While there's no doubt it was entirely Anthony Taylor's fault that we somehow lost the game at The Emirates, Villa for some reason do seem to be a bit of a bitch to overcome for us in our recent history.

If we don't beat them away from home (where we are brilliant and they are timid to say the least), then it's genuinely pathetic. They can barely score, have just lost to Sheffield United and have about a 20% possession average. Withstanding another corrupt referee, this has to be an absolute banker considering our form and the big rest we have prior to the game.

I'd like to see Gnabry rewarded for his performance, especially as at this stage he's still a mostly unknown quantity and could do serious damage to pub teams if he is unleashed. I think Wenget will go for an On Paper strongest team though (I assume Theo is most likely out for this).

Szczesny

Sagna
BFG
Koscielny
Gibbs/Monreal

Arteta
Wilshere
Rosicky

Ozil
Giroud
Cazorla


1-3 (Giroud, Cazorla, Podolski).

Don't think it's been decided yet. There's nothing on the PL website yet.


As long as we avoid, Taylor, Mason, Dean, Dowd or Webb it should be fine. Wouldn't mind Clattenburg or Marriner, we have quite good records with them.

As for the team:

Ches

Sagna
Kos
BFG
Gibbs

Arteta
Ozil
Wilshere

Santi
Giroud
Walcott


I'd much rather start Gnabry ahead of Wilshere with Santi moving to the centre but I doubt Wenger will opt for that.

I haven't heard diddly squat, but if he is back for the next game, there must be a pig in the universe somewhere flying. Really didn't look great. I assumed it wouldn't be a dramatically long time because Theo didn't exactly look distraught but I'd be amazed if he was ready to play in this.

I think it's really harsh to leave Rosicky out at the moment.

The Emirates Gallactico
06-01-2014, 08:23 PM
Oh well, with Theo out we've got to start Gnabry. We need players who can provide pace and directness.

Bumble
06-01-2014, 10:40 PM
Villa are poor but I think they will treat anything against us a bonus. So I imagine they will sit back and try to his us on the counter, we will have possession of around 75% and win 2-0.

I agree gnabry has to start, played very well last time and we need some pace and directness.... when is the Ox back?

The OX will be short. Rozza/Gnabry will replace Feo and Miyaichi will take the last slot on the bench.

We've got Neil Swarbrick for this. Not bad, could have done a lot worse (see above mentioned) but he has a tendancy to be very reluctant to give out Yellow cards unless he absoutely has to. Might result in some physical scroting from Villa.

Giroud was only out of the last game because he was sick as opposed to injured so I 100% expect him to be in the line up Monday.

Ramsey and Gibbs can be on the bench which is fine because we have a number of in form midfielders and Monreal is more than competent in a game like this.

Team news from the press conf :

on Theo Walcott’s injury…
He has surgery and then it’s rehab. You know that it is six months and you hope it all goes well. The only thing I can say is it's very sad news for us and above all for him.

on Oxlade-Chamberlain being back…
It is unbelievable because he played the first game of the season, against Aston Villa, and now he is back and available and it is against Aston Villa again. That makes it five months where has been completely out, so that means he is fresh and that should give us a boost.

on Ramsey and Gibbs...
Ramsey and Gibbs are very close. There is a small possibility that both of them could be available on Monday.

on Giroud and Ozil...
They had a good training session yesterday and today they had no problem. They could be back.

on Bendtner…
Bendtner, you count three weeks from now until he is back in training.

on Vermaelen…
Vermaelen had a little knee problem so he had to come off against Tottenham. He could be short for Monday but there's still a chance. But everybody else should be alright.

The title is man city's. The refs are doing all they can to ensure city win the title. Every other match, a controversial decision or two goes their favor.
All we can hope to do is keep playing consistently and be close to the top.

JonasTC
12-01-2014, 10:00 PM
And they're doing it really obvious, i dont understand how this is accepted by FA. Refs should seriously be fined or put down in lower leagues if they make big mistakes like theese, how many points have changed hands so far this season from bad ref decisions? Its scary.

Anyway, looking forward to our match tomorrow :)

I have no idea who will start on the wings, Rosicky have been awesome, Podolski is fully fit, Gnabry is the new jesus and Cazorla is awesome as always, and then we have Ox who will probably get a cameo in the end.

The only thing that worries me about villa is their pace in attack. Agbonlahor and benteke are the type of forwards who we can struggle with st times. Big strong and direct. If we keep them quiet we will win easy.

3-1 away win

AFC Leveller
13-01-2014, 09:35 AM
Agbonlahor will find an extra yard as always against us and i expect him to be their main dangerman. Our away record is one of, if not the, best in the league and we are good at beating pub teams so i expect nothing less than 3 points. Id play the same side that smacked Spuds, Giroud for Walcott obviously though.

1-2. Come on ARSENAL!

spurs last weekend. the reason i say that was a thrashing was because we beat them easily without having to leave first gear.

in terms of score thrashing, must be reading or villa towards end of last season

Blink 1nce Quince 2wice
13-01-2014, 02:01 PM
We tend not to give them out as we usually get 2 nil up and make sure we are extremely difficult to breach from them on. We could have beaten a hand full of teams by a several goals this season though already.

I think we will have a little extra incentive owing from Villa beating us at the start and wanting show we can still put them up in the absence of Theo, so maybe that overdue spanking might come tonight.

Benteke hasn't been playing that well of late, although we know he fancies playing for the Arsenal so I expect a little effort from him at least.

Famous last words but I'm not nervous at all. A lot of rest, first choice defence available and Ozil's back. Wenger will probably go with Podolski for the goal threat. We don't need a top performance tonight but as long as we do the simple things right we should see off Villa.

With all the time and space available, Podolski would be ideal.

Give Ox an opportunity for some +1s when we're 0-4 up.

Robbie SavageBBC Radio 5 live at Villa Park
HALF-TIMEAston Villa 0-2 Arsenal"Christian Benteke can't hold the ball up and when he loses it I don't see greatest urgency to win it back. At the opposite end, Giroud's excellent work-rate does not even compare.
"The best teams work hard on and off the ball - and that's what Arsenal have done. Aston Villa look like a side that will be battling against relegation at the end of the season. You can't see where this Villa team are going."



But Hansen and Lawro said we don't do anything off the ball.

When Savage makes you like utter cretins, you know you should put yourself down.

Özim
