Aston Villa vs Arsenal Match Thread

[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. 

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

Until they scored (gifts from our until now solid defence) they looked fairly limited to long range passes and shots to me.  They're all over us now of course, but their tails are up and full of confidence.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

The players look fucked. Need to get them in for half-time, and tell them to go out and have a go without worrying about letting more in. Try to get a bit of confidence back.

[Tuscans]

I'd take a draw now.

We're going to see what Lambert's plan B is soon.

3 quick goals and were right back in it !

Sanchez is having a shocker

[N'Zimidy]

We're just shit whenever we go above 34k attendance at Villa Park.

Just close the North Stand and we're laughing.

Sanchez needs another 6 months in the reserves to get up to speed, he's nowhere near the pace of the game and really shows how we miss Westwood.

Francis on the commentary just said there are 2-3 in the side out there also suffering this virus. Not really surprised we are looking pretty ropey.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

We're going to see what Lambert's plan B is soon.

Book Father Christmas in for a half-time sky dive, followed by the greatest of all comebacks?

[Deano's Mullet]

Would love to be a fly on the wall in our dressing room now. Who rips them a new bollock, Lambert or Keane cos I know who i'd pick to do it. But like you say, we did alright until, the first goal.

[peter w]

Jesus. From genuinely wondering how good we were and that we could quite easily win this to hoping we don't concede 6.

[Small Rodent]

I think we've passed it about fine. And looked good. Proper football though isn't it?

One great save and a blind block and the story could be different.

[mattjpa]

Sanchez looks completely wank as well. Not impressed at all

[TopDeck113]

Oh well, at least we'll be first on MOTD...

[FatSam]

If you are going to look for weak links, then Sanchez and Clark are certainly the candidates for me.
