City were thrashed here last season. We were beaten too last season. Not sure what more you want.
Going to a top 4 team who are superb at home and barely letting them make 2 passes together is more than enough. Again, not sure what you're on about.

Must be why you left Watkins wide open then. Should be down 1-0What?We have been camped in their half, they've not strung two passes together.
We have restricted them to their part of the pitch, what more do you want? They're not the side you come here and batter. Villa smashed City and every big team at theirs last season.
A very cat and mouse CL style first half that.
Would be astounded if Morgan Rogers isn't in an England squad within the next six months. Some brilliant runs from deep that opposition are struggling to stop.

I don't want to start a needless "is van Dijk good or not" argument. He's still the best in the world in my opinion, despite not being in his peak anymore. Saliba is second, and then there's a bigger gap to the rest IMO. That's what my post was about.
That Watkins miss... Oh my days
Was poor. He had time to take two touches and slot it in the corner.
Ollie looks exactly like a player who hasn't had a pre season so I'd be getting Duran on at the hour mark again.
From an individual mistake. Villa very well organised and defending in their own half restricting space.
Arsenal bossing possession but not doing much with it, always wary of the threat of Watkins on the break.
2 well organised teams cancelling each other out a bit.
I mean you should really be 1-0 down if Watkins doesn't fluff it.
You picked up 0 points against Villa last season. This is the type of game you need to start winning and not just camping in a teams half. It doesn't mean much if you don't do much with it.
yep. The time wasting from them is peak Spanish dark arts.
He had time to walk the ball into the net. That was horrendous.
So basically Van Dijk is the best in the world and you don’t want anyone to challenge it?
ok mate.Imagine Durán will come on soon. Watkins has been guff.
Get Watkins off pitch and stick Duran Duran on.
That's some save
Watkins another one that needs to come out of my fantasy team
Damn Villa
fecking Raya
Fantastic reflexes to save that.
Lucky cnuts
Simply a sensational save.
Oh my god. How does Watkins not have two goals. Absolute melt.
Watkins you clown, HOW have you missed that?!
Villa should be 2-0 up and cruising here. Unbelievable from Raya.
Watkins is a turd.
Timber getting totally brushed aside is “good defending” according to Neville
Watkins couldn’t hit the water if he fell out of a boat.
Villa's been the best team
All these chances and then Arsenal will go win with a jammy 95th minute goal with the ref playing on till they score.
Yep
Watkins missing all these sitters today and yet managed to score THAT goal at the Emirates to end their title last season.
Jaysus Onana
Whose this Roger’s chap?
Rodgers ragdolling Rice/Partey at will
He had another one
Martinelli has really regressed.
Hear he's a very nice guy
Rodgers ragdolling Rice/Partey at will
He’s done it to both of them like 3 times each today
Rogers giving Dembele vibes with how he is bullying Rice and Partey who are by by no means weak players.
He's made Rice look poor.
Partey is a fouling machine. Ridiculous really, all he does is fouling
