Grealish playing his last game at Villa park. Utd or Sp**s for him now.

he’s well suited to those c u n ts

The Brummie accent is horrendous btw.

More disappointed in the performance rather than the result. So uninspiring and highlights the flaws in the squad.

We have no one who can create something out of nothing. As great a goalscorer Auba is, he still needs service to be effective.

This is how we've been preforming since the break against teams that allow us to have the ball and are combat defensively. It's why we struggled against Brighton, Sp**s and now Villa. It's always why we played decent against Wolves, Leicester, Liverpool and City. In Arteta's quest to sure up the defence we've become team that wants to sit back and defended and then break. We're lost when we're asked to dictate play.

It's honestly a serious worry. Even if for arguments sake we could consistently replicate those performances against Liverpool and City (we can't, lool not in a million years), game like that come along a handful of times a season. Our bread and butter is against team that sit back and defend, and if we play like we have since the season restarted then we're not going to be picking up many points.

Why didn`t we get John McGinn when we had the chance in 2018?

Would have been a excellent player for us.

Pepe was just the reason why we scored two goals against City

But he needs space in front of him, somebody who is playing passes into dangerous areas.

we look so static in possession. we could point out every player today.

I wouldn't have it at arsenal, I prefer a player who can dribble, pass the ball and knows how to play in short spaces. We wasted a lot in him.

 

[AberGooner]

Defence has obviously been poor but biggest problem all season is having absolutely no creativity in midfield

How is Arteta supposed to coach with a plane flying overhead? @Makingtrax

It's not just in the sky though, it's buzzing around in his car, his kitchen, his bedroom... that's what the planes do.

 

[junglist57]

As a North London boy I feel we’ve done an injustice to Watford this evening. Sorry pals...

 

[Manberg]

Boll*x. I suggest you check how many times Wenger beat Villa.

 

[GDeep™]

I'm just happy he's insulting a white footballer, for a change.

Grealish is half Asian

Think people are a bit overreacting here.
Yes, it was a depressing performance, but most teams, including the top teams, won't have a pretty and easy match in 9/10 cases there.

Survival games are never easy and often not great on the eye. They sit back with all their men.

Wise up. Villa are brutal.

 

[Hunta]

Villa manager just said they knew this game would be easier than their last few.

‘Easy Arsenal’ he said.

 

[Shalmaneser V]

Please look where both clubs are in the table

 

[roz]

This result has been coming lets be honest.

We were awful v Sp**s, incredibly lucky v Liverpool and ground out a win against a surprisingly tame City.

Throw in team rotation due to the amount of games as well as Watford getting thumped, Possibly giving Villa extra incentive and Its not much of a surprise really

In all seriousness though it just ain't that deep, it doesn't materially change anything. FA Cup was the priority before the game, now even more so. League was dead a long time ago for us.

As for performance, well the players were knackered after City, so there's that. And we don't have any creativity, that's gonna be a problem when the opposition sits backs and gives you the ball.

We're a bit like sp*rs at the moment, we're better when we're sitting back than when we have to take the initiative.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Our fans complain that the players think they can just turn up but our fans are the biggest offenders of it....
This season has been tragic bar Saturday. We’re 10th in the table, finishing with no more that 56 (!!!) points. How can our fans say we should be beating anyone with confidence

 

[yorch44]

If I wanted to snipe that shyster, I'd wait for him outside his house in Highgate--I wouldn't go to Birmingham ffs. I'd level him with a short elbow to the bridge of his nose too, no guns needed.

Here in Mexico, we do that to people like you, guys who talks a lot of shiiiit but they poop his pants when being challenged in real life.
