    Self destruct? Referee is having a howler.

    Kos got himself sent off because he lost his rag and had a kick at someone. The ref didn't do that....the player did. IT's not all the refs fault.

    Haven't seen or heard much of El Ahmadi during this game, compared to Delph he's having very little impact

    Guzan on fire. Defence need to get organised

    Or from watching them play every week. They play cracking football sometimes but all too often they're knocked off the ball in physical battles all over the pitch.


    That was the case before if you watched this Arsenal team last year it did have its flaws but they were a lot tougher than they have been in previous seasons.

    Brilliant save :mad:.

    A few debatable decisions but Arsenal have put themselves in a position to be undone by those decisions. Aside from the first 10 minutes, they've had no control over the game and they've been sloppy at the back.

    The first one was never a yellow though or a peno. Ref is clueless should say goodbye to his career after this performance.

    Yeah, but if you've been already booked regardless of its validity, you should be perhaps more careful..

    Being behind probably suits Arsenal, much more effective when urgent attack is required.

    Villa playing worse now that Arsenal are down to 10.

    Same as ever, always up for it as underdogs but rabbits in headlights when they think they can win

    Exactly, I'm not bashing them, I say the same about certain United players too.

    The ref has made a few mistakes but definately a tough game to referee for anyone.

    So the ref is to blame for this clusterfcuk?

    I don't believe that for a second.

    Weimann and Benteke seem to have a pretty good understanding.

    coulda been a Benteke hattrick there. Hard to believe we actually let Guzan's contract expire before last season, thank fook Lambert re-signed him

    Been watching since the start, and I think he has made the game tough for himself. It's his fault there's as much as a bite to this game as there is. He was blowing up stupid stuff early on.

    I think debatable. The first penalty is almost nailed on. The second penalty could go either way, he gets a touch on the ball but at the same time he has taken Gabby from behind with the slide tackle and the red card are two relatively straight forward yellow cards.

    Benteke looking very hungry for a hat-trick bonus.
