We spent all the second half against 10 men, the 10 men did us 3-1 in that half, what reaction are you expecting?and against a shocking and often bottling team such as Arsenal

Really over the top reactions.
Quote from: Rudy65 on September 22, 2019, 06:33:00 PMI love SJM but he looked knackered after an hour. He either isnt fit enough, which is unlikely, or he needs to conserve his energy much better. It's not the first time he's had a brilliant first half and then you forget he's playing in the second. He looks completely and utterly knackered which is hardly surprising given the amount of running he does. Unfortunately Dean doesn't see it or if he does, refuses to take him off as he's out main goal threat. That's another subject that seriously needs urgent attention.The only positive from today is Villa didn't ruin all my weekend. I'd have hated to have seen that game on a Friday night. Small blessings.

We’re 4 points off 6th having played spurs & arsenal away and Everton & West Ham at home. Wow.That's marvellous spin. Firstly, we're not four points off 6th, we're 4 points off 12th, and two places off the bottom.

We aren’t exactly cut a drift are we?
That felt worryingly like the Leicester 15/16 game. Played well, things appeared to be clicking but pissed it away, mainly through tactical ineptitude.
Getting knackered and sitting deeper and deeper has nothing to do with PL experience though, none of us have managed in the PL but we could see what was happening and that changes were needed. We didn't make those changes until after their 3rd.
