Lacazette and Xhaka again in arrears. You would think with the start we had and mood Saka is in Lacazette would be among the chances but he has no presence upfront. He is also likely exhausted from the midweek game. Also that shit pass towards the end handing the ball over in the final third - he isnt with it, even for Lacazette that half was dog shit.
Then Xhaka at the end, little push on Buendia, then ignores the referee when he is about to be shown a yellow, then yelling at the referee as he gets his yellow - whats the pricks problem? Does he have no respect for his team mates that he is would drop them in the shit again?
Those early subs need to be made. Elneny and Nketiah/Pepe for Xhaka and Lacazette. I would go as far to sub Xhaka now.
Arteta cannot allow the second half to follow the last 10 minutes of that half because Villa grew into the game.
Funny how the ref indicated 3 fouls by xhaka, can't remember him conceding one foul in the 1st half. Means 2nd yellow and red for him.
Villa players have committed two tackles worse than Everton's Allan did on Thursday yet no review???
Something is wrong.

I've a feeling it wasn't for three actual fouls during play but rather three times he shot his mouth off or was aggressive or whatever off the ball. So three times his own stupidity was totted up by the ref.
