Villan57
Alert Team
I was at the game. Had to sit with the arsenal fans. They are so quiet. Kudos to Villa fans in the away end, you were class.
What did they think of Villa as a team then?

oops, sorry 57.Trust me I was replying to Wittonite.
The gooners I spoke to said we should’nt read too much into this result as arsenal are top 6. However, one asked a worrying question, “would Sheffield Utd have thrown that away?”. We’re playing some good football but we need to man upWhat did they think of Villa as a team then?

Like the 3-3 at Villa Park. I was at that game and I’m pleased to say I didn’t leave earlySheff Utd were well capable of throwing games away last season

This time last year we were losing to Sheff weds at home. A year later we are gutted about a 3-2 defeat at Arsenal.
Maybe perspective is needed from everyone in the cold light of day.
I include myself in this .
Someone’s got to stick up for Taylor. Looked to be part of one or two flowing attacking moves and as yet isn’t guilty of a fatal error unlike some of his teammates.
I don't think Arsenal were brilliant though. Uncharacteristic mistakes from Mings and Engels cost usThat coming from a man who's side threw away a 2-0 lead to Watford a week earlier.
All teams are caoanle of throwing leads away..... Yet I find it interesting nobody ever focuses on the team who have clawed their way back in... It's never that they've been brilliant it's always the other team throwing it away.

Yes we do put the effort in at the death when the game is lost. Its so bloody annoying after taking the lead in games and then appearing to run out of steam , around the seventy minute mark, conceding, and then having to try and pull it back.Arsenal certainly went for it as they had nothing to lose; we were under extreme pressure. However, on another day Mings and Engels wouldn't have made those mistakes; at least, I hope not.
Nobody mentions the fact that we did come back to try to retrieve the game. Hence Hourihane's legitimate penalty shout. In fact, we do seem able to put that sort of effort in at the end of a match.
You’re right mate. Mings and Engels have been superb so far this season. The errors were uncharacteristic. And we should’ve had a penalty. I’m sure we’ll bounce back. And we’re definitely good enough to stay upArsenal certainly went for it as they had nothing to lose; we were under extreme pressure.

Smith had to rebuild Brentford each season and they had some difficult starts (probably as a result of that). Smith, Mings and SJM have identified problems that they are working on. Beat Burnley and things look different - this will turn around. We've not had the rub of the green and have created our own problems so far. The good thing is that the players are not afraid to identify the weaknesses, a far cry from the last time we were in the PL.
I'm as gutted as everyone else about Sunday, but I'm sure this team will continue to improve. Home games will be critical.
