Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

Terrible free kick. We're pretty awful at them as it is.

Especially after the rigmarole after the Forest/Liverpool match, I thought that would be fresh in the refs minds on who has the ball after stoppages.

Really good half by us.Impressed

Fuck me, we are still in it !

[Drummond]

God we look shit don't we. Watkins missing, Martinez only getting a foot to that save instead of catching it. Shit passing. And how many goals are we conceding?

It dropped onto Konsa's toe!

[Risso]

Decent half. Few twitchy arse moments but mostly sound.

Anyone happy that the game is ‘titillatingly tantalised?’

[villadelph]

Great first half - we’re setup well and can get something from this. Hopefully we see Leon.

Yeah me too, we've done well to stay in it and had a few halfish moments.

Wrong FK. I'm about 2 minutes behind because I'm watching on Now TV.

Thus far much better than I expected. Could have scored and Emi pulled off a great save. Need to protect our left flank better - White and Saka getting too much joy.

[SoccerHQ]

Really enjoyed that.

They'll be games in the run in where we just have to battle and scrap and work very very hard. Today is one of them.

Can't fault them. The problem will be around the 70th minute mark when our intensity drops and that's when both benches come into play and we haven't got too much compared to them.

[taylorsworkrate]

Defended well and Arsenal have been very wasteful at times.

We did ok for most of the first half at Man City and it fell apart so hopefully there will be an improvement on that 2nd half

Come on mate there is no need for this sarcastic post. I think people are being complimentary on that half.

I am proud of them that half. Just hope we can keep it up 2nd half
