Villa at home Sunday 13:30 Korean BBQ

We were waiting for a difficult save from Ospina - I'm not sure how much he meant to just get half forward but the reactions after that were quicker than it first looked. From the replay, it wasn't straight at him.

People are waiting for a howler to come from him too but it doesn't look like happening anytime soon.

We should be 2-0 up and really it was just a poor lino decision what prevented that.

47% possesion

Good half by Ospina, Coquelin and our fullbacks.

Definitely need a second goal before they bring on Agbonlahor and Sinclair.

Walcott's looking rusty, think we would have been better of leaving Ozil on the left as we seem to be using that side more for build up play.

Qwiss

Ospina hasn't been tested but I wonder how much of an effect he's havng on the back 4. It's hard to tell because Kos is back and fit and Coq is helping but we look solid with him in there.

Oh man, so unclinical, this team.

Ospina looks steady, predictable and calm, that's bound to reassure the players in front of him.

Burnwinter

Agreed—let's not create a fairytale about Szczesny being a skittish keeper though, he's generally been very assured. He came off his line with bad judgement a few times and now he's being challenged by Wenger, that's about the size of it.

We should be 2-0 up and maybe as much as three. Wasted dominance. Walcott is NOT the guy to play wide forward on this team. His lack of link-up play means that too many plays just break down. We need someone who can play in Ozil, Cazorla and Giroud when he gets on the ball. But we've known this for years.

dreamlord

Yep, if Ox is fit I'd start him against Tottenham, not Theo.

Burnwinter

This is nuts. The reviews he's getting here, Walcott's practically a lock to score one in the second half now.

People have forgotten his game—he drifts out of things but he's very efficient.

ChiliPalmer

Great angle of Özil's assist:

Beautiful.

This, Walcott isn't in the team for his link up play - his contributions in the final third make him valuable.

Plus - he's not play football in 12 months, what is wrong with some of you?

Think Ospina has been very good coming out claiming corners and crosses.

My issue with Walcott has always been simple. He's always a threat to get on the end of a ball and score a goal as he did last week. But for the rest of the game he is breaking down plays that should be creating even more chances for us. Next week, Sanchez comes back in for Walcott. The rest are poifect!

Rex

Walcott looks a bit rusty, as expected, but he needs these games to get up to speed. Still think he'll score a goal or two in the second.

USArsenal

and to start the half, we allow benteke to get a shot...

Coombs

Walcott almost costing us there. Was just going to say that I don't think this is actually "Walcott's game" that we've all forgotten. It sounds lame, but he does seem to be playing within himself after so long out.

Segway

Carlos Sanchez has been good for Villa. Has taken the ball of Ramsey and Santi too many times.

He's contributing with nothing really.
