I think that’s a really good half overall. And there are more goals in this for us if we can just slightly sharpen up in the final third. That is (obviously) always the question at the moment.

Was exactly the half I expected tbh. Sometimes our aggressive press worked and we got some chances from it - other times Villa played out well and got Watkins running at our two CBs.
Very similar to the home fixture last season - but this time we finish a first half chance. Hopefully crucial.
Agreed. Think we've suffocated them and then outnumbered Watkins when they break quickly to him (it was brilliant when he was through and within 5 seconds there were six arsenal players and not one villa player to help). Need to make our dominance count and get a second.
Was a really good first half - but I definitely don’t want to see Partey at RB if Timber is fit. I think we’d be +1 by now if we had played Kiwior or Tierney at LCB and pushed JT to RB
