There's a Gooner on Talk Shite just now ripping into the fans because of all the storming out and tantrums that apparently went on at the Emirates today. But you feel that guy's pain, I must admit. We've been there pretty often ourselves. after all.
Its crazy to react like that after one loss especially when they lost their best defender in Gibbs and had a player sent off in those circumstances.
On another day they could have won 6-3.
Everything that could go wrong for them did including two penalties to boot.
They will bring in reinforcements and will challenge for top four again this year.
Villa played a great pressing game that requires speed and fitness personified and to do it against Arsenal who move the ball forward as good if not better than any team in the premiership takes some doing.
I haven't seen Agbod'y tracking and pressing back like that ever for 2 minutes a game least of all for 90 minutes.
If Villa reproduced that display at Coms they wouldn't come away empty handed.
