Aston Villa vs Arsenal, Villa Park Saturday 9 December 17:30 GMT

We had the chances to win. Ode wasted too many shots and passes. Zinchenko fucked us for the goal too. We had them

Meatwad

Coombs
that's the only issue. the ref was not an issue.

lorddulaarsenal

Positives are we were the better team despite losing. Played good stuff until the final third.

We need an injection of attacking quality in January

JazzG

We had more than enough chances to score and even win this game, end of the day if you don’t actually use those chances then you deserve what you get. Ødegaard really should be doing better as well.

Ref was also fucking useless as usual.

Think on every metric we were better than them except for the one that counts!

naz

Put that ref aside, we should be beating these idiots if we are contenders

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

GooneriC there's no all over again when we've barely touched the attack in years and years. It's pathetic actually.

Saka and Martinelli are not yet elite if they ever even will be. Jesus doesn't score and can be a time wasting little bitch.

We need to get a worldie of a wide forward in January as well as a full back. Or season over, again.

Don Pacifico

Coombs I'm just saying, it depends what the priorities are this summer. The notion we solve all our issues in one window is nonsensical and you can't argue that the squad has demonstrably improved the last two seasons.

lorddulaarsenal

DiabyKungFu I feel that too. We feel more solid and it’s natural we and every team will lose matches throughout the season. We rarely get outplayed out battered on occasions these days.

We’ll go on a run now I think

JazzG

Just seen the disallowed goal again and it looked like it hit the Villa players hand first!

DiabyKungFu

JazzG Just seen the disallowed goal again and it looked like it hit the Villa players hand first!

All of the handballs were accidental. It got ruled off because the goalscorer can't accidentally handle the ball. Anyone else can. Kinda weird rule but it was judged correctly here.

awooga83

JazzG was posted above but accidental In the box by defender isn't usually given but forward where there is a goal does get penalised.

JazzG

DiabyKungFu That’s a shocking rule if true.

JazzG

awooga83 Only given if against Arsenal, like at Chelsea!

GooneriC

Definitely hit Cash's hand first , but they'll never give a penalty for that , so for the second action they'll say the Havertz handball contributed to the goal so it won't be allowed. They'll do all they can to fuck us over though , expect more garbage refereeing this season

Clrnc

I'm so so annoyed Villa made it easy to play against us and we didn't capitalise their high line. So fuckng annoyed. We didn't go vertical enough.

awooga83

Clrnc I think my annoyance is this isn't just a one game thing our attack is not functioning well, whether it's because of a deliberate control ball strategy or at just don't do anything we are supposed to. Horseshoe attack is far too predictable and ineffective and we are so slow in attack.

goon

You guys are jokers. All the pre-match talk is about how this is going to be a really though game, hardly a single prediction had us winning. As it is we did more than enough to draw and probably win the game and did infinitely better than City. And the conclusion is we have problems, certainly players were a ‘disgrace’ and need an overhaul…

awooga83

goon there was also lots of well we've got the heads up on how they play a team like us and an extra days rest. It's all well and good "doing better" then city but ultimately if the result of the same is pretty worthless thing to hold up as a positive.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

DiabyKungFu after the second half we just played? It was a disaster.

Gazza M

Rohit so many times there was a simple pass on between the lines, and the players were too scared or too drilled to pick it out. and on the occasion they did pick the pass, the receiver- ode being the main offender - was super passive, took a poor touch or picked the wrong ball. just a god awful display of attacking football, which felt like a few chickens coming to roost after we've gotten away with it for so long this season

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Simply wasn’t mean to be today

DiabyKungFu

The real egregious call was not giving the penalty for Luiz's kick on Jesus. I don't understand the justification for that at all.

JazzG

DiabyKungFu

I mean what do you even say at this point
