The Villan in Us.

ARSENAL 0
ASTON VILLA 2 Glichy OG Agbonlahor

I just simply do not know how to call the latest defeat at the Emirates.

Is is a debacle?

Is it a disaster?

Is it a setback?

What?

I would not go as far as calling for Arsene Wenger's resignation but the team he put out against Aston Villa was a different team to the one that won all three points against Manure last week.

Different in the sense of attitude.

Do we really motivate ourselves just against the like of Manure, Liverfool and Chelski? And for other matches, we just simply turn up and all the three points will be in the bag.

Of course the lips say 'NO' but the attitude seems to be saying 'YES'.

So it is not fair to blame Arsene as he puts his trust on his players to continue the momentum from getting back to their winning ways. For me, the players really let us down with the lack of hunger against a more motivated team, especially with former Gunner, Steven Sidwell was very keen to prove his worth after being let go by Arsene earlier.

We could just put the blame on luck as Bacary Sagna was down injured when Villa broke through his side and the referee for not awarding a free-kick after Curtis Davies had taken down Carlos Vela prior to the second goal.

But the truth was the visitors who looked more deserving to go home with all the three points.

And I for one, would like to see how are wee going to get back on track.


Again.

Yeah, I definitely agree with U, it's just attitude that matter. Why against MU, players are so motivated to win while against the lesser teams played like they can't be as a losing side, complacent. That is the disease that Liverpool had suffer before.
