Ratings & Reactions: Arsenal v Villa

[limpid]

Your ratings and reactions please. Keep it respectful even if you know everyone else is wrong.

A mod will add the players to the MoTM poll later.

[Risso]

Given the expensively assembled talent out there, this has been utterly unacceptable.

[Enda]

One of the worst first-half performances I've ever seen from us.

Ahead of the usual VT meltdown let's get things going: ARTETA OUT.

Shite

This is the beginning of the end for Deano. I dont agree with it, but he'll be gone by Christmas.

I think he'll be fine.

2nd half shows what's to come with Bailey fit

1st half was the worst we've played for a long time, utter shite to a man and manager

Wasn't a pen 

[Davkaus]

2-0, even with the dodgy penalty, flattered us massively at half time.

The second half wasn't as woeful as the first, but it certainly wasn't good.

Hopefully we see Bailey starting next game and we've seen the end of 3 at the back.

Wake up call. It’s back to the drawing board for this squad of players and management. Please build on what worked. We are finishing 16th at this rate.

Bailey has to start every game.

Great that Ramsey scored, hopefully that uncorks the bottle.

[Farlz]

First half as bad as I've ever seen from Villa. Second half a little less so but still not good. 

It's all just going wrong currently, what was looking to be a relatively decent start to the season is very quickly going down the shitter. 

[TheAuthority]

Why was the ref spray painting all over the pitch at the end? - what a nob

[StefanAVFC]

Smith under pressure now unfortunately. Everything that could go wrong, did. 

[rbcuk]

Disgrace that 1st half was, hope never to see the 5 in defence again, but knowing Smith he’ll do it again Sunday 

[blunther]

Not very good at all. Let's see Bailey start next game and get back to four at the back. Great goal from Ramsey and end of the 3-5-2 experiment are my positives. It has its uses but it shouldn't be the go-to every game, nor do I think it will be with Bert and Bailey available. 

[Wainy316]

Horrible

[jim]

Disgusting performance first half. All the the manager. 

[S-Platt]

That one is on Smith I am afraid.  Piss Poor.

[gwi1890]

Terrible, Im sure Sky is chuffed 

[Mantis]

Awful.

[AstonMartyn88]

Very poor first half but better second. 3-5-2 needs to be done with but at least we made changes at half time. Disappointed with Cash and Targett and someone needs to get into Mings’ ear to remind him of the captain’s role to lead. Buendia very poor and for me Ings/Watkins don’t work together
