David Hillier

So we went in at half-time, I think a little bit frustrated as supporters.

I was commentating on the game last night, and the minute I sort of wrapped up the half-time score and took my headphones off, I turned to David Hillier, who was doing the game with me, and I said, that was really labored wasn't it that was a real struggle just in terms of tempo and i get it look it's early in the season people are still not quite at 100 but i really did expect more after watching arsenal you know brush manchester city aside in the community shield okay Community Shield has a completely different vibe to an away trip in the Premier League to Villa Park.

I get that.

But we were so free-flowing and direct and keen to play forward all the time.

I just don't.

And if you want to catch up with the highlights later tonight via the Arsenal channels, I'm going to be on commentary alongside David Hillier.

So join us.

And of course, you'll be able to watch the full match back from tomorrow as well.
