Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Jimbo]

We're giving balls away like a peado with a bag of penny chews. Again.

But so are they!

Let's hope we can copy their goalscoring.

[Malandro]

are the refs cards bigger than they used to be?!

3 times weimann wanted a through ball and it kept going back

[seanthevillan]

Afternoon folks. Just got in, what's the score and how we playing?

Spent 5 minutes at the start watching them pass the ball round, conceded a sloppy weak, hallmark goal. Since we've shaded it and created a few chances, that said we don't exactly inspire confidence at the back..

Gabby's gone close a couple of times.

1-0 them due to some comedy defending.  We've been the better team since then.

[PaulWinch again]

We're one nil down after starting terribly. Done ok since, but defence is just shit.

[PeterWithesShin]

Ta muchly chaps.

[JUAN PABLO]

save  guzn

[PaulWinch again]

We've got to be a lot less confused going forward and the defence needs to stop fucking around.

[Jimbo]

I wouldn't say we've been the better team. We've just had a couple of chances. It's been fairly even after the goal, if anything the Arse have shaded it.

[JUAN PABLO]

better defending there

[JUAN PABLO]

good run weimann

[SamTheMouse]

FFS. How is it possible to be so unutterably shit at defending? What the fuck do our defensive coaches tell the players? Have they been instructed to stare fixedly at the ball and not, under any circumstances, get their heads up and look where the opposition attackers are going? It's not fucking rocket science, is it?

[seanthevillan]

good run weimann

Yeah thought he was going to score goal of the season for a second there.

[eastie]

Played ok since the goal- fairly even game and definitely not out of this game yet - if we can get level the crowd will get edgy and nervous - big 2 nd half needed villa!
