Top performance 1st half was even better than Sp**s imho.
Intensity & pressing was insane not surprised that we couldnt keep it up for the full game.
The most Pleasing thing was we moved the ball well & did everything at a higher tempo.
Good performance by everyone today.
Some of the final decisions/ passes were still not quite on point but that is to be expected especially from young players.
It has to be said Villa were very Poor 1st half but we have to take credit for completely dominating them. If we had gone in 3 or 4 up it wouldnt have flattered,
Laca was very good and it just goes to show the value of a striker who can hold the ball & play.
A combination of Laca/Auba would be the perfect 9 for us.

We clearly are a better side playing on the front foot! Forget sitting back and "suffering". Up front is where the real quality is. Plus think our back 5 is good enough to fend for themselves without us needing to sit back and protect them.

We created good chances first half at 0-0 and dominated from first minute. I hate Arteta as much as anyone. But he battered villa

We had zero shots on target before the goal. The only really sharp chance we created before we scored was Partey's effort in the bar but that was via a set piece and some lucky deflecting. The truth is that Martinez had nothing to do before the goal. What i remember is some efforts over the goal, a couple of blocked shots and that effort in the bar.

We should be trying to emulate Liverpool and City by being more ruthless. Keep teams pinned in their own half for the majority of the match and try to score as many goals as possible.

Thats not what we do, mate. Villa had more shots and more possession in the second half because thats the Arteta way.
My thoughts on the game if anyone interested.
Arteta’s Masterful Tactical Change Brings Confidence out of Young Stars - The Voice Of Arsenal
Friday night football at the Emirates and what an occasion it was! How good does it feel going into the weekend with 3 points in the bag and ready to enjoy football, life, friends and family from here on out. So many layers to the game, and performances to be ecstatic about both in the

This and the Sp**s performances were comprehensive. It clearly shows that there is a way for Arsenal to play - with the players we already have at this club - that makes it hard for teams to handle us. I’m not saying we can be a top team right now but these two performances show that we should be much further along than we are.
The frustrating thing is that it seems the manager doesn’t seem to want to lay down this blueprint and instead seems more often than not to set up his team to play safe.

We had a very simple setup today. Sambi stayed in the middle next to Partey and didn't drift to the left and Tavares starting position when we had the ball was always as a left back. He was starting his run late and not already camped ahead of the ball with his back to goal. Both Auba and Laca were pretty central too.
This was almost an old school 442 with Laca putting in one hell of a shift.

Well the only difference between a classic 4-4-2 and the 4-2-3-1 is the behaviour of the 2nd striker/number 10. With Laca in that role we can easily switch between the two.

I'd argue that the starting formation actually means nothing, and its more about the type of players we have on the pitch.
If we started Ødegaard, Smith Rowe and Saka in midfield, we could line them up in a 442, 4231, 433, 451 formation but there would likely be zero in midfield during the match, as these player's natural game involves pushing up.

Naw, pretty confident Leno's taken it up the sh*tter at least once or twice.

Gabriel - Beast, continuing his excellent form.
Ramsdale- Solid as always
ESR - Very Good
Basically our three best players this season continuing to be our best players.
Tavares was also very impressive.

Unfortunately I think we might be a better side without Tierney unbalancing us.
