Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

[ChicagoLion]

We had our chances, sadly Watkins reverted to type, you have to score when you have the chances in these games.

Yep, you need to take your chances when you're away to a team fighting for the title.  It was a bad miss, but he's not to blame for our capitulation in the second half.

He isn’t, started with Martinez but if it had happened at the other end it would not have been given.

[Chip Butty 111]

All due to Onana going off...

[rob_bridge]

Not good enough 2nd half they stepped up a gear and we couldn’t match it

[Hampshire Villa]

Just a shame it had to come to an end against these turds.

[Mellin]

We don't have the side on the pitch we need for this game. Simple as that.

[Smithy]

This is all about missing Onana and Kamara in midfield today.

Yep, this second half they've just walked through the middle.  God knows how bad it would have been if Rice had been playing.  Clearly the drop-off from our first choice midfield is significantly bigger than theirs.

[Rigadon]

Arsenal won’t win this league. 

[AlexAlexCropley]

Puzzled why we stopped the ball over the top which caused Arsenal problems first half

[markeeeebeeee2005]

I’ll take a draw.

[devilla]

Bollocks. They'll still bottle the title.

It's been a great run but I fear it ends tonight.

[ROBBO]

Onana's height sorely missed at corners.

[PeterWithesShin]

Hopefully we don't lose by more than 5.

Still hoping!

[JUAN PABLO]

still think it was offside

[SaddVillan]

Squad depth (lack of) being exposed.

Watch Arse, Spuds, C115ty, Liverpool and ManU spaff £30-£40m in January whilst we're struggling to find 10p for the meter.

[Toronto Villa]

Their strength overall and depth showing. They have their best CB pairing back that missed the game at Villa Park. We had numerous injuries and suspensions and it shows. But it’s only 3 points and we need to win the next one.
