First half, they weren't.

Second half, they blew them away, 4-1.

Really good second half performance.

But it was Villa's second game in London in, I think, 72 hours.

So there was possibly a bit of fatigue in there.

They then went to Bournemouth.

They won 3-2, but they were hanging on at the end.

Gabriel mistake.

They went behind.

Wasn't entirely convincing.

And then they've had this run now of drawing 0-0 at home to Liverpool, drawing 0-0 away at Forest and losing to United.

So I think they've had this coming for a while.

And when Arteta talks about the Forest game, for example, as he did post-match after the United game, he seemed to want to bring that up.

He said, oh, people talk about Forest and we drew 0-0.

They created nothing.

It's not even Forest.

they're battling relegation.

And the first point he goes to is, well, they didn't create anything and we had chances ourselves.

And I think this speaks to the only thing that really could stop Arsenal winning the league, which is that if they continue to be this risk averse...

then they're going to play every single game with this tension and within these fine margins.
