Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

[TopDeck113]

Early days... It would make a change on recent events for Ollie to score and for us to win.

I've only just digested my pie!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Good tracking back there from Bertie.

[PaulWinch again]

Arsenal do carry a threat we need to be efficient here.

Barkely a yard off them when out of possession.

[TopDeck113]

Apparently, Ollie is the first Villa player to score in three successive PL games since Darren Bent did a decade ago. 

Some stats surprise me.  That one doesn't. 

[SoccerHQ]

Don't think Jack has touched the ball yet.

[Mister E]

Barkley unnecessarily put Cash under pressure there, with a poor pass

[Taylor]

We need a throw in coach.

[SamTheMouse]

Barkley a passenger so far.

He's been a yard off the pace in possession as well.  We've started with good energy though.

[Bad English]

Barkley le bouc-émissaire jusqu'ici. ;-)

Yes our throw ins have been poor for years

[Sexual Ealing]

Too much long ball by us.

[PaulWinch again]

Good work from SJM, but needs to be better with his passing.
