To be fair 4 villa goals today came from deflectionaCan't believe this. Just tuned in.
Wish we weren't so scared last Monday.

I agree we lack the physicality in the middle of the field. As i said we transition too slowly and the opposition always has time to set themselves up defensively. However I refuse to believe that Villa is braver than we are and that is what bothers me with Arteta's set up.It comes down to the physical duels and aerial duels to win the ball in the right areas so that you can then release the ball. We failed that. Weren’t strong enough, and perhaps as Xhaka said it, scared.
@Notorious Big still think Liverpool won't drop off this year?
Willian is as good or better than grealish though he doesn't have the legs for it anymore,in any case Arteta plays him wide. However you are right we are very deficient in midfield. We need to improve significantly there.Agree. Now name one player who started gor us with the raw pace and power of Barkley or the talent and tools of Grealish. Add that the formation we play has to cover the deficiencies of a CB and CM and we've little chance with this group of players.
They will. We'll play the same cowardly football we played against Liverpool, given than the chance to set-up shop around our 18 and batter us non-stop while people on here go: "we are so solid"Lets pray City don't do us in...
