Ghost Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Villa have outplayed Arsenal so far at the Emirates. Tough to complain Depends if you're talking about football. If so, then they've outplayed us. If you're talking about whatever abomination is taking place on that pitch, then you're right, we've outplayed em. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The ref only booked Luna to make sure the crowd don't turn on him. Bad decision, but shows the Spaniards got some serious cajones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 outplaying Arsenal? you guys are delusional! Arsenal have shaded the game.. probably looked more likely to score. We have barely strung a few passes together. It looks like theres 400 metres between our front three and midfield. We definitely require a combative type attacking midfielder who will link the attack better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 KEA has done well, Glad people are coming around. Delph offers zero attacking threat. When Sylla is back I maintain my belief that Delph is not in our best XI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Good news is it's 1-1 and Weimann and Benteke have yet to turn up. The bad (and old) news is our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Good Gabby Bentekke Poor Luna Weiman Rest adequate Yeah, there goalie should have walked, and the Luna booking was daft. But don't be fooled we looked all over the place thereHow has benteke been good, do you mind me asking? Edited August 17, 2013 by P3te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Agree a red likely but great to see a lot of spirit and fight in the side in a difficult away game to a Top 4 Club. Expect them to score but dont rule out another for us so will try an optimistic 2-2. Think we will get fun this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted August 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2013 I see us bringing a lot of pressure to bear and working a powerful, fast Arsenal team hard. If we can keep our energy levels up and not get out-run, we could definitely get at least a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 In pre season Delph looked one of our better players in the game so far he has been very poor.. just shows pre season doesn't tell the full story of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 KEA has been excellent in covering the fullbacks. The most important question is though, WHY DID LUNA SHAVE HIS BEARD? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Mixed feelings after the first half. Ref is absolutely atrocious. Szczesny should have been off for the penalty, didn't even get a finger to the ball before he took Gabby out. Ridiculous decision to book Luna aswell. I wonder if that's the first time a player has been booked for tackling another player with his b*llocks? I can feel the tension in that stadium from here, and I think it's gonna really kick off IF, and a big IF, Villa grab the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) bit of a mad game, both teams look all over the place. worrying that we are only 45 minutes into the season and already have seen several examples of the woeful schoolboy defending that had us in trouble last year. the midfield offers no protection and cannot track runners, and the defenders themselves are very suspect. looks like we will have to be scoring 2 or 3 a game to get results this year!

AValon Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 There isn't a bigger collection moaning, uneducated (in football terms) and clueless words removed in this country than Arsenal fans. They are a disgrace. As anyone who has stood shoulder to shoulder with them on the old Clock end can testify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not a lot of change from last season really, but this can still go either way. Midfield are digging in, I'd like to see Tonev if Weimann fails to improve in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Sorry but I still think Delph is shite, very poor footballing intelligence, whenever he gets it I just expect him to run into some one, over run the ball or give it away. He hardly fails to dissappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
