Yank McGinn.  Tielemans further forward with Kamara and Barkley in midfield.

Kamara?

[JUAN PABLO]

Tilemans has now miss.ed 4 of his last 6 penalties. You have to wonder why he is taking them.

soon as I saw the TV screen with the youri red missed balls and he didnt look confindent , you knew

[Mellin]

Harsh on Bogarde. One of our better players today for all that is worth. Understand why though.

Cash is on you can take that to the bank.

Serious questions need to be asked of Unai now. If we lose this they need to seriously consider if he's the man for us. Not really.

I wouldnt go that far just yet mate. We are in a rut but its clear to me the summer recruitment has been dog shit. I raised this in summer when i said we hadnt strengthened the first team at all esp after loaning enzo and illing jr that gives us more squad depth.

I really do not understand how they thought selling diaby and luiz and not replacing them, and not addressing right back  that we would do better or at least match last season.

You’ve been told time and time again - we were not allowed to spend much due PSR rules and FFP UEFA rules.

Stu, with respect did you read my post? Even with PSR we still could have bought in better players than the ones coming in. We downgraded with the players who replaced these players.

We spent 50m on onana 30m on maatsen thats 80m on two of those players.

Did we need maatsen ? That 30m could have been apent on a right back or a diaby replacement.  That has nothing to do with FFP

Palace are a big physical team and we're not up for the fight. Chalobah is a player I'd hoped we'd have gone for in the summer, great bit of business by Palace getting him in on loan.

[kippaxvilla2]

If only it was £30m on Maatsen.  It was £37m.

Nearly, C'mon Villa

Kamara?

Forgot he was injured

[Billy Walker]

If this was Gerrard he would’ve been getting pelters for this.  Next week is going to be a disaster.

Gerrard was demonstrably a shite manager and deserved those pelters. Unai Emery is demonstrably a top class manager trying to rebuild a squad (he has overachieving) whilst being hamstrung by FFP. 

It's frustrating but in the midst of this dip in form let's not become Arsenal fans. Look at the bigger picture and keep the faith.

[Demitri_C]

That was poor maats

[villadelph]

Good start

[Proposition Joe]

That was more like the Bailey of last season

[JUAN PABLO]

watkins hit it quicker
