Arsenal vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Drummond]

A win would be a great result. a defeat wouldn't be the end of the world, a draw more than good enough.

[Demitri_C]

A point would be excellent  i would be happy with that havertz.

Set pieces is obviously  a issue as they score a lot of goals. We need mings and onana on form here

[PaulWinch again]

I suspect they’ll win, but a draw would be an excellent result.

[Nii Lamptey]

They're not as good as last season. We're improving. Nothing less than a Villa win here..... again!

[VillaTim]

The whole team will need to be on it and no doubt it will be us v them and the officials and VAR.

----------Martinez----------
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
-- onana --- Kamara -----
Rogers - Tielemans- Ramsey
-------- Watkins -----------

[Somniloquism]

Something like that to hold them, then hit them in the second half with Malen.

Id go with this team again, but Maatsen on mid point in the second half, if we are still level.
We’ve struggled against the big guns away this season, battered really by Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool. Time for a win, 0-1, Ollie Watkins du du du du

[Hookeysmith]

I actually fancy us to get a result there.
We owe them for the game at VP and Ollie owes us a goal for his 2 costly misses in that game

[Drummond]

Watkins owes us nothing.

[Martyn Smith]

I fancy a tetchy 0-0 here with lots of complaining from the home side

Got to be worth £10 on the win with a £5 draw saver

[PaulWinch again]

Watkins owes us nothing.

Indeed

[Nev]

Nice of the Guardian to try and sell our forwards to Woolwich. Appalling, disrespectful and pathetic.

They make suitable bedfellows.

[London Villan]

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Bailey, Maasten and Duran in the starting 11.

Talking like this match is a shop window for them. Arseholes.

[Demitri_C]

Watkins owes us nothing.

He doesn't  your right, but the club owes him nothing either for example if he goes on a terrible run of form and does not score. He shouldnt be starting.

Not that i expect to happen. I think now he will go on a run of goals. You could see how much that goal meant to him vs Everton
