Arsenal vs Aston Villa match thread

[LukeJames]

Anti Football at its finest. We are horrid to watch, hoofing it long, playing for the long throws. Everything we mock Pulis and Allardyce for.

[Proposition Joe]

What are they fcuking talking about?  Whether to have masala or madras?!

Madras hands down.

[Risso]

Would any other manager in the league have left the team and formation as it is, having witnessed this?

[andyh]

We aren’t even competing, and that the sickening thing

[kippaxvilla2]

I hope we don’t somehow equalise otherwise he won’t change it.

Whoever said Buendia was shit, spot on.

Total bollocks. Which of his non-existent teammates was he supposed to pass to?

Not shit but stuck deep in Parteys pocket because he's so easy to ease off the ball, he can't play in this role and it's making him look like a waste of money.

Everywhere that matters they have the extra man because we're just so badly setup. I like Smith and really want him to succeed with us but right now this feels a bit Bruce like in that he doesn't seem to know what he signed these players to do and is flailing around trying to find a way to fit them in.

Steve Bruce, I was about to say, but he's not a manager in this league any more.

[SamTheMouse]

I think the Ings signing is going to end up costing Dean his job.

[pauliewalnuts]

Fuck me, twenty seconds of possession here.

[SoccerHQ]

We’re get schooled here , bag of shit!!! What changes can we make ?

Sanson on for Tuanzebe. Bailey for Buendia.

Ollie's been abysmal and on a yellow, can see him getting frustrated and getting sent off so he'd get the hook for me.

[Bobby Boy]

I'm feeling enraged watching this.

What's the point fielding 2 strikers when we can't get them the ball because the midfield is completely overrun.

Smith is on very, very thin ice here with this.

[cdbearsfan]

Even the commentators are saying five at the back is shite.

Will you forgive me my lapse? I realise the error of my ways and will never endorse this godforsaken system again.

Go on then, seeing as it's you.

[Goldenballs]

Harsh comments on Buendia.

No one has played well at all.

Were the ropes, lets just hope we can hang on until halftime and pray that We change formation.

He's our record signing, he needs to find a bit of space, try and keep possession, draw a foul and give us a breather. He's done nothing, but yes everyone has been equally shite.

[ez]

Keep this up and we're in a relegation battle before long.

It’s got Collymore written all over it
