In the end the bet with 2.65 odds didn't let me down in this match
Gabriel's goal through the chaos in front of Chelsea's goal. This is clearly proof that Chelsea still has a lot to do because we really see from this match that Chelsea's performance is actually not very good because they still make mistakes by losing the ball and getting the ball wrong.
The odds did fail me as I went for the Chelsea 3.00 odds instead. Apparently, the 2.65 odd was a lot too high for Arsenal with the sort of performance they pulled off. I didn't expect it for sure. I though maybe this round would be the round that Chelsea gets to make up for there lose against Brighton Hove Albion and to make out some position on the league table but, I was wrong and lost.
Chelsea are playing a rather reserved football and were scared mostly in this encounter. Looking out for a counter but, they didn't have any player on the attack ready to go one against what ever number of defense Arsenal might have had in the moment. The closest to a counter was from Loftus-Cheek but that was interrupted half way through.
Arsenal even deserved more goals in this game than just a single.
At first I also saw the odds for Chelsea but indeed with their performance and a lot of players who couldn't play for them and seeing Arsenal's odds which were in this match were quite good too so I changed direction.
I am happy with the game they are running. Chelsea are still very difficult to maintain their stability in this case so it is a natural victory for Arsenal because this is something that looks real Arsenal can win from the start of the game.
Manchester United is very much unlucky in this match, the forwards are trying their best to control the game but the silly mistake from the defence especially lindelof landed AstonVilla conceiving their third goal which has made it almost impossible for them to expect a win in this much. Even if Manchester United have to introduce their long injured star, Martial, it will still be very difficult for them to get a win. Let us be very hopeful that Manchester United can see a draw
They became clowns after they in the previous few matches were praised.
Their performance was really messed up in this match so Aston Villa was very easy to score, especially in the early minutes.
On the other hand, it was a sweet debut for Emery and I have no doubts about this coach from before when they coached Villarreal.
