I’m Hurt, We’ve Thrown It Away Again! (Lee Judges) | Arsenal 0-2 Aston Villa

aftv Lee, um, a really shocking defeat today, especially because you know Liverpool had lost their game, so it really gave us a great opportunity today, win the game, get to the top of the league and keep it all in. our hands but of course now the big winners of Man City and um it was a p it was a bad per especially in that second half listen it was in our hands before the G before the game that's it That's it, that's the end. Right now, you know, that's before we start with Arsenal, we give credit to Aston Villa today.

I thought it was absolutely outstanding, an excellent

away

performance, which was like M Midfield today wanted it more than any of our midfielders or any of our players. You have to give credit to yourself, credit to you, that's twice, we played

again

st them twice, we haven't scored twice, they did it to us and credit to them. I thought he was excellent today, I want to talk about Arsenal, piss poor and I'll say it. You, what

hurt

s me the most today is not losing and all that is bad enough when I see the Aston Villa players enter 5050 tackles 6040 in their favor sometimes and come out with a ball that

hurt

s today to see that the players take a tackle not taking out tackles losing his battles hunger desire for ason Villa to get Champions League football than us to win the Premier League and that is the reality of today's reality one hard to take one hard to take he deserved nothing that today I didn't deserve to win the game, I mean the first half, you know, there were many opportunities for Arsenal, they had 14 shots in the first half, but what happened in the second half I thought they went well. with a response because they got a big reminder when Olle Watkins hit the post in the first half, they also hit the bar in the second half, as you know, if you're honest, they were the best team they had. they were the best team they say they are the best team and you have to have to know hold on you know and you know tie our today we have a chance to score I should have scored I know M say but you know it's a chance guilty I miss it, listen, you know, Everyone gives Mel credit and I'm one of those who's been giving her credit today.

He was completely wrong today, you know, and that has to be said, you know the substitutes, not so much the substitutes, the team that we all are. I said it before, we weren't happy with a team, you know, Lee told him in the studio, but I'm going to say that now we weren't happy with it. I felt like it was a little bit like, how can I say like you know? keep everyone happy keep everyone happy as you know, he's been doing fantastically well up there, whether you've played him up there or not. I understand why he tried to do it, but the players let him down today.

Today was fantastic, Tuesday night was poor. Today Trar was poor, you know, Shenko was poor, yes, but in the end, in the end, we played two games, two games on Tuesday and today, where the pressure is, I don't care what they say, big big games and we committed fouls defensively. miserable You know, you considered four goals in two games and at the end you have to put your hands up and say look, when it comes to pressure, there was pressure today to get the result and we haven't got it, Rob, yeah. I haven't and, as hard as it is to accept, you know, I didn't care what Manchester City were going to do in the next six games or whatever, it didn't matter, it didn't matter because as long as we won our games, that was all that mattered and now you have to rely on, you have to rely on I don't know what it seems like they got Fulham to go and get a result, you have who else I have Spurs, who they We have to rely on other teams when today At 4:30 we had to trust ourselves, trust in what we had to do and we failed, the coach failed due to tactics and whatever the players failed, as you know and I did.

I'm going to be very honest, the fans also failed today because we weren't prepared for it, we were on Tuesday night, I don't know why and I'm going to say it now, you know, I'm going. At

away

games, everyone was laughing and singing about the cleanliness of the stadiums and all that, like you know, where were our fans today? They played in the last five minutes, as soon as Ole Watkins scored, we played in front of a half-empty stadium. A poor result. A poor result. performance and that is what the players get and what they deserve.

I don't believe it. I don't believe it. And you know what I mean. Yes, today was a bad day at the office. As you know. I did not play. Well I'm as disappointed as anyone like you, if you want my you know, and in my art days you think we're winning the league, we've got no chance now because City aren't going to drop any points, listen yeah. You can say I'm just trying to give a bit of hope here, I'll get there and I've got to do it, and you know, a few weeks ago City were in third place, City were a few points behind and Liverpool were on top and then People said they had the easiest race.

I mean, it's still about the games ahead of us. Is this what I see today? What I see today. I'm going to bring Liverpool as I see three teams over the weekend. In home games, you know exactly how to do it and what to do. The manager knows exactly who to leave out and who not to, and the other two found that he wanted the right thing and one

villa

in found that he wanted Klopp to not have the players he had in front of him. It's like we're a better team than Liverpool, so for me today Arttea and Arsenal had the toughest game of those three teams this weekend.

No, yes, you can say that, but that's how they are. I have Europe, they have Europe as you know. I looked at them, I looked, look, for example, you know, I love Dean Rice, but today you can see that he was faltering, he was not the energetic self that he has been as you know, I see. His players return from where they played on Thursday, but they are not that difficult. We have played the Champions League and we have played the Europa League. We, as fans, have been to Europa League and Champions League matches and I.

I don't care as a fan, you can say it's a different occasion and all that, so you have to accept it, so they weren't there for the taking, but I look at it and think it's okay, if you are. I'm going to make changes today, make the right ones, make the right players, you know, the players who are going to need to rest and things like that, now you know they've had problems and all that, but today I see Dean Rice trying to chase them. back and he wasn't quite there I see Odard isn't quite there today as you know and and the and and the two ARS when it matters look, I've loved them In fact, I said they'd probably be in one of Arsenal's old teams, no They will not be nor will they get into the best Arsenal team of all time until when it matters, you defend properly and they didn't do it today, they didn't do it

again

today.

I don't know what happened to the pH. I think it must be offside, as you know, I mean, that's not how you defend Robbie. You know you could still get something out of that game in the end. As you know, you defend like that. You know that's criminal. I don't mind. OE Watkins has been through all that, that's criminal. Another thing I didn't like about Arsenal today was how many times they got caught offside, the laziness, the laziness of why he was playing again and all that, you know, little things like that today and you can turn around and go on with this and this which I think is the pressure today and I'll tell you what I think I'm going to say, you might think I'm stupid when I say this if Liverpool had won today Arsenal would have won right?

I'm telling you about the pressure today because of that result. I felt like there was a different atmosphere in the, you know, we were all celebrating. Liverpool won today. Sorry, I lost, yes, without doing what we had to do. that's what happened today, you know, I mean, we thought we were going to come here today and just win and it's not going to be like that and I can tell you this now that Manchester City won't be like that. They are a little I don't think Menest if you told me that they are the best team now.

I think Arsenal are still the best team this season, but they don't know how to deal with it and they have no way out and we're going to have to learn from that. I thought Arsenal would have learned from the pain of last season. Obviously they didn't because today I see what I saw last season, but the most important thing for me is today and I will do it. Leave it at that, I felt like the Aston Villa players wanted the Champions League more than we wanted the Premier League and that's what hurts me today, you know, and that's what I'm going to go home today and I'm going to say and and I think that for the Bayern Munich game and I still say that he has one eye on a couple of decisions because when you look at it today you have to say why Joel Jio doesn't play there, why You changed that, the reason why he changed that because He is thinking about the Bayern Munich game and, as you know, he is cursing us for
