Arsenal -2 Aston Villa - 1 Post Match Rant Fest.

Why is Konsa playing instead of Chambers?

Because Steven Allme does not have a clue.

[Exeter 77]

Luiz did not overly celebrate when scoring
probably on his way

When is the transfer deadline?

11:00pm tomorrow I think.

Why is Konsa playing instead of Chambers?

You tell me and there are thousands of similar questions that need answering from this fraud.

Why is Konsa playing instead of Chambers?

He's a better player, much better I'd argue. Just stuck in a rut like most of them. Thought Konsa was a long way down our list of problems tonight.

[Bad English]

Why is Konsa playing instead of Chambers?

Gerrard is picking the team.

[Villa Lew]

The surprising thing is despite the huge gulf in class, we could have got something from the match, both of their goals were down to Martinez's fault, Cash also culpable for the 2nd goal. So frustrating, it's the third time already this season, we've conceded minutes after scoring.

As long as we are not hammered on Saturday, don't think Gerrard will be sacked, but if we don't at least get one win against Leicester or Southampton, then he will go. Of course it's possible, after West Ham, Purslow may now be looking for the next boss, we'll have to wait and see.

[Nii Lamptey]

Could be out on that pitch till the weekend and still not score a goal. Better effort tonight, but no ounce of attacking threat on Ramsdale’s goal.
Part of me is questioning whether to turn up on Saturday evening and have my weekend ruined by the Haaland show.

Get rid. It’s not going to change!!!

[Clampy]

That booking Konsa got in the second half was ridiclous. Woeful refereeing.

Thank you.

Tomorrow night I think. Difficult to know if they’ll trust him with any more money. I mean we really need players but god knows who he’s after.

Strongly disagree sorry. I don’t think Chambers has let us down when he’s played.

Gerrard is getting an incredibly easy ride by ex-players. Dublin and James Collins basically defending him on the basis that he's young and is gonna make a great manager. No worries, then!

Keown, and Chris Sutton, were very critical of our tactics. But the team organisation is just so poor. Spaces everywhere...full back to centre back, the defensive line, Kamara to the other two midfielders, front 3 and midfield. Watkins and the two narrow forwards. No wonder we can't keep the ball, there's no cohesion at all with and without the ball.

Martinez 3 - at fault for two goals and hiding on line again.
Cash 5 - average defender at this level and regressing going forward. Awful defending for their winner
Konsa 6 - bullied by Jesus for that yellow but was decent in the main
Mings 6 - solid enough for me
Digne 4 - rubbish defender and a terrible signing. Bullied by Saka. Mugged off buying him
Kamara 6 - battled hard I thought but the midfield unit sunk
Ramsey 6 - probably a 3 in first half, unable to track runners and their first came from that but much better second half
McGinn 5 - tried hard first half but anonymous second bar his yellow
Buendia 4 - shite, kept giving ball away
Watkins 6 - same as Ramsey, vastly improved second half
Bailey 6 - some really smart touches at times but needs to do a lot more

Coutinho was ok when he came in on the left, Luiz scored a corner and trotted around avoiding tackles

I don’t care how bad we are, Sutton is poison, the Farage of football.

I watched the 1st half with Italian commentary as a  novel idea i made a note on moments
my notes show , 15 mins Mings hesitated, Arsenal guy beat him could have been a goal
24 mins Mings hoofed out for no reason
Goal Konsa/Martinez gifted it
39 mins Mings and Martinez fucked up again
Second half found English commentary , stopped making notes
An overall 5 for me for most, I think the 6 for Mings was generous.

I was expecting worse, result wise. So I’m calling it a positive.
But the performance was typical SG. Shite.
On another day they would have been out of sight by 4 goals at half time.
Second half I thought a decent manager would have us competing with these.
It’s not the lack of quality in the players, it’s the manager.
19th in the league, and MCity up next.
We won’t win another game under SG.
