As much as Arsenal is great at those corners, credit to them, I find it baffling that no team seems to have found a way to defend those corner routines.
Almost all teams struggle against Arsenal. Clearly, teams do not prepare as well as we outsiders think they do.

Odd thing for me is how teams have not figured a solution yet, you can not allow Arsenal players to crowd around keeper.
Whole setup is designed to not allow keeper to catch/punch the ball, creating all that chaos. Same works perfectly well when Gabriel is there

Bournmouth leaks a ton of goals ... should not be a big deal
We are the worst, and they are they best team on set pieces .. I doubt we get anything at Emirates
Arsenal won't drop too many points tbh ...

Few really tough games coming up, so need to capitalize

Villa is a decent team. The current winning run is definitely an over achievement. I don't think they were that good against Chelsea. Again, not that great today.
Villa will be in the top 6 this season

I won't say it's a quality game, but has the feeling of top teams playing a very intense game.
Arsenal will score imo, will be interesting to see how Villa plays if the game is still 0-0 around 75 minutes

My guess we continue to concede set piece goals
At the end, it's up to players on the field, I guess

Would like to see Wirtz stay on the left, Dom to play in place of Macca, may be keep Frimpong over Chiesa and start Bradley as RB.
But knowing Slot, Gakpo is likely to start on the left, Dom on the right over Chiesa, Wirtz to replace Macca.

He is a better fit for us and vice versa. My guess is that he prefers us over City, but we are not pushing atm, so likely he is left with City as an option.
Not sure how much he plays at City in the short run.

It felt like we were just one small mistake away from 2-2
And we stopped having any possession

Any half decent team should be able to score against us - set plays are just obvious, but we are poor defensively in transition too
What would matter more is if they scored first, very much doubt we can win, if they do

Kept his head up when he wasn't playing, clearly working on issues that made him struggle earlier in the season, adapting to playing in different positions.
Could not ask for more
Numbers will start to reflect hopefully

Whole team needs to hold the back more, we are leading, need to be able to pass it around bit more than bombarding hopeful balls to Hugo
