No Bettanelli for them, that’s handy
-
No Ramsdale either. That’s probably a bad thing.

The third choice Chelsea keeper?

Martinelli

Win please.

Something Nelly anyway

-
Please don't be shit.
-
It can't be too hard to prepare against our midfield trio. Just get in their faces, even Arsenal can do that these days.
And Saka against old man Young? Ugh...this could be a long afternoon.
-
Happy enough with that team and glad Martinelli missing.
No Hause on the bench though. Covid or arrested by the fashion police for that white outfit at Cheltenham?
-
The outdoor disco at the pub* across the road is playing Sweet Caroline right now and has played Hi Ho Silver Lining. It’s a sign I tells ye!
*It’s Saturday night in Australia
-

Abdominal strain apparently.

Ha! Hause was looking dapper wasn't he! Not. Jesus Christ. Fair play to him though for being brave enough to attempt pulling it off!
Would have liked to have seen our midfield tweaked a little bit. It's our weakest area.
-
We will need to bewitch the Tarquins with skill because we don't really have a massive hard-man midfield to engage in fucking the fuckers, do we?
-
This is on RMC Sport in glorious 4K UHD so I will be able to admire Luiz's sexy fat-lip and stitches in detail. McGinn's arse rolling will be blindingly clear too.
-
Good to see Buendia back in, happy with the team.
-
In Bubba’s Barbados slightly too many Tarquins in here.
-
No Ramsdale either. That’s probably a bad thing.
I think he has had a very good season. I don't rate Leno at all
-
Still recovering from Gallbladder surgery. Even dodgy turds haven’t stopped me from having an alcohol free beer whilst watching this on a trickle.
-
Bastards making us attack the Holte in the first half. Unsporting.
-
******.com on ref and VAR duty.
What's the betting Moss is a wanker to us on VAR.
And Mcmanaman co-commentating
Come on Villa!

Each to their own but it wouldn't have been my choice of outfit for a jump festival in March surrounded by Guinness drinkers.
-
Playing the wrong way. Don’t like that.
-
I don’t like when we attack the Holte in the first half. Feels alien and uncomfortable
-
Playing the wrong way. Don’t like that.
Me neither. Arsenal must think it benefits them.
-
If anyone has any useful information on collections of water that may be of interest right now, I’d be very grateful for a PM.
-
Talking about uncomfortable - Young looks like he’s in for a tough afternoon
-
Ash Young is my only worry in this team.
-
Nice tackle johnny
-
Luiz sloppy already. How much does he trouser to play professional football ?
-
Good free kick
-
Save emi
-
What's Konsa doing thou
-
Jesus Konsa. Give us a heart attack why don’t you?

-
Shocking start. We look panic stricken when Arsenal come at us
-
We look hungover.
-
The crowd seems awfully quiet today..?
-
McGinn and Cash decent. Everyone else naff so far.
-
Early yellow for JJ
-
We've not got going as an attacking force so far.
-
Early yellow for JJ
Bit harsh I thought.
-
Yellow card? That ref was desperate to give a card.
-
Arsenal the better team at the moment.
-
The crowd seems awfully quiet today..?
Always seem that way early kick offs
-
Arsenal unlucky not to score just.
-
Fuck that was close. Sort it out Steven!
-
It doesn’t help when we tend to look like the team that’s played three in a week.
-
Better villa
-
Bit better just.
-
Arsenal will score in a minute. We look terrified and seems we haven’t got a clue.
-
The problem is, our we play naroow with a midfield who struggle to hold onto the ball
-

Edited for you. :-)
-
We look fucking clueless...worrying
-
They've got us sussed at the moment. Long ball or short ball, neithers working.
-
25 minutes gone. Villa garbage
Someone needs to (fairly) boot some of these Arsenal players into touch.
Saka and Smith-Rowe are very good, though.
-
Ffs
-
And so it happens.
-
Useless villa
-
Fuck off!
-
And there it is.
-
The tablet is out.
-
Fucking hell
-
Deserved. This has been absolutely gutless
-
Second best all over the pitch today.. 5mph worm burner slides past emi.
Really disappointed with the energy and effort thus far.
-
What a truly awful goal to concede
-
Kicking off
-
Full house owners in the stands and we’ve barely started to play
-
Poor from Emi.
-
Far too easy. It’s been coming.
-
Jesus Christ. That’s bad. We haven’t woken up again.
-
Oh dear.
-
Soft on so many levels.
-
McGinn twat.
-
It’s predictable though isn’t it. Different season same inconsistency.
-
Won the fucking bal
-
Poor from Emi.
I think he could not see it until too late.
-
On second look, that shouldn’t even be a booking..
-
Rubbish Villa
Should have made some changes to this midfield. It's such a stale, inept area.
-
Not even a fifty fifty challenge, Mings is there well ahead of Sska
-
The free kick that led to the goal was Saka tripping over himself. Mings yellow was Saka falling over himself. Clearly untouchable.
-
On second look, that shouldn’t even be a booking..
Its always a difficult one because of the follow through, but surely you foot/leg has to go somewhere?
-
Come on Gerrard. what does the iPad suggest we do?
-
Fuck all wrong with that tackle from Mings
-
Luis quiet again.. an surprised sanson didn't start
-
Far too often our first half tempo is absolutely crap and we pay for it. Players should be looking for the ball, not hiding away. Pile of toss.
-
What was Mcginn doing there? Lucky to stay on the pitch.
-
Come on Gerrard. what does the iPad suggest we do?
Go back to Scotland? You're out of your depth here?
-
McGinn twat.
Come on, that was a world class push.
-
Pathetic from the ref, not even a foul, again. How can you compete when the ref makes up the rules for the opposition.
All 3 yellows so far have been soft as fuck.
-
What was Mcginn doing there? Lucky to stay on the pitch.
Indeed.
-
Come on Gerrard. what does the iPad suggest we do?
playing football manager on it
-
We've barely had a kick. Probably one of the best 30 minutes of football I've seen another team play against us this year - totally shut down any forward options with their press.
I don't even think we've been notably poor, nor has anyone has dropped any clangers - we've just been played off the park. Worth trying something drastic at half time to try and turn it around to be honest.
-
Come on Gerrard. what does the iPad suggest we do?
Accepted Apples updated terms and conditions - thats what it always suggests
-
First time we pressed and arsenal made mistake
More of that
-
Don't see what else Mings can do there, he won the ball cleanly with both feet on the ground, he tripped over his trailing leg. The only other option for Mings is to not bother and let Saka get the ball? This ref's a knob anyway.
-
Any chance of Luiz joining in today?
-
Mings should have faked injury the same as the arsenal player.
-
We need more bodies in the box
-
Sanson on for Doug is the obvious swap. So obvious.
-
A cardboard cut out could be a good swap for luiz
-
Book him then ref
-
So the ref is an arse fan
-
No yellow for that then?
-
That Partey, what on earth was he doing? A clear penalty for almost assaulting Tyrone
-
Ref has set his stall out that a villa player making contact is free kick but not the reverse, fucking cortupt bullshit.
-
Chaka is a wanker
-
Sanson on for Doug is the obvious swap. So obvious.
As is Ings for Watkins.
-
No yellow? Fouls JJ.
An almost identical foul to JJ's foul on Smith-Rowe.
No booking.
Ref needs to be hung, drawn and quartered.
-
Won the ball there too
-
No yellow? Fouls JJ.
An almost identical foul to JJ's foul on Smith-Rowe.
No booking.
Ref needs to be hung, drawn and quartered.
Referee's been dreadful to be fair. Not the reason we're losing this though
-
Sanson on for Doug is the obvious swap. So obvious.
Sanson for Ramsey or McGinn. He’s not suited to the holding midfield role.
-
Mcmanaman can get in the fucking sea, biased c**t.
-
I think I'd be tempted to put play Ings with Watkins and try and give their CBs a bit more to think about. Maybe take one of the midfielders off, sit them both deep, and just try and work the wide areas more in a 4-2-2-2
We need to change shape significantly as they have been excellent and had full control.
-
This has been a very poor half. We’ve not played well at all. But the ref has completely bought Arsenal’s constant fucking whining and bitching.
-
Booing , must be the ref
-
Sanson on for Doug is the obvious swap. So obvious.
Sanson for Ramsey or McGinn. He’s not suited to the holding midfield role.
Neither is Doug and he is a passenger.
-
Fucking disgraceful first half.
Pedestrian, pace less , passive and brainless.
We are being completely boxed in when we play out from the back and will not mix it up and take the pressure off.
I know consistency is the mark of a good team, and that’s where we are well short, but that half was abysmal.
-
Least it's only 1.
-
Mcmanaman can get in the fucking sea, biased c**t.
Haha. Get in the sea. I agree
-
That was shambolic.
Like we’re crapping bricks whenever they come over the halfway line.
Losing it in midfield again!
2nd half had better be better.
-
Well hopefully Gerrard will bollock them and we'll do better but.im fed up of performances like this.

Precisely!
-
Get sanson on please .. Luis waste of a shirt ..
Don't think Gerrard does half time subs thou
-
Not great.
-
Is it too much to ask for us to come back and get at least a point today?
-
I always think Ings suits bendia and courtinho better than Watkins
-
Awful half. Let’s hope that was the bad one. Sanson for Ramsey and Ings for Watkins please.
-

As bad as we've been, Arsenal have done a job on us to be fair.
Swap the names Smith and Grealish, and replace them with Gerrard and Coutinho. Its still a depressing over-reliance on one player
-
Saka is a little wanker aswell-chatting to the smirking ref as if they are best mates.
Fuck off Arsenal
I expect a much better second half. None of our players have played well.
Special mentions for Ollie, Buendia, McGinn, Luiz and Ashley Young who have all been fucking dreadful. Earn your wages you lazy shits
-
Piss poor again. It’s like watching kids sometimes with our midfield.
-
We made it so easy for Arsenal that half, no pressing at all until they scored. Watkins isolated and feeding off the odd long ball.
-
An embarrassing half. Not a single half decent performance from any of them. And it's too early to drink through it. Twats.
-
Well I doubt Arse have an easier 45 than that. We were just powder puff and clueless. I’m expecting better second half but not holding my breath
-
Well that was incredibly comfortable for Arsenal as a half of football. Arsenal just way quicker in thought and action. We’ve just not got into the game at all.
-
Pretty awful to be honest.
The problem is our tatics dont seem to based on who we play, and were not good enough to play the way we want to play
Our midfield just doesn't work unless there all playing amazing. We cant move the ball from back to front at all - I would be tempted to put on bailey for one of the midfielders and go for a 4231, and try and move the ball quicker and wider - might give courtinho a bit more space too
-
Well hopefully Gerrard will bollock them and we'll do better but.im fed up of performances like this.
This season frustrates
-
Showing them way too much respect, its embarrasing to be honest.
Playing the two 10's and asking Ashley Young to provide our width is never going to work, everything breaks down when he gets the ball.
-
Just glad it's only 1 nil, Arsenal a class above us, changes needed and early in 2nd half.
-
That was dismal although not helped by the wanker ref. Our midfield just isn't good enough, and I’ve had more yban enough of McGinn and Luiz. Watkins is just a shit footballer full stop. Absolutely devoid of ability.
-
McGinn and Luiz can be replaced in the summer. Crap.
-
Ramsdale could have played today
With deck chair and a margarita
-
It's obvious the instruction was to not press, they are plaing to a plan that's not working. So many players not up to the pace, Luiz has to be replaced but i bet it will be too late to make a difference. I would look to take Ramsey off.
-
Still in the game but didn’t get started. Arsenal have improved on last season though.
-
It is very windy. I wonder if that's why they turned us round at the start. I'm going to give us the benefit of the doubt, I think we'll be a bit more progressive second half. Would not be surprised to see Ings on sooner than later.
Rubbish goal to give away though.
-
I never want to Young play again, he offers precisely zilch at any aspect of the game.
-
Half arsed defending for their goal. So frustrating.
-
Dreadful!
0 shots.
Predictably boring!
Whatever the ref may or may not be doing does anyone really think we’ll get anything when a scab 6 team is involved?
We have to do things for ourselves.
-

We're 20th in terms of playing a pressing game this season.
We just seem to allow teams to play.
-
2 x number 10 and neither get within 20 yards of Watkins when the ball gets to him.
It’s not surprising he loses the ball every single time with that lack of support.
-
An embarrassing half. Not a single half decent performance from any of them. And it's too early to drink through it. Twats.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), I've almost worked my way through a bottle of whiskey in the last two hours. Mixing it with soda water, as is the way here, but still.
It's not helping my mood. Hope you're well mate!
-

This is what is frustrating me - why can't we improve like that - we've spent enough money.
-
Iroegbunam isn't out...
-
Well that was shite. Think we’re still in bed. The ref is shocking but we have been woeful.
-
I always think Ings suits bendia and courtinho better than Watkins
Better feet, more intelligent and lethal when given an opportunity.
-
I never want to Young play again, he offers precisely zilch at any aspect of the game.
Time has caught up with him, Saka has turned him inside out in the first 45 minutes.
-
we should be garanteed changes for the second half but what's the odds there are none.
-
I have had a good think, and my conclusion is that whatever the wankiness of the wanker in the black, we were wank.
-
2 x number 10 and neither get within 20 yards of Watkins when the ball gets to him.
It’s not surprising he loses the ball every single time with that lack of support.
Yeah formation just doesn't work against the majority of teams
-
Edens and Sawiris are here today so hopefully they see we need to spend big in the summer.

The soda cancels it out - keep going!
All good thanks fella.
-

Several out, several in.

It doesn’t work for us. Coutinho looks invisible as does Buendia in this system.
-
Every time Gabby thinks about Buendia he has a cake
-
Edens and Sawiris are here today so hopefully they see we need to spend big in the summer.
Again.
-
Can Watkins control a ball ?
-

I was about to say the same, we can't keep on doing this, can we?

Good stuff mate!
I fully intend to, particularly as there hasn't been a single personnel change!
-
Can Watkins control a ball ?
The answer is no.
-
Watkins has got such a great first touch.
-
Watkins doesn't need a second touch because he has normally lost the ball with his first touch.
-
Watkins lack of a first touch is really staggering.
-
When will we work on what to do when we have the ball in our box?
-
I’m yet to see much evidence in this earth 2nd half that there have been any improvements at half time
-
Really poor. Arsenal press our midfield, we play it back to Mings, long to Watkins and lost. Rinse and repeat. Martinez rubbish again for a conceded goal.
-
Look at that….cross from McGinn and no one anywhere near the box other than Watkins
-
Can Watkins control a ball ?
The answer is no.
He needs to start working on that in training
Come on Villa, for fucking hell's sake.
-

We just seem to allow teams to play.
It's strange. We must be the only club that doesn't believe in it.
-
We’ve lost reception here. I believe this is a good thing.
-
Where’s the fucking marking!
-
Can Watkins control a ball ?
10 touches in the first half, not sure if all were trying to control a ball.
-
They win score again if we don't change it
-
Fucking God. It’s back on. And we’re still bollocks
-
When Arsenal are playing with more grit than you away from home, it’s a problem.
-
Bit better
-
Gerrard is being entirely out coached by Arteta. They are not this much better than us
-
Think it might be time to kill some sacred cows. McGinn and Watkins are good players with many fine qualities, but if they're automatic starters then the middle of the table is the best we're going to hope for.
-
Get Ramsay off
-
We ain't scoring here.
-
Fucking hell. Sort it out!
-
This is a Bruce-esque performance
-
From an attacking position we nearly concede. And again the ref ignores a foul on us
-
Saka is nothing but a fucking cheat
-
Smith Rowe is joesque in his ability to buy fouls and take the pressure of his team.
-
He will sent off soon
-
Ings isn't going to change anything.
-
Ings will be on for Buendia soon
-
Buendia so disappointing today.
-
Think it might be time to kill some sacred cows. McGinn and Watkins are good players with many fine qualities, but if they're automatic starters then the middle of the table is the best we're going to hope for.
You're kinder to them than I would be.
-
Someone will get sent off today.
-
Inge isn't going to change anything.
This. Watkins is bad but Ings is worse.
-
Gerrard is being entirely out coached by Arteta. They are not this much better than us
Them being 4th in the table with 54 points against our 36 kinda suggests they are.
-
What the fuck was that final ball
-
Inge isn't going to change anything.
This. Watkins is bad but Ings is worse.
Yeah the problem is midfield not attack.
-
We've got a bit of a foot-hold in the game now.
-
Damn close there
-
Sanson for Luiz, anyone for Young, now please Ste.
-
Much better. Decent effort from McGinn.
-
Ramsey needs hooking.
-
Ramsey has to come off. He’s a walking accident today.
-
Oh for a player like Partey in our midfield.
-
Freshen it up ffs
-
63 minutes gone Steven.
-
Please get Watkins off.
-
Sanson for Ramsey please
-
MAKE A FUCKING CHANGE STEVE FOR FUCKS SAKE
-
Please get Watkins off.
Watkins, Luiz, Ramsey, Young, Buendia...
-
Partley the new rodrigo
-
Come on! This is dreadful.
-
Lot of yellow cards.
-
Rubbish
-
Must take Ramsey off now, his not "there"
-
Luiz. Wank free kick.
-
We need to get something in this little spell.
-
When Watkins says Doug is the best free kick specialist you have to worry
-
Why is fucks name is Luiz taking free kicks?
-
Dreadful free kick
-
Bailey and Traoré?
-
Watkins hits post
-
What must you think if you are Ings, Bailey or Traore watching us have 1 shot in an 65 minutes and not getting a game.
We did the double over these last year and spent much of the season above them. Really disappointing to see how far ahead of us they are now.
-
Bailey coming on and maybe Bert
-
Gerrard is rubbish regarding substitutions. Exactly the same as Dean was.
What's wrong with these fucking managers and their ineptitude
Luiz is possibly the worst player I've ever seen...ok that's not true, but he isn't very good at football.
-
Fucking post!
-
Shocking corner
-
With WE and NS in the ground, surely they must be thinking - how did we spend so much money and have such an unbalanced team. We have at least 4 wingers, but not play wingers.
5 midfielders most of who are pretty much identical, and the most important position in the club is fullback, of which we have 1 each.
I think this 2 "10"s is stupid the whole point of a "10" is to find the space
-
No Sanson??????
-
About time Bertie earnt his wage
-
No Sanson??????
. Odd
-
Arsenal's kit looks like it has been washed 600 times using Flash for floors. Shite!
-
You thought the balance was bad before.. enter Traore and Bailey.
Going all out for the goals now - cross your fingers.
-
Gerrard is rubbish regarding substitutions. Exactly the same as Dean was.
What's wrong with these fucking managers and their ineptitude
Luiz is possibly the worst player I've ever seen...ok that's not true, but he isn't very good at football.
Luiz is by a long way the best of our midfield three today. Free kick aside, he has been good second half.
-
Why it takes so long to use subs
-
Those were the right substitutions - we need them to stay wide, and win some 1-on-1s.
-
Arsenal's kit looks like it has been washed 600 times using Flash for floors. Shite!
It's horrid isn't it.
It's probably the same colour as those pastries that man in France wanked in, in the story you shared recently.
-
Luiz is possibly the worst player I've ever seen...ok that's not true, but he isn't very good at football.
You can still see?! You’ve got to be close to polishing off the entire bottle of whiskey by now.

No Sanson??????
Don't understand it at all. Seemed like he on the verge of breaking into the team a couple of weeks back. Not getting a sniff now.

He is anonymous and ineffectual most of the time.

Ha!
A glass of French red now.
Tomorrow isn't going to be pleasant.
I feel an equaliser coming.
-
This is the most fucking half arsed, half hearted performances I have seen for ages

I wouldn't say them being 1-0 up, or our failure to break them down, has been a particular failing of the deepest lying midfielder.
In terms of what each of the three is meant to do, I think both McGinn and Ramsey before he went off had been making a lot of bad decisions and being too risk averse in terms of their forward passing.
-
If anybody thinks Coutinho is going to stay and play in this team they're delusional. We still struggle to put three passes together.
-
I don’t know really why I bothered watching this today. The next few games are going to be shocking aren’t they? Why do we look so scared against top half teams???
Not one single shot on target. Pathetic

Speaking of which, I was at a charity function last night (involved getting wankered on decent wine, and eating stuff) and regaled my friends with your deep-fried whale-sperm story.
-
Yes, McGinn and Ramsey far worse performer today than Luiz.
-
How easy did he go down
-
How easy did he go down
Does what Joe did for us

McManaman's a wanker, but he did make one good point this half in that McGinn's position when we're in possession is far too deep - especially when we have Luiz picking up the ball from the CBs. He needs to be making runs and trying to create space for Coutinho - and he's putting too much of the game in front of him.
-
The difference today is the Arse play with pace and movement.
We play like a bunch of OAP’s.
-
I'm getting pissed. Fuck this! At least it's not 0-3 like it used to be when we played these wankers back in the day.
-
Can't see us scoring until next year
-
I'm getting pissed. Fuck this! At least it's not 0-3 like it used to be when we played these wankers back in the day.
10 mins to go yet!
-
Nothing Gerrard said before the match about addressing the problems in the last game has happened.
-
Pretty annoyed with Gerrard trying his two no 10's thing again. Playing two 10's and emptying the flanks against a team with some of the best wide players in the league.
-
Again. Bringing Ings on won't change a thing.
-

In that case, Ings to equalise on 87.
-
Well Watkins was rubbish
-

They could get another four, true.
-
Arsenal's kit looks like it has been washed 600 times using Flash for floors. Shite!
It's horrid isn't it.
It's probably the same colour as those pastries that man in France wanked in, in the story you shared recently.
Speaking of which, I was at a charity function last night (involved getting wankered on decent wine, and eating stuff) and regaled my friends with your deep-fried whale-sperm story.
Ha! It's been a while since I've filled myself with such delicacies!
-
Ashley Young has done alright this half. Made some decent blocks on their attacks and he's been buzzing around the left flank. Good cross just then.
-
This is pretty shit.
-
We’re not going to score if we played another 90
-
When’s Bailey coming on????
-
Again. Bringing Ings on won't change a thing.
Will he even touch the ball.
-
Stratagem Steve has thrown on a load of subs.
-
We have been awful today but too lose by that shite goal will be a pisser
-
Arteta fuck back in your box twat
-
It’s a cliché but we haven’t ‘wanted’ this enough.
Slow to react to free balls, barely won any second balls or second phase balls.
It’s like we are close to 40 points and on the beach already.
-
Lambert style.
-
Nothings going to change ever is it. I’m hoping I’m jinxing it.
-
That was the half chance ..
-
This season. Has been very irritating and we have not got the points this squad should have. So unprofessional.
-
I’m not feeling that we’re doing anything at all today.
-
We've managed to drag Coutinho down to our level too.
-
I thought we had a good chance of getting at least a draw today. But 85 minutes and not one shot on target.
-
Mings has been our best player today.
Gerrard out of 10 as a manager today? Minus 704
-
They always get the loose ball
-
Missed most of this half, had we have one of Bert's famous clearances which go 2 miles high and nobody is quite sure where it is?
-
We've managed to drag Coutinho down to our level too.
Most of the players aren’t playing to their potential. Or strengths.
-
We've managed to drag Coutinho down to our level too.
Yep just saw that pass
-
Can somebody chain themselves to the goalpost with a 'Stop Villa being shit!' T-shirt?
-
The only time I see Coutinho is him picking up the ball from our defenders occasionally. If that's not evidence of a poor midfield, I don't know what is!
-
We ate a bunch of also rans this year
-
Traore and Bailey have done the square root of fuck all since coming on
-
When we are shit, we are proper shit aren’t we.
No half measures.
-

Looks like it gave us indegestion
-
When we are shit, we are proper shit aren’t we.
No half measures.
I wish we would fucking occasionally draw games like this.
I hate losing and wish our players/management hated as much as I do.
-
Another weekend shit on. Cheers Villa
-
I'm definitely going to grumble a bit tonight.
-
If anybody thinks Coutinho is going to stay and play in this team they're delusional. We still struggle to put three passes together.
Coutinho has been utterly anonymous
-
Traore and Bailey have done the square root of fuck all since coming on
Absolutely awful the pair of them
-
Traore and Bailey have done the square root of fuck all since coming on
Rubbish the pair of them, very surprising first subs for me given Gerrard had been critical of their efforts in training during the week.
-
Wow we’ve been so shit and still were in the game. But it’s still it been enough for us to put a bit more effort in in the last few minutes. So sloppy. Infuriating.
-
Fuck me! Traffic well and truly beaten around Villa Park! They can start sweeping the Trinity now.
-
I enjoyed last season. Man United aside we've been back to being utter shit vs the sky 6.
-
Pepe has been shite
Can we sigh him
-
Fuck off Traore. And fuck off half of this team. Shit.
-
Don't let Luiz take it!
-
That was the worst performance I’ve seen in a couple of weeks. Since the last one.
We’re losing this in midfield still, I’m genuinely concerned that we persist with Luiz and McGinn and JJ at the moment. All three had stinkers today, we had no presence there at all. Why we didn’t play with the entire 2 up front with Coutinho behind, I have no idea? It didn’t work today and hasn’t when done before.
Shocking
-
Good play from Luiz again....
-
Fuck off Arsenal!
-
Shit.
-
Fucking hate arsenal
Thanks for ruining my weekend Villa
-
Gutted . Not the score but wtih the way we played.
-
Dreadful performance. Gerrard got that all wrong.
-
We have gone fucking backwards since last season. Criminal with the owners we have.
-
What's sanson done wrong
-
If anybody thinks Coutinho is going to stay and play in this team they're delusional. We still struggle to put three passes together.
Coutinho has been utterly anonymous
No shit, Sherlock.
-
That was utter wank. Watkins was dismal and Bailey is shaping up nicely as our most pointless expensive signing ever.
-
We didnt have a chance, more worrying still; half of our players didnt look good enough for this level/ this type of game (fx Cash, Watkins, Ramsey). Mostly disappointing.
-
Mmm
-
Arsenal celebrating like they've won the league.
-
Our low bids for ESR really wound Arsenal up and motivated them to beat us twice imho.
-
Never got excited once
