Arsenal vs Aston Villa match thread

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

It's the Collymore conundrum again, fixing something that wasn't broke and breaking it.

[Big Ming]

Where's Grealish when you need him?

[Risso]

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.

You’re right Paul, he’s not shit, but it’s clear to a blind man that central midfield is not the position for him. Smith is an absolute clown.

Watkins and Tuanzebe for the hook or Smith can do one

We needed another striker, but we didn’t need to insist on 5 at the back to accommodate him.

[Legion]

Ings OR Watkins, not both.

Bruce seen pulling into the Belfry car park.

It's so obvious that they are doing us out wide and have two against one.  We need to go 451 to stem the flow.  What are Smith and shakespeare possibly debating? We have been awful. Buendia is trash.  Luiz is nowhere near close enough in midfield.

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Nobody is enjoying this, not the fans, not the players. What’s the point.

[PhilVill]

If he values his job, he'll adjust the formation at half time. I get the feeling the owners won't tolerate this woeful play and lack of tactical nous for long this season.

[Risso]

Tuanzebe is wank.

[Forge10]

Reminds me of our  Premiership relegation season while that ex Arsenal bloke was in charge.

[Bad English]

This is the end.

[brontebilly]

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.

True, he has been useless. McGinn too, has sold Luiz down the river. Buendia, Mings, Targett, Cash...pick the worst!

[BC Villain]

These are the sorts of performances that Bruce got panned for
