Arsenal 3 Villa 1 post match thread

[martin o`who??]

Taped it and followed it on the app - just "Chance for Arsenal" on repeat. It read like a complete shit show so no way am I watching that this morning.
Really looking forward to West Ham - not.

[The Edge]

Last night was an incoherent shit show. We've had the voodoo over Arsenal for the last two seasons but it vanished in the first ten minutes. We've lost Grealish and John Terry and it has weakened the whole set up drastically. The owners have invested heavily but we are slowly going backwards. Something has to change quickly. They have spent upwards of £200 million and we look no better than a mid table team at best right now.

[MillerBall]

We have  now conceded 3 goals on 4 occasions this season and could easily have shipped in more goals at Spurs; the defence looks very vulnerable to put it politely.
I was tempted to say that there is a danger of over reacting to these performances and of "throwing the baby out with the bath water" but the plumbing is that leaky  that there is little chance of the bath even filling up at the moment.
We fo look very "unprepared" to say the least .

Arse fans booing Martinez were beyond pathetic.

No. We would do the same. Martinez has been critical of Arsenal and let's face he will be off as soon as a big Champions League club comes for him.

We were meant to have mega rich owners and this sort of thing was meant to stop.

If we'd sold one of the best keepers in the world for £20m to replace him for £30m with a pub player who looks like he's coming down off Spice, then I'd be booing.

I thought Mings was a bit lucky that Lacazette didn't make more out of that elbow early on too, gave him a nice clip.

Not in the slightest, Mings had his arms up before Lacazette got off the ground, the little twat jumped into his arm and then threw himself over like he'd been snipered. Bought the penalty as well, the one thing I agree with Smith on from the post match was that the penalty was soft and the whistle should've gone as soon as it was saved (given it was awarded after the ref had blown for halftime). going in 1-0 down would've massively flattered us but it was a very cheap goal.

All of the schoolboy football magazines, in any quiz about the rules, mention the thing about penalties being taken after the half / full time whistle has blown so that is a schoolboy error by the referee. But I hadn’t thought about it.

We were poor last night  I was there to witness it we really need to buck our ideas up.

[Meanwood Villa]

We were all moaning about the international break but it was preferable to watching us the last two weeks!

[cdbearsfan]

I actually enjoyed the international break. Watching Scotland is normally even worse than watching Villa.

I hate the international break. I hate that we have to wait until next Sunday to put it right. I hate half time when we're losing. We should play West Ham this afternoon and only get a break if we win.

[Flin5tone]

Absolutely Shambolic and as soon as I seen the starting 11 with that formation I knew what was coming.

Could not string a pass together,  sloppy play, losing the ball easily.  They all looked frustrated and in a panic. Arguments between players, hands in the air. Not a good look at all.

With the money we have spent and the players at our disposal this is simply unacceptable

[Brazilian Villain]

I agree with Flin5tone, either he needs to up his game or Villa do.

[Nunkin1965]

The absolute worst thing is we've got to wait an age before we can see the team play again.
I, just like the Villa ( because the stats don't lie) hate Friday night football with a passion.

[sid1964]

The goal from the corner - why was 5 foot 10 inches McGinn marking their centre half?

For me too many of our players know that however badly they play they will never be dropped - Mings, being a prime example

We need to win next week or their will be massive pressure on The board to make a decision on smith’s future
