The Aston Villa-fans probably have the same feeling we had in our homegame last season. We dominated most of our homegame, but lost 0-2. A great revenge😊 Raya and Saliba were the best Arsenalplayers, and Califiori looks like a monster.

[@CharlesWattsAFCnews]

Yeah, very true. Similar outcome.

[@tomfrost2600]

Yeah, great cameo from Califiori tbf.

[@Carpediem_76]

5 for Havertz is harsh in my opinion. He may have not been as sharp in the final 3rd, but his work off the ball, bringing others into play , and overall energy was immense.

[@mrkingdom6683]

I agree, and it's only the second game of the season.

[@supercala2108]

To be honest I felt like that’s fair rating. I’m so happy with how Kai is performing for us but he was a little non existent this match, not surprised cause i think Emery has our number so it would’ve been hard work for him. 5 is fair, not his best game for us but he had his moments that helped us

[@ezeobinna2303]

How is 5 harsh on him? His rating is 5 and that's fair for his performance!

[@samhutchinson8047]

I think I’m general it’s hard for number 9s in games against big teams. We’ve seen haaland struggle in many big games the last couple years. So as long as havertz is working hard off the ball that’s what u want.

[@nextgenownage]

Yeah he was marked out of the game I can't really remember to many occasions where there weren't 2+ players on him

On a side note there has been talk about Arsenal signing a moments player, a player who can get you a goal out of nowhere when the game gets stale. I’d say we already have one in Trossard

[@arjitjere1559]

We do but we need another forward who can do that and take pressure of saka. We have two non performers currently in jesus and martinelli upfront

[@desmoran2049]

Yep we need another

[@sarahauchoybur3699]

Really impressed with Trossard, we know he's clinical but Martinelli gets the starts because of his directness and pace. Today Trossard showed he has good pace alongside top notch technique with some excellent runs in behind. Hope Trossard can put in that level of performance when he gets his inevitable starts.

[@desmoran2049]

Trossard brilliant impact player but has put in poor performances when he started last season and was taken off every time.

[@ezeobinna2303]

​@@desmoran2049it's not true. He has also scored when he started the games last season, especially when Martinelli was injured. For instance, FC Porto match at the Emirates, Man United at Old Trafford, Wolves match at Molineux, etc

[@mattc1176]

What a signing Trossard has been. If Chelsea hadn’t gazumped us for Mudryk who knows where we’d have been? Would we have had the £ to buy Rice for example. I thought the game was a bit like the group stages of an international tournament - cagey, control but no tempo. While I’m pleased we’re not Man Utd going end to end with no control, our play was too static too often. Martinelli got in good positions, worked hard without the ball & I think he’ll come good with the final product. But time for Trossard to take the starting shirt for now.

[@jorgelampreia5184]

Thanks Mr Watkins your love for Arsenal shone through. Raya was fantastic. Great super sub Trossard performance. I think that was a fabulous performance against our boogie team from last season.

Get in!! BIG WIN for the Gunners!!

[@ogunkanmiayodele5052]

Hello Charles. First time commenting since subscribing over 3years ago 😢. Great win today. I however have my reservations about the game. I understand why Zinchenko didn't start at left back today, but I must admit that we really missed his impact in this game. It's the reason Rice seemed to be missing because we had difficulty transitioning from defence to attack with Timber playing in that position. Timber seemed lost and kept running aimlessly in midfield when we were trying to build from the back. Also, Partey remains our best player in that 4 position; and we can all see he's getting there physically; he had an even better performance today than last weekend. Hopefully, he stays fit and keep at it. Great stuff you do man 🎉. COYG.

[@Dheejks]

Credit where credit's due, Partey had a great game. I was worried the physicality would be too much for him in the second half particularly, but he did really rise to the occasion Still think that we can't rely on him given his lack of pace and fitness

[@falayyou]

Good ebening

[@AaronAlexandre-mc8nw]

Hey Charles, i think the Villa game showed us some worrying points towards this season. First of all, Partey's physical presence has definitely dropped due to his age and constant injuries. His passing ability and goal was good, but if opponent keeps running through power and pace it will be really difficult for Partey to cover. Second, we need an winger signing. Martinelli just can't seem to find his feet again. He hasn't had the worst performance but it was nowhere what Arsenal surely wanted either. Many people keep saying we need to start Trossard but every time Trossard starts his presence in game dips significantly. It will not only be Villa who will be giving us a hard time in big games this season. We definitely need a game changer. We were also so short of attacking options on the bench yesterday.

[@TrueGunner-p5l]

Hi Charles, Firstly, I want to say I always appreciate your insights and the way you keep us all informed about Arsenal, even here in South Africa. I watched your latest review of the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match, and I felt compelled to share my thoughts, especially regarding Gabriel Martinelli’s performance. After rewatching the game with a focus on Martinelli's movements, I noticed how integral he was in supporting Jurriën Timber, particularly given Timber's limited time with the first team. Martinelli worked tirelessly to help maintain our defensive structure, especially against a strong attack from Aston Villa. His contributions were crucial in keeping players like Leon Bailey in check. I think this might have been part of Mikel Arteta’s strategy-using Martinelli’s energy and defensive work rate to wear down Villa’s defense, which then allowed Leandro Trossard to come in fresh and capitalize on a tired backline. While Trossard did an excellent job, I believe Martinelli’s efforts laid the groundwork for that success. Arteta has fostered a strong sense of unity in the team, and it's evident that each player understands the importance of their role, whether they’re in the spotlight or doing the gritty work behind the scenes. I sensed this after listening to David Raya's post match interview, when he humbly shared the credit with every player, and I want to believe that this sentiment is unanimous within the team, which will make Arsenal unstoppable. They already possess the skills and passion to reach the top, but the brotherly team spirit will be the key. I worry that ratings like the one you gave Martinelli might inadvertently fragment the unity Arteta has worked so hard to build, expecially when you are so articulate and compelling in your analyses. I always find myself agreeing with your comments, but not for Marinelli this time. The team’s strength lies in their collective effort, and I think it's crucial to recognize the less visible but equally important contributions. If you get a chance, please rewatch the match, and keep an eye on Marinelli, and how he kept coming to help beef up the Villa attacks. You might change your mind, I hope. Thanks again for all you do to keep us Arsenal fans engaged and informed! Appreciation from South Africa!

[@PaulWard-xn5zg]

Superb result from the boys … getting worried about the attack however with martinellis form and now Jesus’s injury

Early days, but that was a performance of potential PL champions. Hard fought, patient, gritty performance, when the lights were shining the brightest! Arteta mentioned us being short in attacking areas, so let’s hope we can get some reinforcements in that area. Bring us an attacker on top of this already fantastic defence, and we are READY.

[@gordonpatterson8615]

Hi Charles, no complaints this week, Raya's had 2 unbelievable saves in this start to the season and so happy for Thomas scoring, you could see how happy the other players were for him, he's had to take a lot of criticism lately.

Hi Charles , really liked what you said about Thomas Partey as you said Roger’s for Villa was really good but you also said TPs progressive passing was better than anyone’s, I think his been out a long time will take a bit of time to get match fit Premier League games are different than preseason games with Merino coming in they can all share the load Rice and Jorginho final some midfield depth

[@jonathanevans1043]

Spot on assessment of Tom Partey Charles, exactly what I thought. Shame he didn’t arrive at the club six years ago as there is a great player there but he’s so frustrating isn’t he and is now showing his age

[@Lineonthedials]

Very satisfying win! Villa were a bit off today so we really needed to take full advantage

[@Letmethinkformyself]

C'mon guys stop picking on Martinelli. He is extremely good on one on one situation,works extremely hard to defend and has pace to burn. Defenders would be sweating on those kind of players. He just needs a bpost of confidence (goals) and we will have a blue chip attacking forward.

[@stevencorscadden5767]

He has not been the same since the foot injury, seems to have lost a little pace, the 2 things could be a coincidence but I agree about confidence some players need it more than others and I think he is one that defo does.

[@elijahgowin9632]

He gets much less support compared to saka on the right.

[@afctaylor12]

He was awful nearly cost us a game been that way all season can't pass can't score can't win fouls and can't run pass people anymore. Not to mention he injury prone. Were not Dortmund players are here to win not to learn that was 3 season ago

Ben White definitely deserves another point for booting the ball at McGinn! 8/10 for me! 🤣

[@KCLundy007]

Hey Charles, love the show. I think we need to start having a conversation about Martinelli being dropped from the starting lineup, he doesn’t make things happen the same way Trossard does. What that means for Martinelli long term? Who knows.

[@petermabe897]

108 points to go...6 in the bag...COYG 💪‼

[@benajfox]

Trossard....Super Impact Player ⚽️⚽️

[@JohnScarrott]

I was listening to the match via the Arsenal website so can only go by the commentary. I'd give Raya 10, he sounded world class today, keeping us in the game with 2 super saves. Trossard is a 10 for me because when nobody is getting the ball in the net he comes on and does it again with his first touch. I'd give White 8 for his progressive work, he could have got an assist if anyone had made the run to get on the end of White's cross into open space towards the penalty spot. Gabriel gave the ball away with his dithering, but made up for it with some great progressive passes later on. None of the players I had down for scoring today got the ball in the net, but hey ho, so glad we have other players that can! No need for a striker where you get nothing if they have an off day. Great that we have not let Villa become a bogey team, we stuck to our game and it paid off.

[@nahashonkorir8925]

He Charles.. can Rice really play as a 8 ? Yesterday's game made me question that . Or will Mikel switch to a double pivot with Merino ... Also on Partey .. everybody says he was bad yesterday..... But I think he was okay . Forming a back three ... Rodgers just blocked him and his midfield passes all the time and used his strength.....but his ability to read the game st time was Soo great ..... The passes .his attacking play ..... Let's not down play Partey.... There was a moment when Calafiori started as a left back and ended up as Right midfielder..... He's Soo winning those duels ....Mikel must have been sooo happy . Raya is world class . Trossard will bench Martinelli And I think after this season we should move on from Martinelli is he doesn't take his chances ..... I don't expect Mikel to give him any more chances ...the coach has done his best now it's up to Gabi

[@okemuyiwaboluwatife706]

So happy with this win. Childishly I’m so happy we won so that bit of haggis McGinn didn’t walk away from that with any satisfaction. took on the task of trying to humble the brick wall that is Saliba and lost, he is so dirty so im super happy we took 3 points

[@dmouthjedi]

Hi Charles, I have a question from across the pond here in the US. Do you think we can get the best out of our left with both Rice and Martinelli out of form? If they don't find some by September, will Arteta be brave and ruthless enough to bench both at City, where the match will be decided by the smallest of margins? Huge win today, but am concerned for both and their apparent lack of confidence. Martinelli is coming off a down season and Rice had a long season where he took some harsh, and undeserved, criticism during the Euros.

[@nungiceman]

Love this team. There's a bit of nastiness to them. Ben White kicking the ball back at McGinn speak volumes. Which, always thought the invincible lacked a bit of that. Probably one of the reasons why they never won back to back titles.

[@jron20r51]

Sometimes it is better to be lucky, than good...We were good, but very lucky too. Sometime it works for you.

[@ianpetty419]

Raya's got the "Golden Glove" already😁

[@karheng83]

While I cannot disagree with your 9 for Raya but what would it take for a player to get 10/10, Charles? Imho, his saves not only kept Villa out, it actually boosted the confidence of our team to go on and win the game. Granted, the saves were 'standard training procedure' but at that point it just felt like he got us that sucker punch goal which deflates any opposition. Finally, his decision making was spot on and he did not put a foot wrong last night. 😊 Thanks for the great content again as always! Leonard

[@Chick3nDipp3rz]

Evening Charles, Raya was Man of the match for me. Those Ramsdale fans who wanted Ramsdale over Raya, honestly, do you still want Ramsdale? Those saves he pulled off. His positioning was bang on the money. Had Zinny played, we would have lost. Martineli must start on the bench. Poor today. Trossard must start. THAT Saliba tackle. Wowza. In other news, Jesus out for 2 months I've heard. WE NEED A REPLACEMENT. We must activate Nico Williams' release clause. Calafiori looks like a beast.

[@fabienb]

We were sayng last year that Martinelli was not shining because of lack of support on his side... Now there may be a confidence problem after nothing goes his way, but I'm afraid he has hit plateau. There's not much else to his game, other than some headless chicken runs that are always very sterile. It's harsh, I know, and we all love Gabi, but there doesn't seem to be any progress. I hope I'm wrong, but maybe those rumours about Nico Williams mean I'm not the only one thinking there's room for improvement on the left. And look, I know that goal contribution is not miles apart from Gabi, but it's the unpredictability and variety of gameplay he shows that IMHO make him an upgrade. On a separate note, Calafiori: what he showed in a few minutes was absolutely wow: the pass to Saliba running to the left, all his breaks, etc. Go back to watching his movements on the pitch, so so good

[@obumnemeadubasim4880]

[@user-gp6cc8jj6d]

Bit harsh on martinelli and Kai, they both put in a shift. Maybe should be 5 and 6

[@danielconoro2894]

Havertz on a 5 is pretty harsh I feel. His movement and first touch play were really good. Also Matinelli was pretty good technique wise, there were plenty of times where a lesser player wouldn't have got into the dangerous positions he did. He has to improve on his decision making and tge quality of his passes. If Eddie also goes to Forest then I really doubt that we're not going to get another forward. The transfer team has been too good for the past 3 seasons to fumble this.

[@desmoran2049]

Charles is happy today

[@fredrickmutambisi7757]

Trossard is our best finisher and our impact sub. Please let's keep it that way, he must always come from the bench not to start him. Martineli continue to disappoint and he is campaigning for Nico Williams from the look of things. Timber was descent but seem to have been forgetting that he was playing Bailey. We must avoid such lapses in concentration.

Hi Charles, do you think Martinelli’s performances are concerning? I feel he hasn’t developed enough and maybe Arteta might upgrade on him similar to how Raya was brought in for Ramsdale. Maybe Merino coming in might benefit Martinelli in the same way Xhaka did, but at the moment our threat on his side is really lacking

Great content as ever Charles! Just wondering, how highly do you rate Martinez? I think he's a good keeper but overrated when people talk about him being the best keeper in the world. Great at international level but at club level id rate him behind at least Alison, Edison and Raya in the premier league. Maybe it's because he's chucked a few goals in for Arsenal over past few years - and long may it continue! Interested to hear where you rate him compared to other keepers tho?
