Lets be honest lads......Yesterday was more about Villas performance than ours. The quality on show from them was some of the best i've seen from any team at our ground, only comparable to City in the snow a few years ago. Could easily have been 5 or 6 if they actually played to 100%
7-2 against Liverpool was not a fluke. They obviously have an issue with performing consistently but i think they are going beat quite a few this season with this swash buckling style. Kane aside, who is actually playing better than Grealish who wears an England shirt? He's pretty much unplayable in this form, just pure athleticism and natural talent
Yes Laca is hopeless, and yes our creativity was poor...the fact we couldn't even control the game which is Arteta's speciality was pretty mad.
We have to hold our hands up and say we were completely outplayed by a much better team as crazy as it sounds
Give credit where credit is due

Villa did some good transfer business during the summer.
Couple of lads from the Championship.
A Chelsea reject.
Arsenal’s reserve keeper...

They played us off the park. If their first goal had stood and Grealish didn't have his shot cleared off the line by Ceballos, they would have won 5-0 and we wouldn't have been able to cry foul play about a single one of their goals. I was very impressed. Remind me somewhat of Brendan Rogers' Liverpool in 2013/2014.

Yeah they were excellent, and we were awfully toothless, even if we played much better it would have been hard to get a win yesterday as they were very effective at getting at our defence. Worrying just how little we troubled their defence though

They conceded 4 goals at home to Southampton and have been in poor form so I completely disagree with your narrative. Yes they were very good but we allowed them so much time and space , the high press and energy levels weren’t their from us. Even Arteta admitted that we were not at it from the first minute. I’m sorry but Villa do not beat us if everyone is on their game, it was a game we should have won or at least shouldn’t lose.. We were absolutely awful and to their credit Villa capitalised on it.

They played well, but even on a bad day we should atleast test their keeper.
They won because we were shiiit.

Arsenal respected Aston Villa too much because they beat Liverpool 7-2. Our players were backing off too much and you can't do that against a visitor team. The whole team have had a bad day, but if we lose against Leeds Arteta is going to be even under more pressure. Arsenal fans can accept losses against Man City and Liverpool away, but not Aston Villa and Leicester at home.
