Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

They are still coming at us. There should be space for us to counter.

Alan Smith being a prime bell end.....

Hoping we start the second half well when we come out.

[Smithy]

Two centre backs in different time zones there too

I don't really blame them, we lost it so early they were both marking players level with our back four - he ran past Youri too easily.

O well it could not go on for ever

Martinez looks as frightened as a Bluenose on bath night every corner.

Garcia and Malen getting ready

[TonyD]

I would take Martinez off. 

[Crown Hill]

Annoying that Onana went off and annoying the way we have defended.

[SaddVillan]

These corner goals are becoming a real problem.

It's become noticeable in recent weeks that teams are targeting Martinez off corners.  He gets involved in nonsense pushing and pulling and looking for fouls than actually concentrating on the ball.

Teams know how to 'distract' him at corners.
6'5" and he looks like he's 5'9"

Might as well just bloody go for it now. What’s the worst that can happen?

[Proposition Joe]

Alan Smith being a prime bell end.....

He's booked a room with Martin Keown tonight no doubt.

This is all about the injury to Onana
