Fucking cheats vs Aston Villa post match thread - we won the 2nd half 1-0

[steamer]

7 in two games I think we need to tighten up at the back

[TonyD]

Saw the pen again.  Not a pen

[brontebilly]

Next week I'd like to see:

Martinez

Cash
Konsa
Mings
Digne

Kamara
Luiz

McGinn
Coutinho

Watkins
Duran

Young done nothing wrong, but I like Cash and think we need to keep hold of him considering respective ages.

Bailey, Buendia and Ramsey not doing enough right now.

Digne is finished with us I think. We simply have to switch to 4231. No matter if it's Coutinho or Buendia on our left the opposition will have a field day in Emery's formation.

[Goldenballs]

I'd start Duran and McGinn next week, Coutinho to stay on the bench for now, need Emi's energy.

He might have energy and that's about it today, Phil did more in the few minutes he was on the pitch.

Yep Coutinho looked a lot more effective. Really sharp.

He did, but they were in third gear by then. Arsenal will come out flying and I worry he'd be a passenger.

You absolute cheating ****** Grealish

Aye, but he generally got fouled when he was hitting the deck for us. This is Klinsmann-esque.

Agreed and I don't want to be Captain Apologist, but we did just play *one of the best Premier League teams in history...when they have been put on one by external events, without our main centre half.

Leicester was shit.

*Asterisk added as squad assembled via cheating

[SoccerHQ]

Replaced Man. United as my least favourite away game of the season these days.

Last picked up some league points there in April.....2007.

Basics but you can't just let in a goal after 5 minutes, we missed Mings there as a presence.

Easier to play at 3-0 down and game over but at least the subs showed something so a few of them really need to be starting v Arsenal otherwise it will be a repeat showing.

[AlexAlexCropley]

It's a shame we didn't get a second , we were on top then and I would have fancied us to get a draw. Still, 2-1 ain't bad (I don't count their pen)

Getting fed up with having to see Haaland’s face on telly. Honestly he must be the ugliest man on earth, ****** looks like a cross between a gorilla and a kangaroo.

Yeah, I get that with Digne. Him or Moreno is the one I had to pause on.

Wouldn't change the formation yet personally. Bad couple of games, but was working before.

[Paul.S]

Terrible first half, full of mistakes but that’s where we are as a squad. Some lack belief and some,
quality and they won’t be here next season.
Hopefully Emery gets the backing in the summer because he will get it right I’m sure of it.

I'd start Duran and McGinn next week, Coutinho to stay on the bench for now, need Emi's energy.

He might have energy and that's about it today, Phil did more in the few minutes he was on the pitch.

Coutinho is best used as a game changing sub in injury time.

[Stu]

Emery is being given the opportunity to mould the club how he feels it should operate from the ground up. This will take a long time, and it’s not like we have been competitive towards the top end of league before he turned up. The club needed to do something like this after they potted Deano, but here we are. If we’re not challenging for Europe in a couple of seasons then it hasn’t worked out.

[London Villan]

Wouldnt it be funny if they get all their honours written off, poor jack.
