Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

7 of our starting 11 are 23 or younger.

IF, and it appears a very large IF we can stay up this season, the side has the potential to improve and go a long way.

We're playing football, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

[Yossarian]

I enjoyed that.

[hilts_coolerking]

Good stuff there.

[PaulWinch again]

We've started well overall.

KEA running his socks off, looking lively so far....

[Archie]

Very good start and excellent distribution by Barry Bannan.

[Matt Collins]

Bebteke's volleying and finishing off his left side leaves something to be desired doesn't it? A threat though

[onje_villa]

Better.
On another note, we must be the only team in the league to get physically intimidated by Arsenal

[PeterWithesShin]

Playing some nice stuff so far.

[PaulWinch again]

We have to sustain this level for the whole game and actually create chances though.

We need to play like this against Reading though, not just against Arsenal and Man United

That's the problem we're facing: players who are essentially 'ones for the future' have been dropped into a relegation struggle.

That's my big worry. It's sure to feel a bit low key isn't it?
