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

Our attack wasn’t very good either, we really struggled to create good opportunities
