    Match Reaction v Villa (home)

    Our fearsome attack showed up again.

    Back to negative GD for us.

    Utter shite.

    Great way to prove how redundant that result at Old Trafford was. Not surprised in the slightest with this, quite frankly we’ve looked every bit a mid table side and the results bare that out so far. Arteta is dining off the wins over City and Chelsea in the cup because the league results since he took over are bang average and that’s putting it kindly.

    I’m fed up with these tactics and not being able to attack with any conviction or potency. I’ve no problem with playing conservative football but all the best defensive teams are still very effective up front and we just don’t have anything to provide there.

    It’s weird not having the media cotton on to the shit were serving up, they’re normally quick to hone in on us. It’s probably because Arteta is a nice guy, either that or we’ve become totally irrelevant now in the grand scheme of things. Though the manner of this result is going to raise some eyebrows for sure.

    We’ve got Leeds next and getting tanked there is quite feasible given how both sides are set up to play.

    We won’t be getting anywhere near 4th on what we’ve seen so far and I’m not even sure we’ll be able to match our 8th place finish of last year either, given how vibrant some of these so called lesser sides are looking.

    Arteta needs to answer some real questions now

    Only positive is that i didnt pay to watch the game or even watch the game. Losing 3 zip at home is never a good result.

    We are sort of more solid but it is dull. Just not sure arteta is the one to take us forward

    Did anyone pay the £14.95 to watch that of those in the UK?

    That's the only thing that could somehow make it worse.

    I don't think we even played this badly under Emery and Arteta has been given millions to spend.

    What worries me more than anything is the ease in which we are getting outplayed, West Ham outplayed us a few weeks back and we got lucky. Our football is shite and we rarely control a match.

    Na, found a stream and then it died in the 2nd half.. kind of apt.

    That was truly dreadful though. Arteta responsible for picking the same under performing players. Partey our best player and he was injured, says it all really.

    How old is Laca now? Seems to have aged about 10 years since he joined us, genuinely painful watching him lumber around.

    And Willian's performances are really worrying given he was supposed to be a player for the now. What the fuck is he going to look like in year 2 and 3 of his contract!

    £5 a goal. Great value

    Can we claw it back on postal goals?
