If Arsène Wenger, Ivan Gazidis and Arsenal's other powerbrokers thought angry reactions to this defeat were restricted to the club's supporters, and particularly those who chanted "spend some money" after Aston Villa had scored their third goal here, they would be wrong. For dissent is also coming from above, with the club's honorary vice-director, Lady Bracewell-Smith, also demanding change at the Emirates

The club have had three months to add to their squad and appeared set to do so when Gazidis, the chief-executive, boasted in early June about an "escalation in our financial firepower". Yet the key targets Gonzalo Higuaín and Luiz Gustavo have moved elsewhere while links to Wayne Rooney and Luis Suárez are burning away. There has been a quality shortage for some time and now there is a quantity shortage to deal with days before a tie which threatens Arsenal's participation in the Champions League for a 16th straight season
