Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

[AlexAlexCropley]

Special mention for Andy Townsend.The most biased,Arsenal-cheering "pundit" I've ever heard. Wouldn't believe he was once a Villa captain.

Rogers seems well up for this. He always seems to raise his game against this lot.

Watkins played that first half like he's never played football before

I'll take that as either sarky or trolling.
He's won a lot of ball off the Arse CB and linked play well. He maybe should have scored but I think he's saving that for the second half.

Back row of the North, we scored and nobody moved either side of me or in front. Tossers.

What, surrounded by Gooners? Or Villa tourists?

Arse at the end of the half looking a bit tired already and some clueless. Good half from us. Question is should we defend a lead or go for one more. Ecpecting and even and nervewrecking second half.

We need another as their bench has a lot of firepower. We can get one mind as they have basically a 2nd string defence.

I'm guessing Gyokores will play up against Torres.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Makes sense for them to get Eze off, it definitely wasn't working for him on the left.

Well we need Onana to do the same as per City and help out

[SamTheMouse]

Feels like this half isn't going to be as enjoyable.

Bruce isn't surprised Arsenal made changes at HT. I'm surprised he knows that's possible.
