villa which incidentally is a dark horse club this season IMO it is very extraordinary for Cheslea.
Even though in this match their dominance wasnt as great as usual in possession but Chelsea chances could be completed well in my opinion it was a pretty good progress for them its just that this will not be able to be used as a benchmark because in this match they are very good but sometimes in the next match they cannot get the same thing.It's almost the end of the game and I don't think there's a chance for Aston Villa to make a move to change things.
Aston Villa got a consolation goal 1 minute before the end of the match but this did not change anything in the final result because Chelsea still won in this round.
