Well done the team and coaches they've been gettin down the sides fairly easily though which is a concern lets hope that walking red card Xhaka goes in the second half too I think I'd get Elmo on for Guilbert. They've walked past him a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Maybe we won’t win today, maybe we will be very unhappy in an hour, but it is so so so much better than when we were last here. Remember our last PL season? It was awful. There’s a lot to do this season but it’s so nice to not be THAT awful, isn’t it? Low bar I know, haha. But I believe in the project!

mikeyp102 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Good first half. Happy with what I’ve seen so far. Need to take advantage of the extra man now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 22, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 22, 2019 If Xhaka comes out for the second half, just get everybody running at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Trezeguet MOTM for me so far. The work he puts in going forward and tracking back is nuts. What an engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs **** battered us, but just couldn't get the goals for a long time. Look at the stats. It was attack vs defence. I thought we really rode our luck against Everton as well. We just about deserved the win, but they could have easily turned it around if Walcott wasn't **** shite. This is the best team performance from us, IMO, but let's see if it continues... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already knows where to be before the ball is even played, it's brilliant. Early days and all but so far I've not seen such a cultured centre half at Villa. I've seen some great centre halves for us, McGrath, Southgate, Ugo, Laursen, Mellberg etc but none as cultured as Engels, so good on the ball and never looks flustered, nothing last ditch about him, reads things very well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Once again people focusing on the what, 3 misplaced passes by Jack. He's been excellent otherwise. Xhaka just can't handle him right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Great start from us. But we seriously need to stop taking our foot of the has when we go a goal up. We have to go for a second no question. As a Greek sokratis should be absolutely ashamed of himself the cheating bastard. That was embarrassing and he should have got booked for simulation. What a joke and desperate tactics. Let's hope we don't do a spurs here. As easily could have been 1-1 if auba didn't miss that sitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few times I’ve seen him deep then not join in the counter. Get on your bike. It's infuriating, he's not working hard enough. Arsenal are a shambles at the back, the least he could do is apply more pressure on their centre halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_Hope Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 West Ham' s result today shows that a point whilst having chances to score and win was good for us on reflection we are nowhere near as poor as our league position suggests! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal going down to 10 men worries me. I see it as an opportunity. Especially since DS can deal with it now during HT. Not worried. We've looked the better team.
