Other games (2024/25)

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.

Not as open as Spurs midweek... 🤣


:lol: that wasn’t weirdly open, we were just shit, tired and didn’t really care and they were rested and massively up for it. 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.

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. 
 

 


I feel like they’re just not playing too well tonight and Villa are doing a good job. They’re better than this, but yeah, not like peak City :lol:

I don’t think they’ll need to be to win the league this season.

Just knew that injury to Ramsey was coming. Similar feeling to when Willock plays.

 

 

 


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.

Aye true but I’m certainly not fearing the game on the 4th even though they’re a bit of bogey team.

A bit? I can’t remember the last time we beat Liverpool in the league? Was it the game Enrique ended up in goal when we finished 5th?

Last time we beat them was nearly a decade ago when we had McClaren and Wijnaldum

Those types of goals should have been being scored against Villa for ages like, can't believe they've only come unstuck recently. 


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.

They've never been you vs Chelsea with 9 men suicidal :lol: but you definitely both share the crazy high line that can be exploited.

What a spin move off Konsa to get free for the header ... but then he misses it.

 

So similar to Nico Jackson. Both so dynamic and capable of getting into good positions, but prone to missing badly.

:lol: Oh that was very much a child of circumstance but hilarious. Nobody has been that ever.
