Yeah, fairplay to the Villa. Our striker didn't have single shot in forty-five minutes.

All those absences and changes; I suppose there must be SOME consequences.

The constant injuries have caught up with us in the last month. Last minute goal at Sunderland when we had literally nobody to bring on to change the game. And then defensive problems at chelsea and villa. 7 points dropped.

We are not going to win this title if this carries on. We now have a centre back shortage for the next two months. If anything happens to Hincappie, Timber or Saliba, we are ****ed.

It is so ****ing frustrating. As was that. I can't believe we have lost that game after playing so well in the second half.

The defence looked hugely vulnerable all game. But it would, wouldn't it. :-(

Can't stand constantly getting dicked by Emery's Villa. Embarrassing. We've been a shambles 3 games in a row. Brentford flattered us.

If we don't win anything this season then there will be consequences. We are the best side in the league at the moment and have spent a fortune. We have a great squad.

But if we cant keep our best players fit then we are going to **** it up. He cant keep brushing it off as part of the game. There is clearly an issue.

We won there second game of the season last year, 2-0, and drew 2-2 at home.

Revenge opportunity comes quick this year, 30 December meet again at the Emirates.

What do you suppose the issue is though? If there was something causative in his [Arteta] techniques the fact would have emerged? Players would themselves have howled in protest surely?

I have no idea, although I think overplaying key individuals is part of it.

It cant be bad luck. Been going on for too long
