Only dropped 11 points away last year.

Exactly, pretty certain we were on the brink of beating the PL unbeaten away record.
Big drop off.

A lapse in concentration due to our exertions in the previous game.

Maybe

I was surprised he didn’t make more changes for today’s game.

If you think that this squad has the same passion as last season, fair enough. They're sadly lacking in that department imo.
We've got too many players with an eye on the exit door, or/and drifting past their peak.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if we win a trophy or even reach a final this season.

There has been a clear change this past week. Im sorry, but if you cant see that then you must be blind. Also if we drop points its not automatically due to a lack of passion. Today we created enough chances to win 4/5-0, while Forrest had one chance all game and they scored. The performance as a whole was encouraging and if we play like this next week will win comfortably.

I'm probably seen as a happy clapper on here. But I just can't see it. Yes; Arsenal will drop points. But we've still got a home game against them, as well as Liverpool and Newcastle. And trips to Brighton, Brentford, Palace, Fulham and Everton (who may be scrapping for survival at that point)

They’ve still got to go to Liverpool, Newcastle and us, our tough games are at home, yes Brighton, Brentford and Everton aren’t gimmies but we beat all 3 away from home last season.

im no pep but every team we play try hang in game 0-0 or 1-0 then play 10 minute football today was no different
make subs stop game go 4 at back anything to stop momentum
it's not rocket science

 

[Gabriel]

Tad ironic that we played lickety-split for the entire first-half, in a deliberate attempt to tire them out, only for them to use all five substitutes and catch us tired.

 

[Millennium]

Explain what he could of done better cause he had no chance

He should be able to stop that cross or at least stay in his goal to give himself a chance. How many times we conceded from the only or first chance?

 

[dadnlad]

Problem with VAR is that they can choose what frame suits them best to make It appear onside or offside.

nobody ever questions ball leaving foot

 

[cookster]

Mostly we did. Arsenal were not much better but Villa were masters of their own downfall.

Stats from both games were pretty similar apart from they scored 4 from 20 attempts.
