With the possible exception of Sakho, they have a genuine claim of having a better player in every position on the pitch.

I'd have a fit Sturridge over any of their strikers. Besides that you're probably right

Arsenal are absolutely murdering them. In a way, it's more preferable to lose 6-1 to Stoke at a non-decisive league game to get absolutely tonked and embarrassed by Arsenal in a cup Final for Stevie's last game. Arsenal have created more opening in the last 5 minutes than we did the entire game vs them ! Look at the intensity at their play!

Either he's not properly fit or those shouts from some that Benteke was indeed a "mobile" striker are total bullshit. Moves towards the ball like a fucking tank.

All the same shit was said about Andy Carroll and people tried every which way to justify his signing.
Was totally wrong for us and a woeful player.
I think Benteke is better and for a decent enough price would be a better option than Lambert & Mario....but fuck me, £32m??

We'd be utterly fucking insane and deranged and desperate to pay anything like that.

Typical Villa turn up against us but wilt when playing other big teams.

Oh behave. I think I hate this argument (well, whine) more than anything else on the forum. Exactly the same was said after they beat us 0-1 in September and they didn't even have to play at all well to do so. They lost about six on the bounce after that. They've never been any good; they finished 17th. Only ourselves to blame for being utterly wank whether it's against Villa, Stoke or anyone else.

Dreadful stuff from Villa. They'd hoof it up to Benteke even if there are far simpler, better options.

So, that Benteke lad eh? Worth every penny of £32.5m...

kinda hard to judge him in a team thats hardly getting a kick, for all our faults this season we're usually on the front foot and having the majority of possession so you have to take that into account.

Pretty happy with Arse taking it. Means no stupid qualifying games in the Europa for us.

Think competitive games would have helped us prepare for the first league game.

Villa fans in meltdown mode right about now.

Quote from: bodhisattva on May 30, 2015, 06:43:21 pm

I think its more that we're not as good as Arsenal so allowed them into the game more than Arsenal are.

Shush, don't ruin a good whinge with reason!

That is the problem.

Although i'm not sure whether i'd prefer him or Sanchez up front in all honesty.

Butcher Knife Roberto · « **Reply #376 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:48:36 pm »

Wenger has played a blinder today, got his tactics absolutely spot on. Nullified the threat of Benteke and is making Villa look like the relegation botherers that they really are. Alternatively it may just be that Tim Sherwood is a fucking shit manager. Either way, if Arsenal lose this now they are mugs.

Garlicbread · « **Reply #377 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:48:39 pm »

At least the Villa-fans have their Steven Gerrard masks and banners!

Walcott has been fantastic. Amazing runs. Really hope owners/manager/TC are watching this. Paying 32M for Benteke is an equivalent of Banting to be voluntarily spend rest of your life in a gulag.

He's a better finisher than Balotelli but that's about it. Work-rate, pressing and mobility are pretty comparable, and the fucking state of Benteke's first touch compared to Balotelli...

Not sure if your including Sanchez in that but Sanchez over Sturridge any day.

Yep,his first touch is horrible and his passing too.

You know you're fucked when Per Mertesacker scores against you. Game over, this could actually end up being a bit embarrassing.

And sorry to pollute the thread, but Benteke? £32 million? No no no no no.

£32.5 million

Couldn't have looked any worse today.
