Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

[Bobby Boy]

We need some possession. Can't allow Arsenal to dictate like this.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Sleep walking towards an equaliser here

[brontebilly]

Just no penetration from our midfield at all. Conversely, they seem to stroll through ours at will.

Our midfield two have been hopeless frankly

[jwarry]

We are hanging on a bit here

[Toronto Villa]

Giving away so many free kicks will get us into trouble. Aside from the goal and the other really good chance Arsenal have been much the better side without really having too many clear cut chances.

[JUAN PABLO]

thats a fucking foul

3rs foul on Grealish and should be in the book.

[BC Villain]

Awful performance here.  Midfield being given the runaround

[rob_bridge]

Definite foul on Jack but no point him arguing

Hanging on? They've created nothing.

[Taylor]

I think Barkley has done ok.

[JUAN PABLO]

Get Barkley off

Cash best player so far , actually think SJM has been ok .

Emi looking good .

step it up after HT , Morgan on for Barkley

[PaulWinch again]

Not sure how a two handed shove in the back isn’t a foul.

think SJM has been fine, Nakamba and Barkley no where near the pace of the game. If Smith does not sort this, we know how this goes.

[PaulWinch again]

We need the midfield to compete more or we’ll be in trouble in the second half.
