Match Thread: Villa v Arsenal

Emi - great save and generally played decent this half. weird decision to try to jump over Konsa that could have cost us, but eh

Digne - been ok, but some bad passes

Pau - been ok defensively as well, but also given the ball away too much this half

Konsa - generally solid

Kosta - think he's been looking pretty decent against Martinelli. good from him!

Onana - shirking his defensive duties and a little invisible this half. needs to show up a lot more than he has.

Youri - good & bad. some great passing and some giving the ball away. think he's being a little left to carry the slack in CM due to Onana being invisible.

McGinn - could do better, but always a work machine

Bailey - looking very rusty on the ball and with his decision making. Not really in this game.

Rogers - yes

Watkins - no

Rogers looks immense when driving forwards. 

Young Ned doing really well. Doesn’t look phased at all.

Overall we are far too wasteful on the ball, too many balls given away. 
 

Watkins needs some more time to get sharp. Hoping he can sneak one today and that will be the spark he needs

I wonder if Rogers gets an England call up in September? Carsley at the game.

Watkins went away with England for a few months and now he's missing open goal. Keep them as far away as possible please.

Fairly happy with that. Both teams are clearly rusty and finding their feet, the fluidity of play isn’t there for either of our teams. They’ve had more of the ball but not massively threatened, and we’ve been best when Rogers has burst forward. He’s been outstanding this half. We could be 1-0 up if Watkins was as sharp as we know him to be.

Arsenal with the majority of play - but we are also a good team. Their best chance came from Saka - and that because we had only 10 men on the pitch at the time.

Our shape is good and we should really be in front.

Going to be a tasty second half

We need a squad. We have PSR restrictions. Barkley signing made total sense. The fact you think we signed Barkley then randomly chose to sign Onana after is frankly laughable. 

Where did you come up with randomly choosing to sign Onana. We need a squad and Barkley is now a squad player. He was also an insurance signing when we knew Dougie was leaving but couldn't be certain we get our real target (which we then did in Onana). Makes sense to me.

I can't believe we were able to pluck Rogers away from Boro after we played them. We're other clubs unaware of him?

Yes they were but none of the other teams were as massive as Aston Villa FC
