leffe186 Posted November 9, 2024 Share Posted November 9, 2024 I’d have to watch our last two games again to figure out the difference, but it’s weird how differently Villa play against us than they are playing here. It’s genuinely as if Emery is scared of us - he sets up so much more defensively every time. If he set up and had Villa playing like this against us I feel like they’d be much more successful.

I actually advised people to bet against us beforehand. Listen to any Spurs podcast, we’d have been happy to give them a 3-0’and not play it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted November 9, 2024 Share Posted November 9, 2024 Honestly, I’m not that impressed with Liverpool. Like they’re a very decent side but nowhere near the peak City we’ve experienced over the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Injury-prone players notwithstanding, it does feel like an inevitable by-product of playing so many high-tempo games. The anomaly is how few injuries Arsenal got last year.

Expand I’ve not seen too much of Villa other than our games, and like I say Emery has been (I think overly) cautious against us. We got a lot of joy by winning possession in their half rather than cutting them open on the break like this. It feels like he’s let them be far more open tonight and it looks great when they are attacking but it leaves them so vulnerable on the break. If this is how they normally play then yeah, it’s more like Angeball tbh. Oof. Should have scored that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 9, 2024 Share Posted November 9, 2024 What a spin move off Konsa to get free for the header ... but then he misses it. So similar to Nico Jackson.
