Administrator Stan Posted February 6, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 6, 2021 Mistake by Cedric, Traore nips in and crosses for Watkins who's shot is deflected past Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 There are so many good attacking players that cant get in the England squad at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted February 6, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 6, 2021 Traore should finish that. Tried to be too clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Villa's defending has been really organised so far, if you watch Arsenal's centre mids with the ball Villa press them in numbers and good timing, Arsenal are only playing with one man up front which has allowed one of the centre backs to push forward should Arsenal find possession between Villa's midfield and defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcing arsenal to play it out wide then double up on Saka and Pepe with Grealish and Traore putting in a shift tracking back. Villa comfortable really.

Danny Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Arsenal's passing needs to be a lot quicker and slicker than it has been if they want to score today, Pepe had a good opportunity to float a cross to Gabriel who was free at the far post but went for goal instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, tactically Villa have got this spot on so far and I think Arteta needs to bring on Odegaard as Arsenal need more fluid attacks through the middle.

Aubameyang or Martinelli too. Give Lacazette some support and provide some movement in final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Matthew Ryan will prove to be a good signing for Arsenal. Assuming he'll be #1, he'll do well I think as he has shown today (for the most part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted February 6, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 6, 2021 One thing I find annoying about Arsenal today is they would often get to position just inside the box near the touchline and be afraid to cross, even if 2 or 3 players are in the box. They'll turn back out and recycle it a bit too much. Gives time for Villa to organise and pick up players again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know a lot but when I've seen Leno the few times I haven't been impressed to be honest. Both for Arsenal and Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
