You can tell Watkins is desperate - wonder if the media influences him more than it should. He know they'll all be spaffing over Solanke's pen exactly like the Toney Pen.

Im not complaining as he's outperformed our expectations this season but Digne has low-key had a stinker today (along with Cash).

I think we all underestimate our own team. It’s easy to do since it’s actually pretty incomprehensible how far we have progressed as a team in only 3-4 years. Many of us went into today in damage limitation mode - and I am optimistic in nature - but it’s drilled into us through experience as a Villa fan. Something we need to remember is we have ACTUAL winners in our team now. The likes of Emi, Torres, Carlos, Tielemans etc. didn’t join/stay with us for a jolly. We also have hungry players at the top of their game in most positions.

They were fantastic. Totally derailed what that to55er wanted out of that interview.

I know it shouldn’t annoy me. even the post game interview. They were DESPERATE for Olly and Emi to blow smoke up Arsenal. Not a single mention of 4th, nor Europe etc. just wanted a quote about how they both love Arsenal. Luckily it didn’t work at all as our two were brilliant.

Classic Sky coverage today ’so how can Villa cause Arsenal damage today Merse’ ’uuuhh not really, Arsenal can only cause damage to themselves today’ Oh I do loathe UK coverage. I’ve muted more games than not this season.

Didn’t see this one coming. Arsenal Bayern is just massive.

Sort it out Liverpool!

Tight Hamstring. Fingers crossed nothing too bad.
-
Hopefully just over precautious. He wasn’t in the game too much and maybe carrying something minor - saving him for City

I suppose at some point we have to accept, unless we magically are allowed Man City levels of spend, we can’t have everything. the tall clogger approach is working for West Ham but you need to go balls out for that approach. Our game is based around very quick buildup, an high back line, overlapping fast full back and exploiting the turnover. That doesn’t work with bulky, super physical players. The best we’ll get is the Morgan, Mings mould rotating into the XI who are super athletic but wouldn’t stand out in a West Ham type team. id we had Carlos available yesterday we’d have won a higher % duels but not to the point of a total blockout.

Just plain and simple lack of height IMO.

Strange game. Subs and tactical tweak with the second double sub made a massive difference. On the balance I genuinely think we were the stronger team and deserved to win - against a good (albeit negative) West Ham team. I have NO IDEA why West Ham and the commentators (Optus) were crying over that late disallowed goal. It was really obvious handball, also offside, also fouls in there. The female commentator in particular was willing on West Ham all game I had to mute her first half. Id have taken a point before the game so i’ll take that. With two of McGinn, Kamara, Ramsey, Costa, Buendia and Mings we’d have won that comfortably.

IMO….get him off. Even if he looks like he can run it off. We’ve been here before and he won’t be as committed as pre-knock. Keep him wrapped up for WHU.

Picking up on some folks comments re: how we started second half, I think more credit needs to go to Luton too. It is a game of two teams after all and IMO Rob Edwards is doing a fantastic job. Luton haven’t fallen into the trap of the promoted ‘10 in your own half’ approach and have a clear, physical, style, which I’m fine with. I’ll take a fortunate win today and it was truly a case of our squad depth and quality paying dividends today for a change. First half everything clicked, they seemed ticked by their injury. Second half we we were slow to adapt to their changes until the 4 subs. Watkins was superb today.
