Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

KEA losing possession again

[PeterWithesShin]

KEA robbed and it nearly costs us.

Another game that shows we need a leader in the middle.  Westwood and Bannan have been fine but neither of them can boss the game, Ireland doesn't do it, Kea isn't doing it so far and Delph doesn't look like he can either.  I think I'd like to see Gardner have a go in there when he's fit, and see if he can develop into the leader he has been at youth/reserve level, we do need to bring in an experienced option though.

Another nice ball from Westwood at the start of the half. He and Bannan almost need someone behind them in front of the defence to allow them to play more forward.

[Matt Collins]

Weimann can be a bit of a warped chicken. Any obvious reason he's on the left today?

That would have all been kea's fault. He's too relaxed in possession.

[Irish villain]

We can be too casual at times.

[PaulWinch again]

Watch the sloppy passes Villa.

[Doorbell]

Who just played that woeful back pass?

[JUAN PABLO]

why do our players have the touch of Jimmy Saville

[Matt Collins]

Erm, headless chicken I meant!

[Rigadon]

Needed a better ball from Gabby after all that effort.

[Doorbell]

Unlucky gabby, battled well there, shame about the final ball.

[Rigadon]

Erm, headless chicken I meant!

Haha, prefer warped!

[citizenDJ]

Arsenal's passing under pressure is light years ahead of ours. I know that's not news, but still.

Vlaar going off. Not good.

[ozzjim]

Who just played that woeful back pass?

Lowton I think got caught out.


Lichaz on for Vlaar. Oh. Fuckity. Fuck. Fuck.
