Aston Villa vs Arsenal Match Thread

For half an hour we were the better side, how the fuck are we 3 down 5 mins later.

[ez]

Definately need one back before half time

[Rigadon]

Some trademark defending for the 2nd and 3rd goals. Clark was marking no one on the second.

Can we stop the match now please.

1) Arsenal are good and by far the best team we've played this season and 2) we're not very good.

Nope, Arsenal were very ordinary til we fell to sleep.

Well this was the worry. How paper thin that confidence was going to be. Especially with 2 late illnesses to contend with. Have to say I started to question Sanchez a game or two back - He mat just need time to settle but I don't think he's better than what we've got. Good half hour but now we're in trouble.

Sanchez is miles off the pace

the way we crumbled is reminiscent of Lambert's reign of terror

What an absolute disaster. I've only been watching for the last five minutes, but we look pretty much how we looked for most of the last two years.

We were fairly good until the goals happened to be fair

Well, at least that's something. I'd rather be fairly good before we turn to utter shit than just be utter shit throughout. ;-)

Is it on the box?

Same thing in the same fixture last season except it was only 2-0 then. sigh.

[Tuscans]

I think if we're all honest then we knew we we're going to get tonked in a game or 2 coming up. We haven't exactly been class despite being second in the league and we all know about Clark.

Arsenal aren't good? No, of course they aren't.

[Small Rodent]

So I was 7 minutes out

Enjoy yourself. We were shit weren't we and deserved it?

[mattjpa]

I had a feeling we would get found out today. We have lucked out...Clarke missed a free header then went to shit, he needs to go im afraid

[ez]

I'd take a draw now.

Hm. I thought it was just a matter of time until they unlocked the midfield. We were booting it up field to no one as well.

Again, players that need goals score against us.

I remarked on that when he came on last week, he looked completely lost. We might as well get Okore and Grealish on here at half time to give them game time if we are going to lose anyway

WTF hit us
