They may drop points at Spurs but I suspect the title will be done and dusted by then anyway.

They are all tough games, the first of them being beyond tough- and beyond us, I suspect.

If we lose to Wolves and Chelsea we will be going to Spurs looking to keep our hold on a top four place...

Precisely. In our out. All or nothing. **** or get off the pot.

There were 3 or 4 occasions in the first half where they were very close to catching us on the counter attack. A bad pass a shirt pull and the inside of the post helped us out. That is tolerable,...

I think these decisions are far easier to make from an armchair at home.

I'm sure Arteta had his reasons for doing what he did and I am sure he saw much that I didn't, and understood it a lot...

And they played through our press with ease. We were constantly leaving the guy in the left back position free on the ball. I assumed we were forcing them to play out through that flank but I...

I was worried when I saw the team. Not really sure why Zinchenko has come back in fashion. We were fine with Kiwior there.

I understood playing Havertz deeper but by early in the second half it...

For me, everything changed when Liverpool lost. I suddenly got nervous and it felt as though the picture had changed.

I think that, and our failure to get ahead in the opening half hour, really...

He's exactly like one of our new signings. Timber :-(

The only solution is to buy more 100 million pound players so we have enough :-)

Or finish 5th. Nobody wants to play in the Europa League.

Win on Wednesday night and we get City in the semi final :-(

Unbeaten against them this season :-)

Well we are effectively 1-0 down at kick off when you factor in the Harry Kane penalty. Or do you mean an additional robbery? :-)

Our style of play certainly doesn't seem to lend itself to rotation. Maybe we should always just 'concentrate on the league'.

You said it was a squad game!

We are capable of losing narrowly :-)

I don't think Zinchenko can be trusted in any role. He is just so sloppy in possession everywhere.

I cannot see us winning. But you never know.

We must not fall apart! And we are still in the Champions League. Wednesday is now the priority. Title race is not over, but catching City is not something that a sensible man expects.

An entirely sensible view- I thought the same. :-)

As much as you try and talk yourself out of believing, it does creep in somehow :-(

The team has outgrown them both. They improved us last season but now they are holding us back. We've got a left back who can't defend and a centre forward who doesn't score goals.

We're not quite ready. There's always next season :-(

It is really important that we don't collapse now, as we have done at this stage in the last two seasons.

This game was always going to be tough. Villa are a good side and have been pretty good against the top sides this season.

We looked vulnerable to the counter attack in the first half and then...

True. We were great for 30-40 minutes and using Havertz to run behind from deep did work. He just couldn't finish them off. We should have gone in front and gone in at half time in control.

Had...

I'm afraid Emery worked us out at half time and Arteta didn't do anything to change things. Jorginho should have been on by the hour mark.

Could have changed at half time. Could have changed at the hour mark. By that stage villa were in total control. He just waited far too long.
