    Another comeback win for Aston Villa. 3rd in the table at the minute. Unai Emery has got this team absolutely flying.

      We were horrendous in the first half and were lucky to only be down by 1.

      Barkley and Duran (of course) changed the game when they came on.

      We need a right back. Konsa, despite his goal, isn't great there and isn't great going forward mainly due to being a centre back, and there's always mistakes in Carlos when he's out there when it would be better if Konsa was at centre back. Bogarde got given a go but doesn't look ready yet, and Cash, despite the fact that I feel we could upgrade on him, is still our best bet there.

          Both teams feel hard done by - perfect! Arse will be kicking themselves as they almost made it but switched off with time almost up to allow a short corner and Kovacic a shot inside the area.

            Again, no consistency from the ref over giving a YC for kicking the ball away. It seems only Arsenal players are booked for that!

                  Playing devil's advocate, Doku was kicking it back to where the free kick was given - very inaccurately - rather than kicking it away as they were ready to take it. For Trossard's 2nd booking, is it confirmed what it was given for?

                    @KiwiPie For kicking the ball, which happened while Oliver was still blowing his whistle.

                    It will be interesting to see if anything happens to Walker for his exchanges with Oliver at HT. I doubt it.

                      Looks like Ten Hag is set to stay despite seeing over the worst Man United team I can remember seeing.

                      Truly abysmal yesterday.

                          He should have been gone last season. A genius move from Pep to fool people into believeing the Man U had achieved something great last year by winning the FA Cup.

                          Like, don't get me wrong, winning domestic cups are handy, but for big clubs, league position is more important. Solksjaer was right, all these managers that go to Man U are more focused on winning cups and improving their CVs instead of pushing to get up the ladder in the prem.

                            Have to give ten Hag credit for making Spurs look like world beaters without their best striker - with Son instead of Werner it could have been 6. Meanwhile Fulham sit in 6th and if Bournemouth beats Southampton tonight, they will be 11th and above Man U.

                            And Brentford have scored in the 1st minute of 3 EPL games in a row - good for them - except they haven't scored another goal in minutes 2-90!

                              @KiwiPie what do you mean if? Bournemouth result never in doubt. Saints punished and cherries 🍒 11th

                                Of course Fulham will slide down the table pretty quickly over the next two rounds....

                                  Of the 3 relegated teams, Ipswich seem to have something about them, Leicester have a bit of talent and Southampton already look doomed. I can't see Leicester getting enough wins so that means Ipswich will be battling the likes of Everton, Palace and Wolves for the final spot - of these Wolves look on the biggest slide although they've had a tough run of fixtures.

                                    Back-to-back promotions and then survival would be an unprecedented achievement for Ipswich.

                                    it wouldn't be good to see all three promoted sides slide straight back down for a second consecutive season. Despite all three promoted surviving two years ago and currently sitting 6th, 10th and 11th.

                                      Ipswich have taken a point in their last four I think, definitely have fighting quality about them, as do Leicester. Saints just not aggressive enough. Palace should be doing a lot better with that line up. Everton should have had a few wins, but choked when in front. Wolves though seem to be in a bit of trouble. Losing Pedro Neto to just sit on Chelseas bench doesn't help. Still too early though to write them off, but they do need a change in luck

                                        @dogmeat The fact that they all went down last season makes it more likely it will happen again this season - the 17 are able to build some depth and cope with the pressure of injuries.
