VillaAlex Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 They do have a very talented squad and I agree Arteta had been lucky in the sense managers usually don't get this much patience. I guess that's what a cup win gets you but they are been so poor in the league since he took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 They are incorrect in everything they are claiming, never a pen and Konza was fouled by Saka. Just heard it said though that VAR bought in because the refs aint good enough and yet refs are operating VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I actually don’t think the Arsenal squad is as good as people think. A lot of their players abilities are elevated as they must be good as they play for Arsenal. I rate Saka and like Tierney, Cebellos and Martinelli but the rest are pretty average. Aubameyang is class but at the wrong side of his ability and the remaining strikers are inconsistent and overall meh! seriously, which of their current players would get into our current starting XI?? we have improved our squad whilst Arsenal have slipped into complacency and wistfully dreaming of days gone by when they were great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Not even sure what the penalty shout it, I had people round so may have missed it Tried to explain why in the konsa thread, line of the ball and how konsa steps across it before the contact is made I completely agree the saka one is a foul on konsa, despite us having one vs Sheffield utd earlier in the season he's also so far out that it's hard to call it a goal scoring opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate ceballos Gabriel seems to have lost his early season form, ESR will be great but it's early days for him, saka and Tierney are good players, partey I'm not sure on, martinelli again it's early for him but good player Saka on the RW is the only one I'd take if I'm honest, maybe 5 or 6 of theirs on the bench but starting 11 would be 10 villa 1 arsenal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 On the ref - forgot about the xhaka "tackle" That's a professional foul, not interested in the ball, took him out plain and simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is they didn't lose because of VAR. They lost because their team isn't that great and got beaten fair and square. They aren't the club they once were and they still haven't accepted it.

villa4europe Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I dont know too many details in to the costs but it's basically a postcode that they've redeveloped not just the stadium, I think the multi function stuff (there's only 8 nfl games for each team per season) and general facilities as part of the project are huge, it's also under the LAX flight path so they were restricted by height meaning that they dug way down to get it under the restrictions Add to that that it is a pretty smart place But yeah that's kroenkes baby, le arse are seemingly just something he happens to own Arsenal are lerners villa with better players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 88 minutes to score an equaliser, barely have shot and all they can complain about is the ref and VAR. Confirmation of a dead club, might aswell sign Garde or Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted February 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2021 Poundland Pep is going to come unstuck sooner later, I can see what he is trying to do but I just don’t think the players are good enough or he will have the time or backing to do it. I’m also not convinced he is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 That Odegaard guy look like a classic Arsenal signing. Technical. Good on the ball. Lacks physicality. Since Vieira left they've been an easy team to bully and it doesn't help them that the type of players they target are far too similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
