Great half, we've sprung them down the middle loads of times. Onana has had a magnificent half, destroying, nicking ball, and surging forward runs!

I don't know what anyone else thinks but we're proving were in the title race with that performance so far.

In today’s market with quite average players going for £50M, Onana starting to look a very good deal for us.

Very good first-half, controlling the game well.

The ref is giving them pretty much everything too.

Now go on and win it in the 80th minute :)

More about manager tactics than the teams, Villa, measured, deliberate but with chances, Arsenal control of the midfield but not overloading the attack as Chelsea did, think we are going to see a very different 2nd half.

Ref is giving them everything.
What a bunch of whingeing wankers. Expect more histrionics from the poor little hard done to twats.
Thought the ref had been good for us. Our boys staying down to slow things up

Superb stuff.We were the calm,measured side.Arse the stressed,dirty one. Defo a winnable game here.As long as the ref stops trying to be a tv star.

Great first half. Nice to hear that the crowd are getting frustrated with us. A little bit more belief in and around the box and we’d be ahead.
