Nice to see our two main forwards linking up (albeit awkwardly). Hopefully that pair can get stronger over time, they have so much potential

Yeah. So much better
Nice pass from Mainoo to set up the play for the 2nd goal there
They beat our press easily in the first 30, put us under a lot of pressure, giving away the set pieces that lead to goals. Since then our press has worked better and Villa haven’t had any control. Hopefully we can continue with that pressure and convert chances
Was really nice seeing Shaw on the left for the first half. A lot of great passing sequences.
Showing some of that Scotland goal scoring form. Thank goodness
Me too. I don’t have high expectations but we playing better football when in possession, so hopefully that can start turning into wins.
It’s also fantastic to be back in the Champions League. Let’s hope we can stay there for a while this time
Good takes here, agree with what you are saying. I think we gave them a couple too many chances to say the plan worked well, but we definitely did very well against the high press and used it to our advantage in the final third of the game
I don’t think there were any atrocities in the decisions. Arsenal we’re a better team most of the game.
We did look much better towards the end of the game when both teams were a bit more open, especially when we had a strong target man up top
Yes, pretty much. But we were also pretty slow in attacking transitions (which should be our strength), giving them plenty time to block out space
Yeah, Ericsson and Fernandez doing well getting the ball to the forwards. Just needs to happen more often
