Arsenal vs Aston Villa match thread

[Toronto Villa]

On the back of two very poor results this is a game we have to go all out to win. Arsenal have improved of late so this won't be easy at all. Again a back three selected and again Ings and Watkins up front. At least Bailey back on the bench

[Drummond]

No Traore. Hmmm

[Toronto Villa]

Saka fit and in the line up for them

[ChicagoLion]

Oh dear Smith showing his stubbornness.

[olaftab]

Same as last two matches expect  same outcome

[gpbarr]

Big fan of Deans’s but again seems to be very myopic in going 3-5-2 again. No real changes after a couple bad results doesn’t send players the right message. Lose tonight and he’s really going to be on thin ice with an increasing number of fans

352 is a formation for the odd game, not something to use continually to prove a point. Either way come on Villa.

[cdbearsfan]

It's like he's trying to turn me against him. Even Lambert wasn't stupid enough to stick with five at the back every week when it clearly wasn't working.

[Villan82]

Underwhelmed. Please prove me wrong boys.

[Sexual Ealing]

I don't like that at all.

[Goldie.7]

Traore will be in the squad btw.

I really need to stop watching our bs press conferences. They are a complete waste of time.

[Ian.]

Oh bloody hell, five at the back again? What we playing at.

[DrGonzo]

also sanson...would like to see some more of this please

[Brazilian Villain]

Underwhelmed. Please prove me wrong boys.

Bit underwhelmed too but glad Bailey isn't starting. If it's not going to plan take off Watkins or Ings off and put Leon on.

[PaulWinch again]

Back 5 - groan. Oh well come on Villa.
