Aston Villa v The Arsenal, Sat 18 Feb, 12.30pm

[HCZ_Reborn]

if he doesn't sub Zinchenko at HT after that, there's just no hope for us

he gave the ball away a lot including for the goal, takes too many touches, has dreadful shots and has no tactical awareness, keeps ignoring Trossard when he's in good positions - absolutely appalling and the worst signing we've made in a long time, not least because he's denying us the contribution of one of the best left backs in the country

The whole left side of our attack has been neglected for weeks. What’s happening to Trossard is no different than what happened to Martinelli.

These types of collapse were always possible because Arteta is too stubborn with certain players.

Xhaka and Zinchenko need to be dropped

If Arteta knows whats good for him he will involve Martinelli immediately and ensure that Trossard remains on the pitch.

But I doubt he'll do something imaginative, he'll play it safe as usual and hope Saka conjures magic to save his ass.

This predictability is becoming rather boring.

Eddie for all his poaching ability is not a well rounded player. He’s done as well as he could but we’re lacking horribly up front now.

Maybe worth playing Martinelli central, can’t be any worse than what we’re seeing currently.

I didn’t see this collapse coming a month or so ago, maybe I was naive. This team is a mess right now.

some of us kept pointing out Arteta's deficiencies and were put down for it but hey, I'm not exactly happy at being right...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No changes.

Your post is fine, but I'm not sure why you have used the word "neglected" for the right side..the players on that side of the field have been fucking average and thats why every attack we make over there just goes to die a slow pathetic death!

Obviously the coach is at fault seeing this and not being able to identify a solution. Clearly both Trossard and Martinelli are not the problem....would it kill him to realise that he can play both of them so as to bring back the Jesus effect that side of the pitch is missing??

Arteta keeps on with his naive rookie mistakes.

Xhaka adds nothing in this game

Eddie, Martinelli and Trossard should have started this half.

I just hope Villa don't score again.

Newcastle!

But however the way we're going, that soon won't be the case.

Holy shit! Their GA number is ridiculous. Ok, 3rd then! I don’t think that fundamentally changed my point.
