Like they will probably limp out the champs league this season and nobody will utter a word even though with there squad they should be getting close to the semi's at a min. Even their best side, the 03/04 unbeaten league side, got knocked out in the quarters of the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhm, they got to quartets last season. That's pretty close to the semi's if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Same as the Ollie one, it's a great save but the striker really should be scoring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago They’re pretty one dimensional up front, give it to Saka and hope for the best. Their starting LW hasn’t scored since March, against Sheffield Utd. If it wasn’t for their defence they’d be nowhere near a title race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havertz has something like 16 goals in his last 21 games The depth isn't there though, martinelli, jesus, sterling, nkeitah would all struggle for games at villa Seems like they've doubled down on defence and left the attack until next summer City at the weekend, they'll play for 0-0 again, still don't think they can win the title unless they beat city which they haven't done for 9 years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling they have some sort of verbal agreement for Sesko next summer, he signed a new contract at Leipzig and stated for this season, but won;t surprise me if Arsenal sign him in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly choking to draw 0-0 at Atalanta. That's the side that beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield last season and ended the Leverkusen unbeaten season by beating them 3-0 in the Europa League final. Not exactly a poor side. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were actually defensively poor against us and Raya plus Watkins bailing them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago They are rather dull, aren't they? At least under Wenger they were good to watch even if the defence slowly evolved into a shambles. It's twenty years since they won the title, can't see that changing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've literally no striker. Jesus is a close as they have and he wasn't up to it when he was at a better team. How Arteta thought he could compete without getting one in the summer is a mystery. Without a proper striker they are doomed to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also restricted by FFP and the kind of striker who would actually improve them seemed to be out of their budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
