Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

Westwood has vision that our other players don't have, that pass to KEA was great but KEA cocked up the cross.

Bannan was superb, works better with Ireland in with him though

Yeah, he looks a very good player I think. I wonder if he and Delph would be any good in the middle (KEA replaced by Delph)?

Then again, I'm not sure I want Delph back in the team.

Perennial worry is that the opposition can step it up a gear in the second half whereas we tend to get worse.

[ez]

Just remembered we don't do second halfs do we

[JUAN PABLO]

well I will be disappointed If we lose this , its a very average Arse side , we are fighting for our lives and we are at home , we need minimum  one point.

Nope no Delph in the side, it should be Ireland.

I think Ireland has been left out because he tires in the second half. Maybe having him as an impact player will improve our second half performances?

[JUAN PABLO]

Is that Arse shaving on the bench?

[barrysleftfoot]

  Ireland on for KEA, who has disappointed tonight.

  Wonder if Bent is being kept for the next 2 games?

  To improve we need better players than Weimann and Gabby.That was a very poor touch in the penalty area from Gabby.We need better.

[Matt Collins]

Our best chance is from a set piece or long ball to benteke, though he's been mixed so far. I would have thought Ireland or potentially Holman for kea after not too much longer. Full backs doing well, but a bit suspect positionally

I still think arsenal will get a couple at some point

[Irish villain]

Nice to see we don't hoof from the kick off anymore.

[Irish villain]

Ah KEA....

[PaulWinch again]

Get KEA off, that is piss poor.

[citizenDJ]

So yeah, El Ahmadi is starting to annoy me a little now.
