Watched almost the full game with some minor distractions. Arsenal will probably be the eventual league winners however that doesn’t change the fact that their football is unbearable to watch. There’s no creativity no pace in the play, everything is slow. Unfortunately even without saliba their defence is good enough to keep clean sheets against almost anyone. Villa despite still not having a goal this season I think looked ok and are good enough to challenge for ucl even after selling rogers, watkins and tielemans. Jackson had a good debut in my opinion, he just didn’t get enough service but then again it’s hard to get any against arsenal. I’m still patiently waiting to see the full potential of this villa attack with manzambi and mbaye. Midfield wise they’re ok and the defence is good enough as long as pau torres doesn’t commit war crimes against his team. Goalkeeper wise I honestly think they upgraded with suzuki over martinez, just as good on the line and much better with the ball at his feet. Regarding arsenals attack selling martinelli and trossard while only buyinh tzolis was a huge blunder that got rid of any depth they had attacking wise. All their targets got stolen by rivals: rogers, barcola etc. leaving them with a young and inexperienced at the top level winger as the only option on the left. Notable players: Saka, buendia, suzuki, calafiori
