I have no idea what to make of Arsenal's dismantling of the Villans at Villa Park early this afternoon. It was nice to see the free flowing offense even in the ugly weather and its never a terrible thing to get three goals on the road. On the other hand, it is distressing to see goals left on the pitch - lots of 'em. Henry missed two that are usually no-brainers for him and another that he would probably have scored at the height of his powers. Pires and Edu both hit posts on makable shots. Henry ducked under a sweet cross from Ljungberg. Vieira flubbed a volley early on before the outcome was certain. Against Villa, this sort of performance probably isn't a tragedy but if the Gunners want to retake second from Manchester United and make some noise in the FA Cup and Champions League, they can't afford to squander opportunitiese on net.
