Difference between Gabriel Jesus and a decent centre forward. They actually put their chances away. He and Zinchenko are awful . Pep has got rid of his trash.

Fair play to Villa, they seem much more cohesive than we do today.

Does feel like this is Emerys cup final and maybe we haven't given it the respect they deserve

Dont know what was said at half time but its been night and day.

You can't bring on subs like ESR for Odegaard

From now on it's the fight for getting into the CL.

Don’t think we’ll lose form that badly. In midweek you now have Bayern & Arsenal, one who has already lost the title and other has given up a lot of ground. So both teams will be up for it.

Jesus hardly only had half chances... can't remember him having a clear chance in this game. Havertz had a few though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That pathetic header at the far post? He adds so little to the attack in the PL, we look so much better when he isn't there.

Not scored a single goal against this Villa team

Fack me Arteta hasn't got a clue v emery

Nah we just looked tired and jaded to be honest. Villa looked fresher. However it would have been a very different game had Trossard scored

Spurs spanked 4-0 yesterday but GT worried they're gonna make up 11 points in 6 games in which theyve got us, Liverpool and City in 3 of them

Wouldn't call that a clear chance though

Yeah Arteta has got it wrong today, even the subs didn't really make any sense.

Should have kept Havertz up top... no reason to really change it

Even if we do manage to still win the league a number of our squad need to be moved on for better options , especially Zinny and Jesus,

That's on us though, not them. If we wanna win the league we've gotta be able to get through games like this.

Reminded me of the home game against Brighton last season.

We looked tired today. Villa lookes so much fresher in the second half. It hurts how we really havent got an answer to low blocks.

Brentford scored 3 against these lot

Lineup just felt lazy today. Jesus through the middle, Havertz in midfield, zinny back in. Felt like convienience for us rather than taking it seriously.

I think Jesus has a spot in the squad if he wants it but I think Zinchenko offers less than he needs to to justify his shortcomings

We were probably due a defeat anyway. Perhaps it will be a wake up call and we will buck up our ideas and not have a repeat of last season where we just went completely off the rails

Man City have reached a level I don’t think any team has ever. They’ve not been at that same standard as last season yet they’re about to win the title for 4th time in a row. Arsenal and Liverpool both have played amazing stuff and yet won’t win the league.

Felt like Arteta playing his ideal 11 with his favourites

We have still not worked out to play against a low block.

I really thought we had learnt from previous title challenges and would do better this time round but it's same old Arsenal.
