Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal Post Match Thread

[Percy McCarthy]

The Spanish Pulis can fuck off the straw clutching twat. Think about your own tactics that created fuck all in 90 minutes, think about you taking your best player and shunting them to full back so you could add your 8th number 10 into the mix...and still create fuck all.

Not a foul by Konsa, Saka makes first contact. Its never a penalty, so go fuck yourself you bitter little twat.

Yeah, fuck off Lego head.

That made me laugh

Quality. Should henceforth be his AKA.

[Deano's Mullet]

You wait so long for a home win vs Arsenal and then we beat them three times in a row. If we could do just do Man United now....

Yeah, back to Lazy Town for Robbie Rotten

Mings can be God 2 if he cuts out the mistakes and concentrates for 90 minutes.

[SamTheMouse]

We played OK, but the midfield got bypassed too often and can do a lot better. The defence was brilliant, though, as usual, and Watkins is fab.

Barkley seems to have his arse in his hand for some reason. Maybe he wants to go back to Chelsea now Lampard's gone. Or maybe he thinks now we've got our man in Sanson, we won't be looking to sign him.

Also, Arsenal are shit. Arteta will be gone before the season's out.

[PeterWithe]

He's got fuck all chance of playing for Chelsea or Tuchel and if he's looking to play for a team who dont look to improve the squad then he isn't going to get the kind of wages he's used to.

I still think the obvious answer is that he's frustrated because he knows he can do better, and will with a more games.

[rougegorge]

Our defence and keeper were very good today. Mings had one of those masterful games we know he is capable of, rather than one of the occasional hapless ones.

Targett has had a lot of unnecessary stick but he’s stuck it out and has improved a lot.

I enjoyed that game more in retrospect than during the game, although we had by far the clearer chances and could have won more comfortably.

Ollie was great, so let’s hope the lack of options up front doesn’t bite us.

Jack looked a bit leggy for him, although he was so far left sometimes he was nearly off the pitch.

Wins are always nice but the two v Arsenal have been timely ,first after home defeats v Leeds and Soton and now after West Ham.Shows character and belief.Mings was our oldest outfield player today,28 next month,and Martinez is 28.
Future looks bright.

Arteta crying in his post match interview was funny. Looks like a man clinging onto his job! Shame. The arses deserved nothing from that game and got nothing. UTV!

Thought Traore was decent enough, held his position to stretch them wide and retained the ball well enough, his tracking back was even improved until the few minutes before he got dragged.

Credit where its due. Traore did the goal and nearly did a second IMO. Better defensively first half. footy will gave him praise also but else its not existing on here (just worked me trough the pages). Just wanted to point out as I think he had a good first half in a difficult position for us and after all without him we hadnt won the game.
Love 1-0 s and as pointed out here we where good defensively with Mings. We did earn it IMO and again very nervwrecking, would have put on Elmo insted of Trez but Dean does it his way and was rewarded today.

[PaulWinch again]

I think Barkley is down on confidence. He started to show a bit of a spark at the beginning of the second half, hopefully more will come.

[frank black]

We can win when not at our best.....and I Love It!

[ChicagoLion]

Did you actually watch the game Footy? Barkley 7.5, never in a million years.

5 tops

[exigo]

Makes such a difference to have a set of players and coaches who are all helping each other.

Emi admits he wasn't good enough of Wednesday. Comes into training and gets the forwards to fire shots at him from the same angles, without letting anything past him.

Mings acknowledges his occasional brain farts, and now you see him taking no chances if there's any doubt. Just put the ball into touch and reset.

When you've got that attitude, the sky really is the limit.

That's what makes Barkley's strop all the more annoying. Strolls around and thinks he's above being subbed. Ramsey did more in his 15 minutes than Barkley in 75 – pressing well, dropping back when needed and moving the ball with intelligence

The week off will do them well. Wouldn't be surprised after a full week of training to see Sanson or Ramsey starting next week.
