Got what we deserved from that game I'm afraid. Villa are a great side but we offered no alternative out ball all game so were predictable, onto the next one

COYG.

We did create good enough chances to draw or even win the game, but Odegaard's finishing and Martinez's saves were our undoing. I bet Rice will be disappointed with his defending for the goal as well. He knew McGinn was there.

{Ed014's Note - Martinez was fortunate to get away with a few howlers too.

I thought we did enough to get a draw - we can get back to winning ways quickly after that.

Martinez was solid some right howlers too but we were not quick enough to take advantage. Players looked tired and lost for ideas. Missed arteta dishing it out today. Bad day at the office wipe it out move on. Rest all players need a strong finish against Brighton and then away to Liverpool the big one win that and we are almost there.

Dont get me wrong, we had plenty of the ball but not enough chances created from the ball we had.

{Ed025's Note - your spot on sparky, as much as Jesus and Kai try they are just not prolific enough mate..

It was a top of the table clash between two in form teams and the home team edged the result, just as they did at home to City in midweek.

For me personally it's as simple as that, without meaning to have a go at Arteta in any way shape or form, what a job Emery has done at Villa, obviously not today but I general

I'm really pleased for him, despite the fact I desperately wanted him gone when he was our manager.

Gutted about the result but like some have said Emery has made Villa a well oiled machine, they know there roles and they do it very well (especially at home, amazing record that) beating us and city in back to back games. so firstly fair play to them.

We bossed the ball and we had chances but for me we need to be quicker in creating chances rather than dilly dallying about waiting for the perfect pass. Why do we never take a shot from outside the box? . why not take the chance when there’s an opening. try your luck. how many goals do you see from other clubs that score through deflections or whatever…you never know unless you try.

Disappointing but we’re still in the fight so onto the next one. ❤️?.

It's natural after a defeat analyse and debate the performance of both the team and individuals, and of course the referee and var, but when fine margins rather than gaping gaps separate the two teams you've got to sometimes take defeat on the chin.

Villa defended well and Unai has done a outstanding job, but we had enough chances to win the game. As John said take it on the chin and move on. Have not to break sweat on Tuesday as job is done., then on to Brighton who have proved to be a bit of a bogey side at the Emirates of late.

I think we need a left back who can defend another midfielder and a top class striker and we are good to go.

We're just 3 players away Wilfred ????.

A goalkeeper like martinez both ramsdale and raya not good enough ramsdale to be No2 and raya to be No3 we are looking for our No1. All out striker although when you have an all out striker the team become reliant on him overall performance goes down on team.
