-
Oh.
-
Did I not expect that
-
Lots of changes as it''s our 2nd most important match this week. Just smash 'em, Villa!
-
No Ginny.
-
Wow! No SJM!
-
Hmmm not thrilled with this - hopefully the players step up. We need to win this.
-
Uh oh.
-
Have to say, that's a really exciting team.
-
We're throwing it then.
-
Wow! No SJM!
We do like to make hard work of things.
-
If McGinn isn’t injured, that’s a big fucking mistake in my view.
-
Errr...
-
I guess it'll keep the pressure on Forest.
-
McGinn not involved is crazy.
-
Perhaps John is in the "red zone" or whatever it's called and needs the rest!
-
McGinn is injured.
-
Don’t mind the line up personally, we have to use the squad. The starters from the last two games have been pretty poor.
-
What’s the injury?
-
Mings Sancho and Bogarde are the three im worried about . The others i can understand.
-
No Ginny.
It's a bank holiday weekend, he's in Dublin. With important games coming up, it'll be beneficial for him to get some R&R.
-
Wow - wasn’t expecting that - not sure about this
-
Oof. I understand the need for rotation but I really want us to win this.
That said, looking at the Spurs line up, we really should be winning this anyway.
-
McGinn gives us our intensity. Without that we are not great.
-
Let’s hope it’s one of those no point having him involved injuries for SJM and he’ll be fine for Thursday versus he’s done for the season type. And Bogarde starting again does nothing for me at all.
-

😀
-
According to Jacob Tanswell SJM has an injury.
-
According to Jacob Tanswell SJM has an injury.
Fuck.
-
It certainly isn't the starting line-up that Spurs will have been anticipating and training for!
-
According to Jacob Tanswell SJM has an injury.
I think that’s probably bollocks.
-
Well that's reassuring.
-
My biggest gripe is Mings as he slows the game down too much.
-
I was confident 10 mins ago. Im shitting it now.
-
I'd have preferred Luiz to Bogarde to be honest. Far more creative
-
It's still a strong starting XI, and a very strong bench. If our attitude is right we'll beat these.
-
It's still a strong starting XI, and a very strong bench. If our attitude is right we'll beat these.
Yeah the attitude is key
-

I think that’s probably bollocks.
Painful
-
It's still a strong starting XI, and a very strong bench. If our attitude is right we'll beat these.
That’s just it though. Putting a weaker side out sets the bloody tone.
Ah fuck it. I’ll stop posting until after the game because Unai has earned our trust and I’m probably depressing everyone!
-
A nation's ire will descend upon Villa Park for "allowing" Spurs to win. We'll have to wait till the Burnley game for the win we need then...
I hope I'm wrong!
-
Banking that we beat Burnley next week then! Be good to win to apply the pressure of being caught to Liverpool instead of us.
-
As I thought we are resting a few for Thursday.
-
A really poor line up. Going all out for Forest and Burnley. Emery playing poker.
-
According to Jacob Tanswell SJM has an injury.
Tight hamstring, he’s just posted about it.
-
was thinking love that team and then forgot about SJM .. oh.
-
SJM walked in with the team off the bus. Hopefully just a v careful precaution
-
Anybody been on Knees Up Mother Brown? It must be like Jonestown on there right now.
-
Should still win. Spurs are really rubbish.
-
Good to see some Villa representatives among the punditry, with Glenn Hoddle and Karen Carney.
-
Spurs need to go for it, we'll pick them off with ease.
-
Oh despair. Oh misery. Oh woe.
...I'm pessimistic sorry.
-
Over to you Tammy, it’s your time.
Come on Villa!!
-
looks a rest for SJM
-
I wonder if Emery is expecting a battle here, and has decided playing McGinn is too big a risk.
-
Have to say, that is such a ballsy move from Emery and I massively respect it. We have play in the league with Burnley to come. We have zero play in Europe. I like it. Hope it works.
-
Nothing serious for SJM
-
Absolutely no point in risking SJM.
-
Should still win. Spurs are really rubbish.
I just spat a little beer out as I took a sip reading that.
Spurs licking their lips at that team selection.
This is going to be a real struggle…mark my words.
-
They are starting Palinha so I can see why we didn't want McGinn in the team.
-
need Sanchos best game tonight .. which aint going to be hard with what we have had in past .. but come on Jaden , lets see it.
-
Good to see some Villa representatives among the punditry, with Glenn Hoddle and Karen Carney.
Oh christ, it's not on TNT again is it.
-
Clearly a big one eye on Thursday. Last time we played these pricks they put Kamara out for the season. I’d rather we take care of business today, but resting players and avoiding injuries for Thursday is also understandable.
-
If we lose I'm going into hibernation until Thursday, we will have let the country down.
-
Not sure what Luiz did so wrong to slip down to the bottom of the midfield pecking order. Really didn't want to see Bogarde in there again, hope Barkley in next to him and Tielemans forward.
-
Good to see some Villa representatives among the punditry, with Glenn Hoddle and Karen Carney.
Oh christ, it's not on TNT again is it.
Karen Carney's Trousers would be a great name for a Half Man Half Biscuit tribute band.
-
Good to see some Villa representatives among the punditry, with Glenn Hoddle and Karen Carney.
Oh christ, it's not on TNT again is it.
Afraid so.
Christ, Hoddle is fucking terrible.
-
I really hope this isn’t a mistake
-
Tel hasn't scored in the last 16 games, apparently. Get your money on now!
-

Christ, Hoddle is fucking terrible.
Fuck sending a B or C team to commentate on our game. They literally a nose and a one eyed ex Spurs player and fan.
-
Tel hasn't scored in the last 16 games, apparently. Get your money on now!
Already done it
-
Tel hasn't scored in the last 16 games, apparently. Get your money on now!
And Maddison on the bench. Hopefully we are out of sight before he comes.on.
-
We'll lose by at least 4, would have been better to just forfeit and take the 0-3 with no risk of injuries.
-
Not sure what Luiz did so wrong to slip down to the bottom of the midfield pecking order. Really didn't want to see Bogarde in there again, hope Barkley in next to him and Tielemans forward.
Maybe we know Onana won't make Thursday and Luiz is starting then.
-
Was going to go and watch this in Stirchley and saw the line up and decided fuck that.
-
everyone messaging from leicester , forest , West ham , PAlace and even Manure, please put these fcukers down..
The country are behind you Villa .
-
Don't care who.
Don't care how.
Just win.
-
we have done alright against this spurs manager while he was at Brighton , Im holding onto this.
-
Just looking at the line up......Wow!, wtf is that about, surely we aren't prioritizing the 2nd leg over this.
Cmon Villa let get this done, 3 pts and we are on the road to CL.
-
Don't care who.
Don't care how.
Just win.
And if somebody can put one on Palhina - so much the better.
-
Lose this and I reckon Forest will have to go full strength tomorrow night.
-
Glenn Hoddle on the VP pitch, doing his punditry, 'if we stay up...'
-
Gallagher always shits on us as well
-
Bloody hell, the Villa are just an incidental in this TV coverage.
-
Oh, we do at least have Lucy Ward on co-comm.
-
Was going to go and watch this in Stirchley and saw the line up and decided fuck that.
Where do you watch in Stirch?
-
Lose this and I reckon Forest will have to go full strength tomorrow night.
Uber Emery mind games.
-
Fucking not looking forward to this at all.
-
They're a little concerned on KUMB.
-
Well they do wear claret n blue it’s in the DNA
-
Was going to go and watch this in Stirchley and saw the line up and decided fuck that.
Where do you watch in Stirch?
Bournbrook Inn of it's on Sky. Oak of it's TNT.
-
Bloody hell Emi
-
Jesus. 90 seconds in and we already gift them an opportunity.
-
What happened
-
Snap these ****** in half.
-
No way that first one was a corner, Richarlison clearly got the last touch on it.
-
twats booing cash
-
What happened
Martinez gave it away.
-
Ta
-
Early days but we look like a team that's made 75 changes.
-
They are stopping us getting out at the moment.
-
Rogers having a mare so far.
-
I’ve just got to the hotel bar and started watching. They seem about 20 paces faster than us at the moment.
-
We're struggling to get up the pitch.
-
Front players need to make it stick better. Going to struggle to play through their press with Bogarde & Mings.
-
Sancho has has a couple of decent touches.
-
Awful start, there’s a surprise.
-
Gallagher scores
-
Infantino in front of McGinn.
-
I know it’s not this match but I’m genuinely concerned about Thursday. I hope it’s the Villa team that turned up against PSG and not Olympiacos.
Not feeling too hopeful about today either.
-
******
-
For fucks sake. Here we fucking go again.
-
Absolutely fucking typical
-
FFS
-
His first goal for Spurs you'll be shocked to know.
-
Fucking Fucking Fucking Fucking Fuck.
-
Fucksake
-
And so it begins
-
Great attempt to get out and block it.
-
Christ almighty, abysmal Villa. Don’t worry about getting out to the guy on the edge of the box.
-
Gallagher always shits on us as well
Yarp
-
Fuck off.
-
Just fuck off Villa.
-
Don't want to be That Guy, but that goal doesn't happen with Watkins on the pitch in my view.
-
Yep. Course.
-
you just fucking know it
-
Shit
-
Gallagher always shits on us as well
It’s all so predictable
-
Are we the baddies?
-
Fine goal, really poor effort from Tammy to stop him.
-
Unai you better know what you're fucking doing. This is on you.
-
Make loads of changes, start slow, do nothing up front and let the other side dictate play. It's the Emery way.
-
Good pass Ty, how about fucking concentrate.
-
No Kamara, no McGinn, no Onana.
We don't have the quality to manage with half a fucking midfield every season.
-
Are we the baddies?
No. We just always get performance nerves and end up shitting the bed.
-
Good pass Ty, how about fucking concentrate.
Tyrone is a Villa legend.
And finished at this level.
-
no urgency , fucking sloppy no blocking the shot
-
Sort it out Villa. Unacceptable start.
-
Villa players think it is an 2000 kick off at the moment.
-
Are we the baddies?
No. We just always get performance nerves and end up shitting the bed.
But we could have fucked them and we did...this.
-
Absolute joke, we've actually fielded a side to lose.
What are we doing?
-
Sort it out Villa. Unacceptable start.
Acceptable to the manager I reckon. Afterall we start most matches this way.
-
Sancho is not it.
-
I am so fucking pissed off.
-
We are so fucking bad at passing the ball.
-
No Kamara, no McGinn, no Onana.
We don't have the quality to manage with half a fucking midfield every season.
Might have to bring Tielemans on at half time
-
They’ll score again here.
-
Just play your strongest team ffs. Sick of this
-
gives them a right lift now as I didnt think they was looking that good before goal
-
Not even 3rd best so far
-
Don't want to be That Guy, but that goal doesn't happen with Watkins on the pitch in my view.
I'm fine with you posting this, but if I had posted something similar criticising Ollie, half of you lot would be spitting feathers 8)
-
All predictable. The villa fairy in town
-
Too many changes Unai, this is a fucking massive game.
-
Do you want to maybe try and get out to close down a shot?!
-
Same shit different day. This is absolute shit. Lack of leadership on the pitch.
-
Palhinha. That absolute fuck.
-
Spineless.
-
Who is the team facing relegation? Yeah. It looks like us.
-
Just play your strongest team ffs. Sick of this
to be fair he rarely rotates like this but why he did it for this game I will never know. I want these ****** relegated
-
Just play your strongest team ffs. Sick of this
We did this in the cup.
People moaned when Booby got injured.
-
It's the meek as fuck approach that pisses me off
-
Where is Barklay playing?
-
Teams know how to nullify us. Our game relies on quality, and we don't have enough of it on the pitch.
-
Totally predictable with that shit lineup.
-
Barkley at 10 is shite
-
Don't want to be That Guy, but that goal doesn't happen with Watkins on the pitch in my view.
I'm fine with you posting this, but if I had posted something similar criticising Ollie, half of you lot would be spitting feathers 8)
Lol, fair, but also it would precisely have been untrue because Ollie is combative and Tammy let Gallagher collect it under no pressure gambling on an error to break away.
-
Fannying on the ball, do it quicker.
-
This has been fucking embarrassing so far.
-
Players are letting themselves down so far.
-
We have really been quite shit for a little while now so this is just typical of it. I can see us only making CL because there wasn’t an extra week for Bournemouth or Brentford to catch us. And on this showing we’re not beating Forest. And we will have everyone hating us for helping those twats stay up. Please don’t be so Aston Villa. Just this once.
-
Just play your strongest team ffs. Sick of this
We did this in the cup.
People moaned when Booby got injured.
This isn't the cup!
-
Where is Barklay playing?
Cov. Next season
-
This is fucking rubbish. It's not on, thinking we can turn it on and off in games and between games.
-
Just can't understand the attitude. There's no urgency whatsoever.
-

It would be typical to be in the position of having 2 chances to get into the CL, be absolutely shit and end up missing both of them.
-
We are keeping this load of crap in the Premiership, we should be burying them good and proper.
-
Playing like they haven't seen each other before.
-
When the Holte start singing VTID this early in a game, it usually means things have gone pear shaped.
-
ffs rogers lazy
-
We look really done. No oomph, no ideas, no calm in the mind.
-
Moscow moment this is
-
Fuck off Rogers, has lost ball every time he has got it so far.
-
Players are letting themselves the country down so far.
-
They should be embarrassed with this first 20 mins. They’ve been shameful.
-
This is more important than the Europa League. We cannot afford to miss out on the Champion's League.
-
Second to every ball, come on boys show some fight ffs
-
21mins at home against Spurs, not a shot.
-
this team aint beating Burnley
-
Most angry I have been since Gerrard.
-
Fuck off Rogers, has lost ball every time he has got it so far.
He has been crap since January. But we still play him every fucking game and rest eveyone else.
-
Make three changes now
-
A midfield of Barkley, Sancho and Bogarde....what do we expect.
-
I living in a city of Manchester United Liverpool and arsenal bastard's and I have to put up with this ,I am absolutely fuming
-
No matter the manager or players big games we turn into bottle jobs. Stays like this we are going into a massive semi final on back of poor form, 3 losses and dropped heads and nervous fans. Sort it the fuck out
-
Both teams playing like it's 15-0 week.
-
A midfield of Barkley, Sancho and Bogarde....what do we expect.
Tielemans not come out the dressing room then?
-
The space in midfield is ridiculous- what is the point of Bogarde if he can’t defend.
-
We're getting dominated at home by this lot. 20 minutes in and we haven't got out of our half.
-
We look an absolute rabble here.
-
So predictable. Glad I put a wedge on Spurs but still gutted at how bad we've been.
-
I feel ashamed. Whats the fucking point? They look like the team chasing Europe
-
Fuck me, we look lost.
-
We look absolutely honking tonight.
Totally piss poor. Unacceptable.
-
This is more important than the Europa League. We cannot afford to miss out on the Champion's League.
Win this we get the CL, win the 2nd leg (if we do) we get a place in a final who's status is way lower then the Champions League.
Crazy crazy.
-
What is this all about? A win would give us CL next year? I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed either Unai, but this team selection is shit.
-
We've been poor for a couple of months, but this is abysmal..
-
Can’t get the ball off fucking Tottenham.
-
one team is trying to win this game and it isn't us. Second best to every challenge. If you were not aware of the league positions, you would think Villa were the bottom 3 team. Unacceptable and sadly predictable atm.
-
Emi saves
-
I feel ashamed. Whats the fucking point? They look like the team chasing Europe
Was just thinking this. We're playing like fodder out there. Like NPCs.
-
This is a real bad 11 out there
-
Don’t worry about defending Maatsen.
-
0-2
-
what the fcuk are we doing rubbish
-
******
-
My mental health is fucked, I’ve ignored football all year because I can’t cope, have a quick look at the end of the season and this fucking self immolation is happening.
-
And even with how bad they are playing, no changes until 70 mins minimum.
-
Fuck this, I'm not watching.
-
We don’t event have a fucking shot on goal yet. It’s been 20 minutes. What the fuck are we doing?
-
Fucking embarrassing all of them.
-
This is a real bad 11 out there
If this is how this turns our I can't wait to see how Unai explains this one.
-
Absolute and total disgrace.
-
This is the worst performance in years.
-
We are getting battered here. This will be four or five.
-
This is a disgraceful showing...
-
Emery has pissed away a lot of love I had for him. I am so angry
-
Anyone betting on 4 or 5-0?
-
Fuck off Villa. Just fuck off you spineless twats
-
Unai you have fucked this.
-
A midfield of Barkley, Sancho and Bogarde....what do we expect.
Tielemans not come out the dressing room then?
Resting tonight.
Mings awol from that cross, we are an absolute rabble here.
-
I have never seen anything like this ever, Spurs are crap, we are getting thrashed.
-
Lose tonight, Forest shit their pants about the league, go full strength tomorrow, knackered for Thursday. We win Thursday and away to Burnley. Too easy?
-
REmi garde Villa
-
I'm totally fucking disgusted with the lot of them tonight.
-
Emery does know that even if we eat Forest, we have to win another game to win Europa. Secure CL ffs.
-
WTF
-
We really need these fucks out of this division and we hand them a massive lifeline with that selection. Fuck this lot.
-
Are the players in revolt or something?
-
We are getting battered here. This will be four or five.
. It will be unless Unai does something
-
Worst performance under Emery since he got here, these players have been given a chance and are putting no effort in at all.
-
What a bunch of fucking wetters.
No fight, no backbone, just a shambles - this has been bubbling away for weeks. We're toothless.
-
Bottlers Forest will be lapping this up, we're fucked on Thursday
-
Fucking dreadful. Shite selection. You set up like this you fucking invite this .
Fuck off:
-
All very predictable.
-
This is the worst performance in years.
Fulham was horrendous too. Needs to make subs now, not half time!
-
You give up games and this is what you get.
-
This is all on Emery. Instead of attacking he’s sent us out scared. He’s the one who is scared and it’s showing
-
This is nothing short of disgraceful and it’s on Emery. 100%
-
Are the players in revolt or something?
They have been revolting so far.
-
Fucking pathetic, no spine, no fight and no chance of over turning Forest the form we are jn
-
Feck off Emery and feck of all the players. Bunch of losers. All of them.
-
Fucking Villa. This is why I haven’t looked at a result all year.
-
They're a little more concerned on KUMB.
-
I'm totally fucking disgusted with the lot of them tonight.
👍
-
these fcukers shouldnt take their wage
-
I'd take a draw now.
-
We look uncoached, nothing like an Emery team.
-
If I was Ollie or McGinn I would get up walk out into the technical area and ask Unai wtf are you doing.
-
Laughing stock. We aint winning shit this year.
-
Bottlers Forest will be lapping this up, we're fucked on Thursday
3 back to back defeats, just what we need going into that game.
-
Disgraceful. Managerial incompetence on an epic scale. So so embarrassing and given the line up predictable.
-
we are losers, no mentality, fucking bottlers. Fucking fuming. Absolutely moronic.
-
Snooker it is then. Fuck this.
-
bogarde can fuck off to cov with barkley
-
Bottlers Forest will be lapping this up, we're fucked on Thursday
3 back to back defeats, just what we need going into that game.
Exactly - idiotic approach. Not done a thing except for embarrass themselves.
-
bogarde can fuck off to cov with barkley
take Mings with him too.
-
This is totally on Unai with that shit team selection.
-
For the first time at least for me, serious serious questions have to asked on Emery here. This was not the game to rotate for. Surely that would have been Fulham. This is a complete embarrassment.
-
Emery is a choking dog. When it really matters, he gets it wrong. Every. Time.
-
This was arguably the game that could have cemented CL and he sent out the fucking second team.
-
I am absolutely gutted.
We are doing nothing at all. We have stunk out the last few weeks and this is the culmination of it.
-
I'm shocked, this is shocking. We won't beat Burnley at this rate.
-
Utterly predictable especially with the team selection. So fucking pissed off at the ay we are chucking it!
-
John Higgins is in the country and we're throwing the match. Coincidence, I think not.
-
Unai Emery, we he gets it wrong, he really gets it wrong.
-
This could turn ugly. Mings is a liability and sadly finished at this level. Unai has got this wrong. Barkley and Bogarda are not good enough. I wouldn't be confident of getting anything at Burnley at this rate.
-
We look like a team who has never seen each other before.
-
Everyone has said the powers that be won't let Spurs go down & if this was any other team I'd be calling it a fix! Literally UNBELIEVABLY bad!
-
Emery is losing it - Forest, Fulham, This..... crunch time, and it goes to shit. Every bloody time.
-
Tammy's not good enough.
-
Feck off Emery and feck of all the players. Bunch of losers. All of them.
Interdum fidelis?
-
31 minutes and still not one shot.
-
There is a very serious possibility we won't make the CL next season given our performances recently.
-
And that's a fucking booking all day long for Gallagher. Fuck off ref.
-
Tammy's not good enough.
None of them out there are tonight
-
The bbc match stats for the game thus far is horrific.
-
31 minutes and still not one shot.
We haven't been in their box at all.
-
Tammy's not good enough.
Anyone who moans about Watkins playing may disagree
-
No one saw this shit show coming….Shit the Bed FC.. again
-
This is abysmal.
-
We’ve had nooooooooooo shots
-
What a load of soapy old dog wank.
-
Tammy's not good enough.
Stupid signing.
-
Barkley doesn't know we're playing against another team yet.
-
For the first time at least for me, serious serious questions have to asked on Emery here. This was not the game to rotate for. Surely that would have been Fulham. This is a complete embarrassment.
Agreed, this is self inflicted, 7 changes and we can’t string 2 passes together, 15% possession. He’s totally fucked this up today.
-
This is totally on Unai with that shit team selection.
I have to say you are totally correct, logged on tonight looked at the line up and the first thing that came into my head was this is a team formed to lose.
Unai does understand the 7 players rested from the tonking v Forest will carry that mentality into the 2nd leg, in spite of having to win this those players needed a win this to take that confidence and form into the 2nd leg.
-
Look at the difference in intent.
That pass from Sancho is worse than anything I could do.
-
Tammy's not good enough.
Stupid signing.
Like most of them since Emery arrived.
-
No VAR to blame tonight, Unai - this is on you, sir.
-
Tammy's not good enough.
Stupid signing.
Played for us before, though, which apparently makes all the difference.
-
That fucking pass from Sancho.
-
saancho 200K wtf
-
Ladies and gentlemen, Jadon Sancho
-
People were asking are Arsenal bottling it? It seems Emery and the players went "Hold our collective beers".
-
How we going? Runs
-
Emery has fucking bottled it. When there was no expectations in his first season we ended the season like a house on fire. Since and even in our CL year we staggered over the line. Our end of season form has been fucking shocking. We’ve shit the bed in the Conference League when every poxy English side won it. Last year we blew two massive games in the FA Cup and final league game. This year our season is going to shit. Again. Fucking tired of it.
-
Where is Barclay even playing? Loitering?
-
Rogers .Wtf.
-
Gerrard and Smiths old boys have ran out of gas - and now it's over to Emery's signings to perform.
-
Look at their fucking body language man, have some fucking guts and pride about you ******.
-
Take the money for Rogers and run.
-
It would be nice to think they're going to get a kick up the arse at half time and things will change....
I don't get those vibes at the moment
-
It's one thing to be losing, it's another to be looking totally incompetent.
-
be nice to shoot
-
Where is Barclay even playing? Loitering?
Completely lost at 10. Motm in midfield v West Ham and hasn't played there since.
-
Should still win. Spurs are really rubbish.
I just spat a little beer out as I took a sip reading that.
Spurs licking their lips at that team selection.
This is going to be a real struggle…mark my words.
Didn’t quite realise we’d be quite this passive….we’ll
Shit the bed on Thursday. It’s the Villa way.
-
Rogers needs to go - we've had the best out of him - it won't come that good again for him here.
-
Rogers needs to just piss off. Not one player out there tonight deserved any comment, but Roger’s has sunk to the bottom like an absolutely heavy turd.
-
Bogarde is coasting his way through another shocker and as for Sancho....
-
never going to see spurzz in this position again and we have fcuked it.
-
We'd last about 5 mins in the CL group phase based on this....what's the point....we've gone atm
-
Haven't been this incensed since Stevenage
-
get humpey bogart on as bogarde is dire
-
Unai does seem to choke it at the worst moments, it has to be said.
-
We've played without intensity for so long under Emery, it's basically given us narcolepsy. We do everything like we're underwater.
-
be nice to shoot
We haven’t done that all season. I hate xg but it forecasted what would happen when the long range goals dried up. And so it has proved. We are fucking absymal in the opposition third.
-
It’s folly or arrogance-we should have given everything to secure a CL place and then focus on the Thursday game….
Bogarde, oh my….
-
Christ almighty Sancho! Buendia usually plays well against this lot, dare I say, get the fucker on.
-
never going to see spurzz in this position again and we have fcuked it.
Them going down would have massively benefited us for years. this is a huge miscalculation and completely unacceptable. Feels like Moscow to me.
-
Tammy's not good enough.
not getting it to him thou , got to be quicker .. sick of this slow pondering shite at the back
-
Rogers needs to just piss off. Not one player out there tonight deserved any comment, but Roger’s has sunk to the bottom like an absolutely heavy turd.
He never gets a rest. He's probably knackered.
-
Changes needed. 20 minutes ago.
-
Lucky, Sancho and Cash (shit crime fighting duo) embarrassed there.
-
I dunno whos been worse Sancho or Rogers
-
This is disgraceful
-
get humpey bogart on as bogarde is dire
..may as well hump it forward...
-
Every single player 1 out 10 so far.
-
2-0 down to these fucking jokers. For fucks sake
-
Get Sancho off!
-
Everyone know De Zerbi presses so why not try and beat it??
-
Great planning, this.
Send out a second string against one of the worst sides int he league, fighting for their lives, in a hope of being in top shape on Thursday, only to absolutely abjectly shit the fucking bed and ensure we go into that game with our confidence on the floor.
Fucking insane.
-
You can't make this many changes and not expect a drop off but still this is awful. Our back-up players are no-where near good enough, we just don't have the squad.
-
Tammy's not good enough.
not getting it to him thou , got to be quicker .. sick of this slow pondering shite at the back
Sorry to say, a complete and utter misidentification of the problem.
-
There is zero - zero - idea of how to get forward here. Has this line up even trained together?
-
Tone was set right.from minute one with Martinez taking an age to take a goal kick x 5
-
Here’s a fucking stat for you. 45% of our passes so far have been between Mings and Lindelof. Spurs will not have an easier game all season.
-
Shitty cowards the lot em.
-
Rogers needs to just piss off. Not one player out there tonight deserved any comment, but Roger’s has sunk to the bottom like an absolutely heavy turd.
He is always played, like always. The only matches he has missed for us was yellow card suspensions. No player can keep it going all that time although I also wonder does he want to at the moment.
-
Spurs won’t ever have an easier game than the bunch of shite they’ve faced this half.
-
Everyone know De Zerbi presses so why not try and beat it??
With Bogarde and Mings? Flooding us in midfield and we have gutless Sancho and Rogers twin supporting a couple of snails in midfield.
-
Sancho is honking too tonight.
-
We at least we know the answer to the question of should we to sign Sancho on a free. However if the alternative is Bailey on, then I would rather play with 10 men.
-
rogers absolute rubbish
-
Our first eleven's a match for anyone. Take out any of our most influential players, though, and we're shite.
-
Unai completely silent on the touchline
-
Every single player 1 out 10 so far.
They have earnt a 1? Is that because they managed to walk out onto the pitch at the start?
-
They’re all absolute rubbish
-
Looking at the crowd I think some have already left.
-
Toilet.
-
Remi Garde.
-
Every single player 1 out 10 so far.
They have earnt a 1? Is that because they managed to walk out onto the pitch at the start?
Something like that.
-
I have seen so many people glazing Bogarde, but he is legitimately one of the worst players I have seen at Villa Park.
-
Take the money for Rogers and run.
agree
-
Resting so many while flogging Rogers to death every game is a bit saft.
-
Villa are hiding, several can't be bothered, Sancho and Rogers included. Bogarde is utter wank. We can't string more than three passes together.
-
Everyone of them disgraceful... thinking of Thursday
-
I have seen so many people glazing Bogarde, but he is legitimately one of the worst players I have seen at Villa Park.
I thinks he's getting worse..
-
I don’t want to see Sancho in a Villa shirt again. Get him the fuck off at HT. This is an abomination of a ‘performance’. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
This is the only time in the Premier League this season that a team playing Tottenham haven't had a shot or touch in the opposition box after 30 minutes of play.
-
never going to see spurzz in this position again and we have fcuked it.
Them going down would have massively benefited us for years. this is a huge miscalculation and completely unacceptable. Feels like Moscow to me.
Of course, no lose of dignity losing a game were you have given your all, when you are in our position and this is happening its totally unacceptable,
Reiterating this point again, we had the chance to send Spurs down, Spurs could spend shed loads in the summer, build an unbelievable side that beat us easy and keep us out the CL next season.
-
Only one team trying to win this, disgrace.
-
He HAS to make half time changes
-
Genuinely feel awful for everyone in the stadium who have paid top dollar for this shambles......daylight robbery
-
We were utter shit at the start of the season yet somehow this is even worse. I just can't get my head around just how bad we've been
-
This is on the line up by Emery.
Maybe he is relying on the Burnley match.
-
never going to see spurzz in this position again and we have fcuked it.
Them going down would have massively benefited us for years. this is a huge miscalculation and completely unacceptable. Feels like Moscow to me.
any players we want they will just come in and snoop them away.
-
He HAS to make half time changes
He should
-
Not one bloody shot at all. Not one.
-
Genuinely feel awful for everyone in the stadium who have paid top dollar for this shambles......daylight robbery
They should give them the money back nobody else would get away with this rubbish.
-
At least we'll be bouncing with confidence on Thursday after this.
Oh.
-
The rage, doom and over reactions when we have a bad game are ridiculous.
We score one and they will shit themselves.
Chill out.
-
I’m couldn’t give a fuck at this point.
-
Not one player can clim to have had decent game yet
-
Maatsen having a stinker.
-
Torres, Luiz and Watkins I guess at break?
-
The fact that we are so passive is because that’s how the manager has sent us out. How he has poured through all the videos of our games and their games and thought knocking between our CBs for 45 minutes should do it. And then the players go out and execute the shit game plan to perfection.
-
This is Wolves level of shitness. I don't think I've seen a more lethargic performance by any team this season.
-
Not one bloody shot at all. Not one.
Baby steps, we have managed to actually get a touch in their box before half time is out.
-
Maatsen having a stinker.
Who isn’t having a stinker?
-
That cuddly Bentancur booked for a cynical agricultural scythe.
-
We need to get the arrows out lads, no shots at all.
-
Blimey, Bogarde made it over the halfway line.
-
OK - I'm clutching at straws, but maybe, given that Fulham were awful having had a virus rip through the camp, & we played them last week.....
-
The rage, doom and over reactions when we have a bad game are ridiculous.
We score one and they will shit themselves.
Chill out.
Not as weird as how strange some people get about individual players.
-
When giving Rogers stick may be worth remembering this is our 51st game of the season and he's started 47 and come on in the other 4. We've flogged him to death.
-
In a field of Dildos, our team selection tonight is the asparagus
-
That cuddly Bentancur booked for a cynical agricultural scythe.
Maybe they want another 2-3 goals so want to play us with 10 men. Or it just shows the fight they have that even though they are 2-0 up and pissing it, they want to make sure we don't get any sniff of a chance.
-
pathetic emery and the players embarrassing
-
The rage, doom and over reactions when we have a bad game are ridiculous.
We score oneshoot once and they will shit themselves.
Chill out.
-
0-2 flatters us, a complete and utter disgrace.
-
0/10 for that 1st half. An utterly pathetic effort.
-
That’s the most shocking game of football I have seen in a while. It’s like we’ve taken a bung.
-
That was 2015/2016 levels of shit, an insulting performance.
-
Bet already paid out because of early payout.
We haven't lost three in a row all season, so I'm lumping half on a draw/us.
-
We looked like we're managed by Amorim then with Rosenior as his assistant. I can't get over that.
-
The rage, doom and over reactions when we have a bad game are ridiculous.
We score one and they will shit themselves.
Chill out.
Really, pipe down.
-
An atrocity. An unforgivable display. A showing that should be investigated by the anti-corruption authorities. I'm so ashamed of us.
-
I hope it’s the hairdryer treatment from Emery, but I fear it will be more of a warm, wet fart.
-
that's been coming - we've been a bunch of fannies for weeks now
-
That must be the worst half of
football* having our players on the pitch from us ever under Emery, and it isn't like Spurs have been good, but they haven't had to be.
* On reflection what we did wasn't football.
-
When we don’t turn up we do it fucking brilliantly.
What an embarrassment.
-
I'd sub all eleven of them if i could
-
It's like watching a Remi Garde side. It has been THAT bad. Not a single player playing well, we can't string more than a couple of passes together. That's the first time I've known Villa fans to boo at half time under Emery.
-
We'll win this 3-2.
-
I just can't see what Emery can do to now change this, but fair play if he's as good as we and everybody else thinks he is then changes he will make and a very different Aston Villa will emerge from the tunnel.
Lets see.
-
OK - I'm clutching at straws, but maybe, given that Fulham were awful having had a virus rip through the camp, & we played them last week.....
We’ve definitely been caught cold!
-
They've wanted it more than us & worked twice as hard as us. No team selection or tactics can compensate for that.
-
Maatsen having a stinker.
Who isn’t having a stinker?
Martinez?
-
May as well bring Guzan, Bacuna, Gabby, Richards and Lescott on.
-
0/10 flatters us. Have some fucking self respect, win a tackle.
-
To go 2 and half games without scoring when playing Fulham, Forest and Spurs is beyond horrendous.
-
Yep, that's a shocking half from us. I can live with us looking a little disjointed with all the changes but the lack of effort is unacceptable.
-
I'm getting 0-6 at home against Liverpool vibes here...none of them give a shit tonight..
-
When giving Rogers stick may be worth remembering this is our 51st game of the season and he's started 47 and come on in the other 4. We've flogged him to death.
Agree, anyone saying "flog 'im" on the basis of this game is a fool.
-
Lucky to be 2-0. Unai, has a serious job on now.
-
Dave's children, causing Villa to lose since...
-
The rage, doom and over reactions when we have a bad game are ridiculous.
We score one and they will shit themselves.
Chill out.
how we doing that . . .
-
None existent midfield. Bogarde way off the pace. Tielemans shirking challenges. Rogers and Sancho not involved at all.
The only possible changes I can see is Luiz and Watkins and Abraham up front.
Spurs confidence was clearly low to begin with that’s why our approach so odd. Tammy telling Emi to slow it down etc. Weird game plan
-
An atrocity. An unforgivable display. A showing that should be investigated by the anti-corruption authorities. I'm so ashamed of us.
Diagnosis: Italian!
-
We'll win this 3-2.
There isn’t a second leg to this one Leeg.
-
We'll win this 3-2.
We won’t score a single goal.
-
lets hope that wasn't our good half
-
We'll win this 3-2.
To score, we actually need a shot.
-
Thing is if he subs Olly, Konsa etc on doesnt that completely make his rotation for thursday totally pointless
-
A completely disgusting performance. Not only from a skill point of view, but the lack of effort is unforgivable. The problem is that Unai has let them all know he doesn’t give a shit about this game. They’re matching that energy. I’m absolutely furious.
-
In a way this reminds me of spurs at villa park last season. They had a europa league game straight after, possibly the final, and didn't turn up against us either.
-
XG 0.00
-
It’s been totally awful, but we’re not trying, we don’t give a shit.
It’ll be fine if we get through on Thursday. If not, it will be a disaster now.
-
I’m going to watch the second half despite my anger about it so far.
-
There is no point blaming individual players.. The manager chose this line up .
-
What is with the happy crappy optimists on here. That was fucking abysmal. Shameful. Disgraceful. Appalling. Who comes on here and criticises people for being upset. That was so bad it beggars belief.
-
This is about Thursday night.
-
Their keeper didn't even need to come out for that first half
-
An atrocity. An unforgivable display. A showing that should be investigated by the anti-corruption authorities. I'm so ashamed of us.
Diagnosis: Italian!
E' UNA VERGOGNA CAZZZ
-
Thing is if he subs Olly, Konsa etc on doesnt that completely make his rotation for thursday totally pointless
To be fair they'd only have played 45 minutes instead of 90? So it's still a help.
-
Unai's Moscow?
-
We'll win this 3-2.
We won’t score a single goal.
No, short of something miraculous it looks highly unlikely. We’ve been a disgrace. We haven’t scored for 2 and a half games ffs.
-
They're a little more concerned on KUMB.
Sendo deserves to give us both barrels after we threw that half.
-
Unai's Moscow?
This sounds like it should be a punk album
-
To be honest, Im not surprised and still wont be if we lose the next four games and end up with nothing or maybe the Conference. We're gutless when the pressure is on.
-
Unai's Moscow?
Said that earlier in the thread. He’s risking the house on two games later this week and next.
-
Fucking hate Hoddle.
-
Tielemans and Rogers seem pissed off they were asked to tog out. Tactically RDZ has owned Emery by flooding the middle against our two and letting Mings have the ball. We look the slowest team in the division - Tielemans, Sancho, Barkley, Tammy.
Get next goal and we can make a game of it. But means at least three subs at half time to get some energy into the team. I'd probably go Torres for Mings, Luiz for Bogarde, Ollie for Tammy and Buendia for Sancho.
-
To be honest, Im not surprised and still wont be if we lose the next four games and end up with nothing or maybe the Conference. We're gutless when the pressure is on.
Oh yes. Weirdly, I wouldn't have us any other way.
-
On the flip side, if we do somehow get a result this half it will be very very funny and would hopefully destroy Spurs.
-
We'll win this 3-2.
To score, we actually need a shot.
To have a shot we need to get into their half.
-
We'll win this 3-2.
We won’t score a single goal.
cant see 3 in the next 3 games
-
To be honest, Im not surprised and still wont be if we lose the next four games and end up with nothing or maybe the Conference. We're gutless when the pressure is on.
Gutless!!! that's the word I was looking for....
-
There is no point blaming individual players.. The manager chose this line up .
Emery has fucked up with the line up. That's clearly beyond debate.
However, you certainly can criticise players for putting zero effort in
-
The bbc match stats for the game thus far is horrific.
I thought you were meant to be in the air for this. WiFi on BA? Cos it ain't on Ryanair.
-
All so depressingly predictable
-
It’s does put a lot of pressure on the Burnley match.
-
We'll win this 3-2.
To score, we actually need a shot.
To have a shot we need to get into their half.
To get into their half, we actually need to keep the ball and pass to our own players.
-
It doesn't help that I just don't really like Football much these days.
-
This is about Thursday night.
Yep. Better win.
-
Even Gerrard would be embarrassed by this performance.
-
This is about Thursday night.
we said that against Fulham
-
FFS. Honestly, honestly, if we are going to throw one game this week, it should not be this one. Or we're going to fucking limp towards the end of the season still needing something from the Liverpool game and the City game. The message should have been go all out to get CL football then take a free hit vs Forest. Fucking inexplicable what's gone on here today.
On 5live today they had the usual morons talking about a club about which they neither know anything nor give a shit about, but one made a salient point - despite our position, and despite being in the EL semi, the bad has probably outweighed the good in terms of performance this season.
-
A total lack of effort, just what i was afraid of, a team desperate for points against Villa players who look like they can't be bothered. Strangely Bogarde seems the only Villa player who's trying. We are being played off the park at home by a team who deserve to be relegated. Emery has got this all wrong we are being beaten in every position, Watkins has to come on, but i can see Unai sticking til the sixty minute mark. Oh and Sancho please fck off.
-
This is about Thursday night.
Yep. Better win.
I've just thought of a problem.
-
Maatsen having a stinker.
Who isn’t having a stinker?
Martinez?
Fair. The only one.
-
If any other club performed like that and I’d be thinking there’s match fixing going on. Beyond bad, embarrassing.
-
He's still banking on us beating Burnley.
-
Unai has made a huge call and as brutal as the performance has been, I'm gonna back the Boss. I feel sorry for the Hammers that the fixtures have fallen like this.
-
0 xg, at home, against a team in the bottom three- that is fucking unacceptable and for professional pride sake they better significantly turn it around.
-
This is about Thursday night.
Yep. Better win.
I've just thought of a problem.
Is it the presence of the other team?
-
Even Gerrard would be embarrassed by this performance.
Even Eric Black would be embarrassed by this performance.
-
If Burnley can run then they'll beat us if we play like this
-
Paul Lambert would have been embarrassed
-
Only positive I can see is that Forest will have to go full strength tomorrow. Clutching at small straws.
-
My piss is stronger than this midfield and I drink a lot of tea
-
Paul Lambert would have been embarrassed
McLeish would be proud
-
This is about Thursday night.
Yep. Better win.
I've just thought of a problem.
Is it the presence of the other team?
And the presence of our team.
-
Only positive I can see is that Forest will have to go full strength tomorrow. Clutching at small straws.
Hold up, I have a chaos theory…
-
I remember these ****** singing “your graaands too big fer you you” a decade ago. They are being let off the cunting hook here by a shockingly weak display.
Win the first tackle and put Watkins up front with Tammy. Go for it for fucks sake. Piss about for 20 mins and you’ve lost me a bit.
-
The famous jimmy hogan would ve embarrassed
-
Even allowing for the line-up, this has been staggeringly awful. No intent, no press, no real effort. It's the worst I've witnessed since the season we were relegated.
-
Paul Lambert would have been embarrassed
It’s like playing with 10 Steve Hodges
-
I bet there are no changes at half time.
-
He should make five subs but he won’t
-
Only positive I can see is that Forest will have to go full strength tomorrow. Clutching at small straws.
West Ham are going down, Forest will be fine. Such a shame as we would be doing the world a favour sending Tottenham down and breaking the Sky six up.
-
Please tell me there’s changes. Please. Please. Ideally all 5 and we could claim Bogarde is a concussion on top…
-
Keep the same 11, that works.
-
I remember these ****** singing “your graaands too big fer you you” a decade ago. They are being let off the cunting hook here by a shockingly weak display.

"even your telly's shit" still makes me laugh when they were humping us and the big screens went off.
-
There is no point blaming individual players.. The manager chose this line up .
Emery has fucked up with the line up. That's clearly beyond debate.
However, you certainly can criticise players for putting zero effort in
You can if you want to let him off the hook.Mings, after not playing for weeks Sancho after offering nothing game after game Barkley gone at this level he chose them all in one of the most important games of the season.
-
no fcuking changes
-
We'll win this 3-2.
To score, we actually need a shot.
To have a shot we need to get into their half.
We could shoot from the kick off
-
Barkley has been the worse no 10 I’ve ever seen.
-
We'll concede a third before 55 mins.
-
No subs, Emery has lost his mind.
-
If Burnley can run then they'll beat us if we play like this
These are the consequences, as far as I can see no over reaction going on here whatsoever, Burnley will look at this and fancy giving us an ass kicking for fun, but more importantly Forest will be studying the hell out of this, they will fancy the 2nd leg with no fear and great confidence, they will want this.
Lets wait for a sparkling 2nd half.
-
Balls of steel.
-
It is obvious that Emery is Desperate to win in Europe, he is betting that we already have enough points in the bag for top five.
-
No changes. Jesus. I don’t know if I’ve got 45 more mins of this inside me.
-
We obviously won’t play this team against Burnley but that makes it a high pressure match. And we know how they turn out.
-
Emery definitely not bothered about this game.
-
YEAAAHHHHHHHHH we have a corner. HAHHHHHHHHHHHH HAAAAHHHHHHH, fuck off Jadon.
-
Cornalty!!!
-
Offside from a corner haha
-
Absolutely disgraceful.
No changes
Not good enough
-
Barkley has been the worse no 10 I’ve ever seen.
I reckon I would move faster in the final miles of a marathon
-
How the fuck did we get offside from our corner??
-
I keep feeling like De Zerbi's beard has asked to borrow my laptop.
-
cornerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
This is about Thursday night.
It may be but show some bollocks
-
A fair few have left by the look of it.
-
cornerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t get too excited. We play it short and get caught offside.
-
How the fuck did we get offside from our corner??
Because we are also the football club that found a way to pass it backwards from a goal kick.
-
offside from a corner wtf
-
Sell us your legs Ross.
-
no changes is baffling - Unai, you're losing the plot.
-
That, right there, should never ever happen. This is a bizarrely terrible performance.
-
Offside from a corner haha
I laughed out loud too.
-
Fuck off Sancho you useless twat.
-
We'll win this 3-2.
To score, we actually need a shot.
To have a shot we need to get into their half.
We could shoot from the kick off
And score an own goal?
-
Offside from a corner sums this entire performance up.
-
How the fuck did we get offside from our corner??
Tielemans....
-
Everyone will hate us for doing this too.
-
you have to admit, we have been absolutely stunning...
-
Why hold is shirt next to the lino dickhead.
-
Bailey has grown his hair?
-
Why hold is shirt next to the lino dickhead.
It was completely idiotic
-
Everyone will hate us for doing this too.
Does it matter?
-
barkley looks knackered
-
Ross booked, for pretending to be a footballer.
-
Sancho is having an absolute nightmare. Zero chance we keep him.
-
baileys new change hair might make him a decent footballer
-
Get Bailey on to save us!
-
Everyone will hate us for doing this too.
Too true, my mate is a Liverpool fan he was looking forward more to seeing Villa send down Spurs (at least in part) more than he was the Manure game today.
-
Barkley hasn't legs for PL
-
Sancho is having an absolute nightmare. Zero chance we keep him.
I’d honestly take El Ghazi over Sancho.
-
Abraham is a goalscoring centreforward who can't run.
-
They will score again before we take a shot
-
This side is old and creaking
-
We are absolute pussies - give me Trezeguet and El Ghazi over Sancho any day of the week - and Hourihane v Barkley
-
They will score again before we take a shot
52 minutes gone and I don’t think we’ve had one yet!
-
another awful performance summed up with mings
-
(https://i.ibb.co/kg2GZr4M/IMG-9664.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kg2GZr4M)
It’s almost impossible to be this bad.
-
Has there been a match in the Prem where a team hasn't had a shot at home in a match?
-
Abraham is a goalscoring centreforward who can't run.
Neither could Watkins earlier this season, at least he had an excuse. But to be fair to Tammy, he is there for our brilliant wingers to speed down and cross into the 6 yard box to, not to play as a running at goal striker.
-
I think there’s a few players playing their last games for Billa Villa. Barkley, Mings and maybe Sancho.
-
Abraham, Mings, Sancho off immediately please.
-
i was hoping we'd come out second half with fire in our bellies not ice cubes
-
I think there’s a few players playing their last games for Billa today. Barkley, Mings and maybe Sancho.
We keep saying that
-
Tielemans awful again
-
(https://i.ibb.co/kg2GZr4M/IMG-9664.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kg2GZr4M)
It’s almost impossible to be this bad.
Against one of the worst sides in the league.
At home.
-
I’d keep Abraham on and play Watkins alongside him.
-
I think we need Bailey on to take this performance to the next level
-
Abraham is a goalscoring centreforward who can't run.
Minor issue in modern game
-
I think we need Bailey on to take this performance to the next level
1 rung below
-
We're playing for the loss.
-
Great reaction so far this half....what did Unai say? Go out and be worse..
-
We're playing for the loss.
It’s working.
-
I think we need Bailey on to take this performance to the next level
1 rung below
We might as well to make this a performance for the ages.
-
Sancho is having an absolute nightmare. Zero chance we keep him.
I’d honestly take El Ghazi over Sancho.
[/quotSancho is having an absolute nightmare. Zero chance we keep him.
I’d honestly take El Ghazi over Sancho.
call tonev back
-
This is a joke, what's the fucking point.
Save the legs and default the 3-0 before kick off if this is the best we've got
-
Sancho is having an absolute nightmare. Zero chance we keep him.
I’d honestly take El Ghazi over Sancho.
[/quotSancho is having an absolute nightmare. Zero chance we keep him.
I’d honestly take El Ghazi over Sancho.
call tonev back
Salifou too?
-
I keep going to type something, then something even shitter happens.
-
Unai still hasn’t got over Arsenal has he
-
Barkley jumping out of the tackle
-
why no changes ??
-
Booooooooooooooooooooo
-
Abraham has barely moved all game
-
I don’t think we’ve enough subs to remove the deadwood’s.
-
THIS IS FUCKING SHIT
-
This isn't playing poorly, this is being completely incompetent.
-
Champions league, you’re having a laugh
-
THIS IS FUCKING SHIT
100%
-
DIRE
-
This looks like we've taken a backhander.
-
Here comes Ollie

These freaking commentators making silly stupid statements like Spurs don't look like a team fighting relegation, ffs, of course they don't, they look like this because they have been given all the space and time in the world, put another way if this was any other team in the top 5 today Spurs would get hammered.
-
PASSIVE SHITE
-
EMERY! Fucking do something. This is horrific!
-
Take Mings off FFS.
-
We're appalling. Appalling, in this game. I can't understand it. Like, I could understand being bad or something, but this? This is inexplicable. Non-league sides would be doing better.
-
It's that shitty midfield thats the problem, not the one up front.
-
I fear this is Tyrone’s last game for us. He’s just not good enough now
-
They'll be nobody left on 80 mins...
-
Abraham off
-
There is no fight whatsoever in this team
-
I hate to say it after all he's done for us, but I agree with those saying Mings is done. He actively makes us worse when he plays.
-
1 hour gone 0-2 down to this lot and one change pathetic
-
Our master tactision has yet to make a change to a system that was being overrun from the first minute
-
Abraham is a goalscoring centreforward who can't run.
There's a decent one at Roma who can do a bit of both, wonder if we could do a swap.
-
I'd have tried Ollie and Tammy together, if we're going to lose we may as well at least try something that may be beneficial.
-
Things is, were we to score they’d shit their pants.
-
Abraham looked like a 34 year old carthorse in that game. Not that he touched the ball often.
-
SHOT!!!!!!!
-
Bringing Ollie on. Will we get the ball to him.
-
We have had 5 shots on target across three games.
-
I fear this is Tyrone’s last game for us. He’s just not good enough now
Completely finished at this level. As are Sancho and Barkley.
-
Things is, were we to score they’d shit their pants.
Agree with the theory…
-
Without Mcginn, we have zero leadership on the pitch. I don't think Barkley has won tackle and simply given the ball away every time. We are loosing it in midfield, Unai make changes in that area!!!
-
Abraham off
Maybe he is injured or maybe he isn’t as good as our main bloke even when latter off form
-
Can we get offside again from this corner?
-
We have had 5 shots on target across three games.
That's pretty damning.
-
Things is, were we to score they’d shit their pants.
Agree with the theory…
If it happens, it will happen in the 90th minute
-
What a fucking wanker you are with that tiny boys moustache.
-
We have had 5 shots on target across three games.
That's pretty damning.
In fairness against Bayern, PSG and Barcelona...
Check notes again
Fulham, Forest, Spurs
-
get ross off hes knackered
-
Barkley gets tackled by a man on the ground.
-
Barkley gets dispossessed by a guy fallen to the ground.
-
SHOT!!!!
-
Emery definitely not bothered about this game.
100%
-
Embarrassing from Barkley yet again
-
The most flat footed team in the league
-
Looking slightly better, although the bar is so low Mazrim can see over it.
-
63: Following on from that...
This is now the fewest touches in the opposition box that a team have managed after an hour of a Premier League game this season (1).
-
Barkley looks like he’s running in treacle.
-
To think we were moaning about palace earlier
-
64 mins of unadulterated shit and one sub.
-
Spurs should be embarrassed they've only scored from a long shot and a set piece.
-
What a fucking wanker you are with that tiny boys moustache.
You're right, I'll get the cat to lick it off. Apologies.
-
To think we were moaning about palace earlier
At least they had fuck all riding on the league game and can only make Europe though the cup they are in. We make CL here and it takes the pressure out of winning two massive matches as we are in the CL without needing to win.
-
Fucking hell Emery, you stubborn bastard. Make some fucking changes.
-
Spurs should be embarrassed they've only scored from a long shot and a set piece.
I think I mentioned earlier, they are so bad that it is reflected on being 2-0 up only.
-
This is why we don’t get taken seriously too many shit days like this when we need to turn up.
-
To think we were moaning about palace earlier

Lets not forget the minimum 100ML plus that would go a very long way to a complete team rebuild which is so badly needed.
-
All I can say is, we'd better fucking win the Europa League, Unai.
-
Fucking hell Emery, you stubborn bastard. Make some fucking changes.
Replicating performance of his players
-
As much as we can complain about the starting 11 they should be capabale of looking better than incompetent.
-
SHOT!!
-
This is why we don’t get taken seriously too many shit days like this when we need to turn up.
,1👍
-
The trouble is that Spurs needed the win.
They need it and want it more than us. Emery, for some reason, has put this game out as a sacrifice.
As many have said… it’s Emery’s Moscow.
-
This is why we don’t get taken seriously too many shit days like this when we need to turn up.
There is shit and there is this. It goes way beyond that and all the players on the pitch AND the management team fucking need to make massive fucking apologies in public for the whole nation.
-
Almost exciting for a second.
-
Do we think this lot have the bottle to do the business Thursday night...
-
As much as we can complain about the starting 11 they should be capabale of looking better than incompetent.
If only we have reached the levels of incompetent.
-
Barkley again loses possession under no pressure. A truly awful performance from him.
-
All I can say is, we'd better fucking win the Europa League, Unai.
Yeah, that's the trade off. Need to win Thursday. He has properly put it on Forest tomorrow here. We know what he's doing.
-
The opportunity to virtually secure CL and relegate Spurs and we blew it.
-
Unai looks like a man who's about to walk.
Never seen him look less interested.
-
Forest absolutely rubbing their hands together watching this bunch of bottlers. A game that will be out of sight after 30 minutes. We will shit the bed again for the umpteenth time.
-
The opportunity to virtually secure CL and relegate Spurs and we blew it.
*Chose not to take it
-
The opportunity to virtually secure CL and relegate Spurs and we blew it.
The Spurs bit would have been the bonus. We should have been winning for ourselves first and foremost.
-
Do we think this lot have the bottle to do the business Thursday night...
This time has no fight
-
Barkley is just making up the numbers.
-
All I can say is, we'd better fucking win the Europa League, Unai.
Yeah, that's the trade off. Need to win Thursday. He has properly put it on Forest tomorrow here. We know what he's doing.
Doesn't make much sense as 2 teams are below Forest not just Spurs
-
Basically playing with nine while Barkley and Sancho are on.
-
Different team Thursday
-
Barkley is just making up the numbers.
And is still on the pitch on 73 minutes.
-
Do we think this lot have the bottle to do the business Thursday night...
Not.a.fucking.chance.
-
Unai looks like a man who's about to walk.
Never seen him look less interested.
Blow CL football again in successive seasons and it's more on him than anybody else. He's acting the absolute pr*ck here tonight.
-
Unai looks like a man who's about to walk.
Never seen him look less interested.
More like he knows he’s fucked today up and we’re now under enormous pressure when we didn’t have to be.
-
Barkley was half decent at Luton because it was Luton
-
Arsenal can only dream of a bottle-job like this.
-
I fucking hate life, football, Spurs and Villa in that order.
-
I think we can start the post-match thread now, this ain't changing
-
Is there something happening behind the scenes? Why is Unai just staring there and not making changes or seemingly interested?
-
youri that was pants
-
Forest absolutely rubbing their hands together watching this bunch of bottlers. A game that will be out of sight after 30 minutes. We will shit the bed again for the umpteenth time.
I think they’ll be extremely worried about their own survival after watching this.
-
I fucking hate life, football, Spurs and Villa in that order.
On days like this, Villa are at the top of the list here
-
This is entirely on Emery tonight.
We’d better bloody win on Thursday.
-
Tielemans twin came back after injury, abject
-
Sancho....why??
-
Can't wait for Unais interview. He's gonna murder the the person asking the questions.
-
All I can say is, we'd better fucking win the Europa League, Unai.
Yeah, that's the trade off. Need to win Thursday. He has properly put it on Forest tomorrow here. We know what he's doing.
Doesn't make much sense as 2 teams are below Forest not just Spurs
The gap has reduced from five points to three. It makes perfect sense. What would Forest have done if we won tonight?
-
Fucking hell Tielemans. So half-arsed.
-
Got
To
Stop
Playing
Sancho
-
Can't wait for Unais interview.
Marco Bizot
-
The opportunity to virtually secure CL and relegate Spurs and we blew it.
gutting.
-
How have we only made 1 sub? What is Unai expecting to be different by leaving the likes of Sancho, Bogarde and Barclay on the pitch? I am genuinely shocked by the lack of reaction!
-
Different team Thursday
If McGinn and Onana are fit. If not - how? It will be weaker than last Thursday
-
Can't wait for Unais interview.
Marco Bizot
Point.
-
Can't wait for Unais interview.
He’ll take the blame, say we’re still fighting for CL but ‘is difficult’ and call for the fans to be loud on Thursday.
-
This is bizarrely shit, why hasn't Emery moved or done something?
-
No shots on target and their keeper is pony.
-
Tielemans twin came back after injury, abject
He is definitely "Leicester relegation form" Tielemans since he came back.
-
This is bizarrely shit, why hasn't Emery moved or done something?
Is he still alive??
-
Strange how a season that was so good up to New Years Day has made me feel like this. Its unbelievable. This is embarrasing. Im past livid now, im just resigned to it.
-
Rogers will get sent off here if he not careful
-
I wouldn't mind, but don't we usually play surprisingly badly when the players have had a bit of a rest? When we're all expecting them to be full of beans, they just look even more tired.
-
I don’t think Rogers has found another Villa shirt all night. He’s had as bigger stinker as everyone else.
-
i think the only way this can get worse is if Bailey & Buendia come on and Bogarde & Sancho stay on
-
This is bizarrely shit, why hasn't Emery moved or done something?
Is he still alive??
Does he know there’s a game taking place? A game that if we win, would all but secure us champions league football next season.
-
Different team Thursday
If McGinn and Onana are fit. If not - how? It will be weaker than last Thursday
Thursday is also neither here nor there, it's Villa, it's a semi, we know how it ends, no matter who plays. We should have gone all out to win this one tonight, or we're going to be looking like a right bunch of plums as Bournemouth take the 5th CL spot.
-
Buendia, thank goodness for that
-
i think the only way this can get worse is if Bailey & Buendia come on and Bogarde & Sancho stay on
Doesnt even matter who comes off
-
Yes Bailey and his new hair with guts and great attitude....can't wait.
-
Bendy and Bailey getting ready.
-
Shame all our best Youth team members are out on loan because this is a match to throw them onto. Afterall they can't be any worse the the full pro performances today.
-
I feel sorry for the young fans there.Maybe their first game with a Bank Holiday tomorrow.
-
See everyone leaving now Bailey is coming on
-
We've played with no heart or fight. So what we really need is Leon fucking Bailey.
-
See everyone leaving now Bailey is coming on
Ha
-
81: Some sections of the home support are leaving early here. They've seen enough.
"Is there a fire drill?" ask the Spurs fans.
A load had already left on the 2nd goal and our performance up to that point on the highlights.
-
Remember when we used to shoot from outside the box and even score goals. Good times.
-
So 3 limp defeats and no goals scored. As we fuck up another set piece.
-
Remember when we used to shoot from outside the box and even score goals. Good times.
-
It’s not fair on 43k paying money to watch. Every game thy should be trying to win It’s an absolute disgrace
-
rogers that is crap
-
Remember when we used to shoot from outside the box and even score goals. Good times.
Carragher was right then.
-
Buendia and Bailey coming on as TNT show Villa fans leaving in droves.
What a clusterfuck.
-
Remember when we used to shoot from outside the box and even score goals. Good times.
Ahhh! goals, those were the days.
-
Jesus Christ that free kick was cringe-inducing.
-
Spurs 10 men and a dog.
-
Unai has showed more movement than the Villa tream, and he's just stood there.
-
Bendy for Ross, Bailey for Sancho.
-
It’s not fair on 43k paying money to watch. Every game thy should be trying to win It’s an absolute disgrace
Or at least try to compete. This is the performance of a manager who doesn't want CL because it makes it harder to leave and players who don't want CL because they might get sold on now we can afford better players.
-
Why the fuck did we bring Luiz back.
-
Why the fuck did we bring Luiz back.
Because he once managed six decent months for us.
-
Whats the point with 5 mins left
-
Why the fuck did we bring Luiz back.
Our recruitment under Emery has been really poor, unfortunately.
-
At least Cash and Rogers are trying. How did Barkley and Sancho last 85 minutes?
-
Awful
-
and that wanker gallaher gets to win . . .
-
Why the fuck did we bring Luiz back.
Tielemans got injured
-
Ross stayed on as he won't be playing Thurs.
-
Embarrassing performance. Absolute disgrace from start to finish.
Conserve the energy? The balloon is empty.
-
Ah sod it. I’m angry about this.
I had a dream last night that Forest beat us 4-0 on Thursday and women up furious.
-
Villa in being monumentally shit when we need to put a performance in shocker.
-
No subs at half time and further subs on 85 mins shows how much Emery wanted to get anything today. The trouble being this bad in front of the 40k who will be their Thursday is self defeating. A good win today and we would have got them going from the start.
-
we cant pass at all. awful
-
Barkley, Sancho, Mings, Bogarde - aren't PL quality. This version of Tielemans and Rogers are dreadful too, Emery "sons".
-
Saying....Spurs have been magnificent, seriously, they are playing a back-up team.
-
It puts huge pressure on the rested players to perform on Thursday.
-
Ross stayed on as he won't be playing Thurs.
Was he playing today?
-
West Ham. England. I apologise. Absolutely cack. Worse than cack.
Whats that.now, 4 wins in 15 ?
-
How did Barclay stay on the pitch until the 83rd minute. He's been off the pace all night. Why did we sign Luis on loan and still he can't get ahead of Bogarde!
-
From Beeb
Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham
All eyes are clearly on Thursday night for Villa.
---------------------
Well I am minded to recall the Cure's don't care about you lyric
-
The club really should put out a statement after this debacle. Apologies to Wet Spam and all of the footballing world for this. We fucked up, we know and we’re ashamed.
-
No shot on target...fair play to those left in the stadium...
-
Why the fuck did we bring Luiz back.
Because he once managed six decent months for us.
Really? It's still a level beyond what Barkley has achieved in his career. Sancho is a fraud too. 2 guys who pissed away their careers, stealing a living.
-
Still no shit on target, fucking fannies.
-
This performance is indefensible
Absolutely pathetic. Im livid
-
Why the fuck did we bring Luiz back.
Because he once managed six decent months for us.
Really? It's still a level beyond what Barkley has achieved in his career. Sancho is a fraud too. 2 guys who pissed away their careers, stealing a living.
Barkely should have been mainstay for England prior to Bellingham and Sancho could have been better than Saka. Nowhere near.
-
Prepare yourself fellow Villains. We are gonna get dicked on Thursday. It’s what we do. Shit the Bed FC.
-
Barkley has had a better career than Luiz, by quite a way.
-
It’s the lack of battling that is the worst thing for me.
-
This is his Moscow moment he has to win on Thursday
-

Not sure why those two wankers being shit has anything to do with Luiz.
Luiz was decent for us for six months give or take. The rest of the time he was the Forest version.
-
Its a truly remarkable score and game, absolute crap, its difficult to get anywhere near the depth of this.
-
There's reasonable odds given our percent performances and the opposition we have left that we don't make the final, and don't extend the gap enough to secure CL football. What an absolute fuck up.
-
Barkley has had a better career than Luiz, by quite a way.
By what yardstick? Some potential as a young player at Everton and a reasonable season at a relegated Luton team. Flopped at Chelsea and everywhere else.
-
An execrable display of astonishing incompetence and lack of fight.
-
Feck off, Emery. Feck off, players. Well done, fans, for trying lift a sinking turd.
-
Spurs have got Leeds next wait and see what Leeds do with them
-
Its incredible luiz didnt start this. Emery has totally fucked this up. No subs at halftime was a complete disgrace.
If you want to troll the fans and just demonstrate you dont care about the gane they should refund all the fans who have had to watch that utterlu gutless performance
-
If we end up with nothing this season I’ve a feeling Emery will walk.
-
Prepare yourself fellow Villains. We are gonna get dicked on Thursday. It’s what we do. Shit the Bed FC.
Absolutely. We should have played our proper XI tonight, because resting players for the "important" games never, ever works for us - just the opposite in fact
-
Spurs have got Leeds next wait and see what Leeds do with them
I hope Leeds play with freedom now and stiff them 6.1
-
Spurs are staying up and we’ve given them a massive helping hand. And next season they’ll be challenging again in our space
-
If we end up with nothing this season I’ve a feeling Emery will walk.
It'll be his fault.

Luiz was decent for us for six months give or take. The rest of the time he was the Forest version.
He was in his hole. Was our best midfielder the season we got CL football too, carried this version of Tielemans who couldn't run for months.
-
Barkley has had a better career than Luiz, by quite a way.
By what yardstick? Some potential as a young player at Everton and a reasonable season at a relegated Luton team. Flopped at Chelsea and everywhere else.
Unlike Luiz who was an amazing success at Juve and Forest and can't even get on in tonight's farce.
-
Villa have disgusted me tonight - they can all fuck off.
-
This is his Moscow moment he has to win on Thursday
If this had been away, I would have been slightly less peeved. Instead we have told Forest that a full Villa Park in front of the lights and cameras is piss easy to come and get a result at so don't be scared. And told the home fans we are not worthy to support.
-
If we end up with nothing this season I’ve a feeling Emery will walk.
Well it worked for MON.
-
1-2 Bendy scores
-
How not to prepare for a euro semi final...
-
GOAL
-
I said he scores against these ******
-
Please get the draw
-
First cross.Goal.
-
Now that will have Forest shitting themselves.
-
Why the fuck did we bring Luiz back.

I feel like fraud is your original sin, bronte. We're all born pretenders, spoofers, facsimiles until we publicly batter someone over the head with a widowed pig (and make it clear we'd do so again).
-
If we end up with nothing this season I’ve a feeling Emery will walk.
After tonight im almost at the end of my tether. If he goes would glasner be much worse? At least he signs decent players and his teams dont often play like cowards like this performance today
Tbh i think unais stock his dropping because of things like today
-
Scorchio
-
Super header by Emi. Cash our best today with a super cross, better with his left.
-
Bottlers FC
-
When I saw the team sheet I knew we weren’t taking this seriously
-
Spurs are staying up and we’ve given them a massive helping hand. And next season they’ll be challenging again in our space
Absolutely. We'll be fucking around in the bargain bin trying to find a gem amongst turds, while them and Chelsea will be back in the hunt for the automatic CL spots. The window against team against teams who can spend almost as they want closes fast when we cannot win things as the opportunity arises. Palace for example in almost the same time as Emery have sold loads of good players, yet likely come away with three trophies. They might win anything against post Glasner for 50 years but they did it in their window. Ours might be passing us by again.
-
Super header by Emi. Cash our best today with a super cross, better with his left.
Cash was pretty shit today pal.

Today will be forgotten when we win on Thursday.

Has Connor Gallagher got man of the match? Sums it up.
-
Forget Thursday, we're cooked

It bloody well won’t. This is the worst performance by a Villa team in years. Absolutely disgraceful.
-

It'll be his fault.
If Unai has signed off the players that we have bought in the past few summers then maybe he should go and we start again.
