PL: Aston Villa vs Arsenal | Saturday 6th February | KO: 12:30 UTC | BT Sport

[Anders Harbo]

Yet another season wasted. We are so far away from top 4 it’s unbelieveable. Only one light in the dark: Saka
I would have never guessed, that our club would sink this deep into mediocrity.

 

[baccy_man]

We have got the same problems that we have had for the last couple of seasons we are too slow to play the ball out from the back and then we pass the ball backwards far too much,
To make matters worse we have got players that don't complete their passes properly they are either not played firm enough or they are played in the wrong area for the receiving player to get the ball,
Then when we get in the opponents half of the pitch we have no idea what to do with the ball so we start passing again until we lose the ball,
Not many of the players want to take a shot on goal.

Is he seriously Martinez fouling Lacazette made Lacazette foul Martinez?

When you're chasing a game, to bring on Willian when you have Martinelli on the bench should be a sackable offence.

Yes i didn't get this sub did make us very unbalanced after we were all over Aston villa. Should have got Ceballos on and get the shape

Yeah that was a PK for me but I didn't think for a second we'd get it. He's just dragging Laca down.

It’s not about one player. Martinelli wouldn’t have changed anything today, the way we played. It’s about the shape and balance of the team, which was completely absent today.

No emi was pulling laca shirt towards him laca was blocking emi going to the ball but it's penalty bt pundits did said should be penalty

Can’t see the point of looking at individual refereeing decisions, you’re just nitpicking instead of seeing the bigger picture . . . we’re still really poor in transition. We’re allowing their defence to get back in shape far too often. They on the other hand were fast and taking our defenders on, creating mayhem. We could have lost this by more than 1 goal.

You know you're in trouble when you're begging for penalties and red cards instead of talking about the chances you've created (or in this case the lack of them). The reality is, we've now facing better opposition and struggling massively like we were prior to Christmas. The same problems arose again, we go 1-0 down and we can't do anything. Lack of movement, lack of ideas, lack of urgency about our passing and just way too predictable. People used to say Wenger couldn't coach a defence (remarkable then he achieved what he did considering such claims), maybe we just have to accept Arteta cannot coach an attack?

"Completely dominated" when Ryan was the far, far busier goalkeeper?? Okay then

It's an example, the camel that breaks the straw's back. Actually he might or might not but what is certain is that Willian changed nothing and has offered nothing all season.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Everything he said is right it wasn't bad performances but you don't hit the target that what will happen

He means dominated possession. Pointless possession, mind.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Emi, you’re a cheat, and I hope Villa get relegated!! *Ty voice*

Most of our shots were from impossible angles. All of Pepe's shots in fact. Saka had one great chance in the first half. I think we had one in the second. Martinez was very possible bored.

I'm not sure what's the definition of a good performance is anymore.

We had possession, did nothing with it, lost the ball and opened ourselves up to an effective counter.

Teams let us have possession because they know they can.

Dominated possession and still allowed Villa to have more chances than us. Fantastic

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The Wolves 1st half was dominant performance today was all possession but wrong decisions in final 3rd we were going to villa box so easily just final 3rd pass was absolutely poverty we saw that many times this season. Anyway that won't be fixed until the players be ruthless 14 shots but only 3 on target one was set piece the other was very weak shot from bellerin on target is poverty specially against good keeper when villa only 12 shot but 8 on target. That what frustrate me our players just can't hit the target

We were the better team yes we only created less. Chances doenst make you the better team for me.
