funny
Elite arm waving from Trossard.
keep telling yourselves that and you'll keep losing, well if the players etc did they would anyway, but fans are crazy, every game you can claim this and that, cop on, best team end of season will win the league, may or may not be liverpool, but will be best team
We don't really play wingers anymore. It's two 10s behind a striker with wingbacks providing the width.
Bruno has probably been used in the front three and the midfield about equally so far.
Good half but we'll need some more corners to stay in the race with Liverpool.
That's true. The goals were close to the goal. That makes sense.
Yea, that's not a penalty. Would be a terrible call.
Hope Villa remember to send someone up the pitch to check on Watkins in the second half. These winter months are a bad time to be lonely.
Their lifeless draws against Everton and Brighton and narrow wins in games they should win comfortably are why I don’t think they have it in them without Saka.
I think we’re comfortably outperforming them in attacking stats, and similar defensively.
What's the point of marking a line if you can stand 2 yards in front of it and the referee doesn't care 
It's becoming ridiculous how much time Arsenal are allowed take over set pieces. Like Odegaard moaning a out Cash standing like 1 yard in front of the line. It's not like he's looking to shoot or in the way of the line of the crossing arc at all.
Tbf, apart from a couple of bigger wins, you guys are also just about putting teams away. Till Saka returns, I think they just need to scrap through games and stay in contention. Its the points that matter right now.
I hope some of our biggest talents waiting in the academy are comparable talents to Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly.
Arsenal can be very proud of producing those two kids. It might seem like a premature claim but just like how Rico Lewis or Mainoo suddenly emerged in the league a few years ago, Lewis-Skelly's level already seems to be comparable to some of the best players in the league in his position.

This is actually one of the better performances I’ve seen from Arsenal in recent weeks. They’re still not creating much but there’s a bit more intensity and purpose about them today.
Havertz scores. 2-0.
2-0 Arsenal, Considering the opponent, this has been a good performance
You don't think standing in front cuts the option to send a through ball on the left for a cross ?
Shit keeping for both goals.
Villa have been really poor.
Martinez should've prob got that. Right at him
Villa’s position in the table is an anomaly. They don’t rank well for goals scored or conceded, and have the weakest GD in the top half.
Weird season for stuff like that.
Weird season for stuff like that.
Martinez seems to reserve his worst performances and mistakes for games against Arsenal only.
Win tomorrow and we're only 6 points off this Villa side (albeit down in 11th)
Give him a mural
They've been quite rubbish this season, honestly and its rather indicative of how poor the League is right now that they were a win away from being 4th today.
Lewis-Skelly is the surprising one. Nwaneri has been a well known gem for many years now, but I doubt many outside of Arsenal fans knew anything about Lewis-Skelly. It does show that however young academy kids are, a they shouldn’t take a backseat to more experienced players just because they’re older and they cost shitloads. Acheampong is a good example of this. He’s already better than Tosin, Disasi and Badiashile and has shown this when given the chance. I wish more managers would realise being a teenager doesn’t mean you only get 10 min cameos every 2 months or 2 year loan spells. Some of them are ready now.
2-1.
I think Arsenal's entire identity right now is about pumping the ball in the box from set pieces. Just get on with it.You don't think standing in front cuts the option to send a through ball on the left for a cross ?
Maybe the set pieces coach asks them to delay so he can get on the telly.
Mr. T for Villa!
Arsenal top the home league table by a point. Away from home has let them down. Only 5 wins from 11. 2 defeats and 4 draws.
I miss Digne. fecking Benitez the cnut.
fecking Benitez the cnut.Game on but Villa have been massively second best.
Here we go
Great ball by Digne
Feck. Thought they'd got back in it there!
Wow almost 2-2. Arsenal have gone to sleep.
Would be robbery from Villa. They’ve been crap.
An Arsenal collapse would be great, can't lie Think they'll just about see this out though.
Think they'll just about see this out though.That was probably about the 2nd time Villa have spent as much as half a minute in Arsenal's third.
