Surprise line up
Ok not really. Great to see Jack and Tyrone back. Is that Konsa at RB?
-
4 4 1 1?
-
Win please.

-
It is a bit of a surprise line up, to me at least. Jack in at 10 presumably, and Marvellous for Dougie.
-
Is KD broken again?
-
3 at the back with Traore wingback?
-
Ooh,a shake-up
-
3 at the back with Traore wingback?
Frightening thought but he did play that position with Lyon.
-
Konsa at right back, McGinn & Nakamba sitting and Jack as a 10. Interesting.
-
Give the kids a go FFS. If not now, when? And stop wasting a squad place on Barkley.
-
Konsa at right back. Huh.
Welcome back big man.
-
3 at the back with Traore wingback?
The 3 at the back with Traore wingback?
The joke thread is in "Off Topic"
-
Konsa right back I assume. Jack 10 and McGinn & Nakamba holding.
-
Give the kids a go FFS. If not now, when?
That's what I meant in my opening post about not being a surprise. I wanted to see HKK start at RB, not shift our best CB there or a left footed CB there, or a left footed RW as WB.
I suppose with the cup final he might not want to expose them to any possible injury
-
Missed opportunity, if we are going to drop Elmo why change the system or play people out of position when Kesler could get a chance? Unless he's injured.
Fingers crossed we get 20 mins of Chukwuemeka at least.
-
Kesler looks great going forward but chucking him in for his debut against Son is a big ask.
-
He hasn't even
Kesler looks great going forward but chucking him in for his debut against Son is a big ask.
And he hasn't even been on the bench recently, so they obviously don't think he's ready.
-
Great to see Jack starting, I expect it's unlikely he will play the 90, but if he plays 70 odd mins, that'll be good.

There may be a plan to brinh Chuk on for him at 70ish? Smith certainly hinted at it.

4-2 -1 -3

I take your point but he was man of the match against Liverpool I think. He should at least be on the bench instead of Elmo.
-
4-2 -1 -3
Sounds like a GAA score
-
4-2 -1 -3
Sounds like a GAA score
Hopefully with either of the Dublin or Kerry football teams getting the 1-3 !!
-
3 at the back with Traore wingback?
Not serious, but however they line up I can see Hojbjerg and Alli having a field-day through our soft centre.
-
4 4 1 1?
3-1-3-1-2
Marvelous
Traore McGinn Targett
Jack
Watkins El Ghazi
-
Come on Villa.
-
Was it Ryan Mason who crocked Benteke at VP?
-
Was it Ryan Mason who crocked Benteke at VP?
I think he got him sent off.
-
Was it Ryan Mason who crocked Benteke at VP?
Got him sent off. Pushed Benteke and was shouting in his face and Benteke pushed him back in the face (and Mason acted like he'd taken one from Tyson).
-
3 at the back with Traore wingback?
Noooooooooooo
-
Give the kids a go FFS. If not now, when? And stop wasting a squad place on Barkley.
SKY said pre match that tonight was the last time Barkley was eligible to play for us.
-
Bollox!
-
Atrocious Nakamba.
-
Gifted to them
-
How many luckt bounces did he have before scoring?
-
Marvellous? Huh!
-
Dire from Hause too. That's why we're mid table. The squad is poor.
-
Nakamba you twat, control the ball.
-
Oh dear Marv
-
FFS
-
Nowhere near the standard required from Marv unfortunately.
-
Anybody surprised?
-
Piss poor from Nakamba, should've been in control of that.
-
Piss weak from Marv and McGinn
-
Two opportunities to take him out not taken.
-
Why the fuck is Nakamba even playing. Bloke can’t play football. Utterly, utterly shit.
-
Here we go. Always lose to fucking Spurs. Marv just is not up to it.
-
Ridiculously outclassed so far, and Smith's
tactics tactic being undone by a 29 year old rookie. I wonder if Jack will want to stick around for more of this.
-
Can't wait for this season to be over.
-
Hasn’t scored in 41 games, peak Villa.
-
Dire from Hause too. That's why we're mid table. The squad is poor.
We are so careless at times. But saying the squad is poor is easy. We make it way easier than it should be.
-
Luckily, we’ve got Nakamba as defensive midfield tonight...oh wait, perhaps not!! We just look so casual it’s unbelievable.
-
Several players not dealing with it, but Nakamba is not a player for our future.
-
Not so super John McGinn didn't anticipate and help either.
-
FFS Nakamba.
This is all very predictable.
-
Good start.
Chris Coleman as co-commentator has a very annoying habit of repeating himself, often not just once but twice, virtually every time he has anything to say.
-
I didn't think, before xmas, that I'd end up wishing the season would hurry up and finish, but I do.
-
And people been criticising Doug for months on end, that's the alternative.
Please sell Nakamba in the summer, simply not good enough.
-
Anybody surprised?
Actually yes, don’t be a tit
-
This is dire already. Said that quite a lot since Christmas, thanks to Dismal Dean.
-
That’s a pen
-
That's a penalty
-
Second half of the season has been a horror show.
-
surely thats a pen
-
Surprise surfucking prise.
-
Fuck off! How did that thick ****** Kane get one at Villa Park?! He's fucking taken him out.
-
Watkins taken out. FUCK VAR. It's only for Man United in any case.
-
That's a penalty
-
That's a fucking penalty. Shower of fucking shit.
-
That’s a ducking penalty
-
Good start.
Chris Coleman as co-commentator has a very annoying habit of repeating himself, often not just once but twice, virtually every time he has anything to say.
And he talks total bollox
-
Course it’s not a pen. They’re a European super league team.
-
I don't think it's a penalty, but you can bet your arse it would've been at the other end.
-
Ridiculously outclassed so far, and Smith's tactics tactic being undone by a 29 year old rookie. I wonder if Jack will want to stick around for more of this.
That's what I've been most critical of when it comes to Smith. Even if your best players aren't in the side (and today he is) the drop off should never be this steep. It's been shit so far in large part because we look unprepared.
-
nkamba is still asleep just saw smith screaming at him to get into position
-
Fucking shocking decision, how is that any different to the one Kane was gifted?
-
To borrow from Platoon, the gap in our centre was so big you could march a whole company through it.
Is there anything else on? This match is already done i fear.
-
So Keane falls over Cash and it’s a stonewall pen but that’s not. Corrupt as fuck
-
Where is fucking VAR?
-
If that was Kane at the other end, we all know ir would have been given.
It reminded me of the one Kane "won" at VP earlier this season.

We don’t look bothered so far
-
They're not even pretending that we aren't being cheated any more.
-
Didn't Kane fall onto a villa player when ball was about to go out in the other game?
-
Football is corrupt to the core. How the fuck is that not a penalty?
-
Where is fucking VAR?
Near London !
-
Fucking shocking decision, how is that any different to the one Kane was gifted?
Exactly.
-
Didn't Kane fall onto a villa player when ball was about to go out in the other game?
As did the weasel faced prick Fernandes on to Konsa
-
Utterly bizarre. What is going on!
-
Traore again..for fucks sake keep hold of the ball
-
Referees should be made to explain their decisions after the games.
-
Stonewall penalty. It’s getting beyond ridiculous with VAR.
-
Why the fuck is Nakamba even playing. Bloke can’t play football. Utterly, utterly shit.
Shouldn't have been selected. He's shown nothing in the past 6 months to suggest he's good enough. A shuffling of the chairs on the Titanic selection. Poor from the manager.
-
Football is corrupt to the core. How the fuck is that not a penalty?
Afraid I must agree. That shower should be punished for ESL. Not going to hold my breath.
-
What a joke of a decision.
Harry Kane does that and its a pen
-
I'm also not sure how Reguilon pushing Konsa in the back 4-5 times was allowed either.
-
Just tuning in. This is an asinine lineup.
-
Cash tweeted tweeted away "how's that not a pen"
-
I believe today’s VAR ref is our ‘friend’ Kevin Friend.
-
Apparently it's been 52 away games since we've won from being a goal down.
-
What a joke of a decision.
Harry Kane does that and its a pen
Again, Ollie needs to scream and grab his leg, just like Harry, just like Fernandes.
Scandalous. They’re not even hiding the fact they’re cheating anymore.
-
There is basically no point watching the rest of this match.
Or, thinking about it, this season.
-
so yesterday VAR doesn't disallow an offside goal for Man U. Today they deny a stonewall pen against Spurs. It's beyond a fucking joke
-
Despite yeh goal we are playing ok
-
I don't think it's a penalty, but you can bet your arse it would've been at the other end.
Why not?
-
Hahahaha
-
Get in.
-
I believe today’s VAR ref is our ‘friend’ Kevin Friend.
In that case, I'm surprised Ollie wasn't booked for diving.
-
Yesssss
-
What a fuckig great goal
-
Easy does it 1-1
-
1-1 top bins
-
Hah! Take that you cheating fucks!
-
Even the Graun MBM noted the Kane thing in the return fixture. Utter hypocritical starfucking bollocks from our spineless sycophantic excuses for officials.
Other than that, this has been shockingly poor so far. Very badly need to pick it u- AHAHAHAHA
-
hilarious. Fuck Spurs
-
Dismal Dean's team step it up eh.
-
Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
-
What a strike!
-
Wonder volley that.
-
Karma at it's finest!
-
Didn't Fernandez stand on Konsa and still won a pen?
Yes, OG!!!!
-
Assist Nakamba with a shit cross
-
Great finish
-
Haha, sign him up and play him up front.
-
Grateful VAR didn’t disallow it
-
I bet VAR is thinking about giving it offside against us or a handball against Martinez.
-
That is some own goal!
-
Blimey, we get a slice of luck. I bet Friend is doing his best to locate a push somewhere in the build up.
-
Coleman sounds suicidal.
-
We'll be seeing that one for fucking years.
-
Sign that man, better shot player than any of ours!!
-
It would be nice now if we had some possession for a bit FFS
-
Pretty sure it was going in before the slight deflection, great goal Marvelous.
-
Karma is great
-
Fair for me, both goals were massive defensive errors and we've been decent since their goal.
-
Ha ha you fucking donkey
-
Nakamba’s goal. On target for sure!
-
Well done Marvelous
-
What a finish from Reguilon. Simply magnificent!!
-
Pretty sure it was going in before the slight deflection, great goal Marvelous.
Ace !
-
There’s still time. I think we need hear the conversations that go on between the ref and Stockley Park.
-
Karma is great
You took the words right out my mouth
-
Haha that was great.
Been a really good response since the goal tbf, Konsa great at RB aswell.
-
Liquid football last couple of mins
-
Jack just makes us tick don't he?
-
Well well, despite being an own goal and we being denied a clear penalty and some of the rubbish on here, we deserved that. We’re playing some good football so let’s get behind them
-
Stupid kick off time. What have I missed?
-
We look up for this
-
ITS ALL VILLA!!
-
Regullion is a dirty shit.
-
Well well, despite being an own goal and we being denied a clear penalty and some of the rubbish on here, we deserved that. We’re playing some good football so let’s get behind them
Pop at fans chatting about a game in real time....nice.
-
Which channel has crowd noise on?
-
Loyal Spurs fans getting on their backs already.
-
Regullion is a dirty shit.
He's ok leave him alone.
-
How good to see Jack back
-
Regullion is a dirty shit.
He's ok leave him alone.
Need to get the ball to him more often with finishing like that.
-
Blimey, all that ending up blowing my pre-match forecast out of the water!
-
You know what, if we were better at football, we'd be winning this.
-
Spurs fans moaning, not like them at all?
-
You know what, if we were better at football, we'd be winning this.
been saying that about us for the past 30 years
-
Was it an Ollie pen?
-
We are playing quite well so far, would love to see us batter these.
-
Nakamba's first touch is a tackle again
-
We are playing quite well so far, would love to see us batter these.
I agree, Grealish is comfortably the best player on the pitch, McGinn is bossing the midfield and they're shit scared of Watkins.
-
Konsa looks comfortable at RB.
-
Spurs are there for the taking. Just depends how much our players want it.
-
Nakamba's first touch is a tackle again
It's like his foot is a 50p piece
-
There is basically no point watching the rest of this match.
Or, thinking about it, this season.
Fuckin hell take a chill pill mate
-
Marv looks a bit rusty
-
Marv looks a bit rusty
Nope. That's him in top form
-
Mings did well there to bail out McGinn
-
There is basically no point watching the rest of this match.
Or, thinking about it, this season.
Fuckin hell take a chill pill mate
It's the beauty of supporting the Villa. So rarely do you have to take the rough with the smooth.
-
Konsa looks comfortable at RB.
He's being kept out the England squad by Dire. Fucking Dire.
-
Marv looks a bit rusty
Rusty? He looks like the Tin Man during an oil price crisis.
-
Why does El Ghazi so often think he can physically run through players? They need to play Star Trekkin in the dressing room before the game: ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics...
-
Nice to not have a co-commentator slate us every five minutes.
-
Hope John Mac is ok, looked in a bit of discomfort there. He's been excellent so far.
-
Did I just hear Chris Coleman say Nakamba's running the show.
-
Did I just hear Chris Coleman say Nakamba's running the show.
Alongside the rest of the midfield yes.
-
Nakamba's first touch is a tackle again
It's like his foot is a 50p piece
Unattached rusty 50 pence piece.
-
Why does El Ghazi so often think he can physically run through players? They need to play Star Trekkin in the dressing room before the game: ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics...
In his head he is Cristiano Ronaldo
-
I didn't recognise Delle Alli with his new Jack Sparrow look. Did I maybe see Jack tapping him up there?
-
That’s a fucking booking on jack
-
Did I just hear Chris Coleman say Nakamba's running the show.
precisely why Coleman is no longer a club manager
-
That's a fucking horrendous tackle on Jack and yellow card. But nope we will get one in a minute for nothing at all no doubt
-
He is awful in every way,
-
Stupid kick off time. What have I missed?
Lately there have been a number of 'double headers' with TV games kicking off at 6pm and 815pm.
-
Get the fuck in
-
Yes yes yes
-
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
-
Yes Ollie, we deserve that.
-
Ollie Ollie Ollie Oy Oy Oy!!!
-
Let's fucking goooooooooo!
-
FUCK OFF COMMENTATOR. "Once again Ollie Watkins has scored against one of the big boys" FUCK RIGHT OFF
-
Ollieeeeeeeee
-
Brilliant from Traore to create the chance, he's having a good game tonight.
-
I love you Ollie
-
Magic! Where’s the channel with the fake crowd noise?
-
Well done Traore.
-
Twice Bert doing good work stuff... could improve
-
Magnificent Ollie!
Now come on boys let's keep it going.
-
Their number 3 is having the ultimate fucking nightmare
-
High press forces goals. Though I think we're going to have to assign Reguilon Agent Status, what a half he's had.
-
FUCK OFF COMMENTATOR. "Once again Ollie Watkins has scored against one of the big boys" FUCK RIGHT OFF
Think you’re watching the same coverage as me!
-
These are shit, we're all over them.
-
Jacks diving at the mo and it ain’t helping
-
These are shit, we're all over them.
Big 6?
Big shit more like.
-
“Things Aston Villa fans do not want to see - Jack Grealish left in a heap on the ground.
Japhet Tanganga fouls the former Irishman but escapes a booking”
Just taken straight off the bbc text feed. Ffs
-
I would love to beat Spurs. Absolutely detest them.
-
FUCK OFF COMMENTATOR. "Once again Ollie Watkins has scored against one of the big boys" FUCK RIGHT OFF
Think you’re watching the same coverage as me!
Yep Andy Townsend co commentator. He's trying not to say we or us when referring to Villa. He doesn't hide it in the studio
-
Spurs are shitting it.
-
FUCK OFF COMMENTATOR. "Once again Ollie Watkins has scored against one of the big boys" FUCK RIGHT OFF
Think you’re watching the same coverage as me!
I objected to this too. Sure he's scored against Liverpool and Arsenal, but how are these 'big boys'? Give me a break.
-
We've been by far the better side since they scored.
-
FUCK OFF COMMENTATOR. "Once again Ollie Watkins has scored against one of the big boys" FUCK RIGHT OFF
Think you’re watching the same coverage as me!
Yep Andy Townsend co commentator. He's trying not to say we or us when referring to Villa. He doesn't hide it in the studio
Is that Andy Townsend?
-
They are trying to kill Jack.
-
Spurs fans aren’t happy, that makes me very happy.
-
leave a few in on kane lets see how his ankle takes it
-
Hope Southgate is there watching Ollie, because that goal was superb. His knockdown with his head to play the ball into his own path away from the defender was sublime.
-
CHEERS!!! Watkins scored
JEERS... I forgot to play my usual minute for GTG
-
Jacks diving at the mo and it ain’t helping
No he isn't, he's going down under contact just like most players. The difference between Grealish and most others is he invites tackles and then whips the ball away and players either fall for it or back off and give him space to carry into.
-
Spurs don't like to be pressed deep at all.
-
Does anybody else think that having fans in the ground is putting a lot of pressure on Spurs?
-
FUCK OFF COMMENTATOR. "Once again Ollie Watkins has scored against one of the big boys" FUCK RIGHT OFF

Nice to have an ex Villa player in the commentary/coverage that doesn’t hate us.
-

He’s at Everton
-
Does anybody else think that having fans in the ground is putting a lot of pressure on Spurs?
Ha ha
-
Watching this you wonder why we didn't do just this against Palace for a full game. Helps of cousre having Jack all game. I hope we don't stop playing this high up in the second. We let them play freely we will lose.
-
Spurs fans aren’t happy, that makes me very happy.
They just gave it the "we want levy out" chant. We've got these fukkers rattled. Big 6 may arse.
-

Shame
-
Fuck off Kane you snide ******
-
Fuck me Bert, take a shot
-
Should be 3
-
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK AEG you have to fucking score
-
El Ghazi has been shit.
-
Traore has put his laces through that.
-
Oh, Anwar
-
Terrible finish by El Ghazi there.
Let's not have a repeat of Sunday. Got to be more clinical. Finish these off.
-
The message has to be keep the pressure up on their back line. They are absolutely in full bottle mode
-
Unlucky Anwar
-
King Egbert grabs Mings' arm and gets the free kick, FFS.
We are going to rue these missed chances. It's like we've set up for a backs to the wall game and all these chances are taking us completely by surprise.
-
Good half, no reason why last eight games shouldn’t have been like this
-
McGinn is fucking killing them with his one man high press
-
Fuck me Ollie close again. Fucking hell
-
Seeing Jack back in the starting line up and us playing like this frustrates a bit. We'd have made Europe had he not been injured.
-
Kane the cheating prick, grabbing Mings to make it look like he was being held.
I hope he ends up at Middlesborough.
-
Traore has to be passing that first time.
-
Chris Coleman summed it up "Tottenham are at sixes and sevens". Spurs walking off to boos from the crowd.
-
After their goal that was just superb. We should once again like at Palace be miles ahead
-
This games there to be won. Big six? These are fucking garbage.
-
Why did we start Ross for so many games.
-
Boo-boo, lol.
-
Didn't want the half time whistle to go, we have absolutely battered Spurs.
-
Good performance that, just keep it up lads
-
How many chances do we need to put the game to bed? We should be winning 1-5 comfortably.
-
Booed off.
Every bit as plastic as Man City.
Love this!
-
We've been on them like stink on a skunk. Boos at the Lane. Fucking lovely stuff, please please please keep it up Villa.
-
Kane the cheating prick, grabbing Mings to make it look like he was being held.
I hope he ends up at Middlesborough.
The last thing we need is another one of our defenders ending up at Boro.
-
That could have been another penalty, if Watkins doesn't get taken out as he takes the shot he would've had a tap in.
-
must say - fookig brilliant half .. McGinn possesed , Jack look good , Bertie working hard , Minngs got Kane inn his pocket - could have been 4 or 5 .. Brilliant . .
-
Keep it up Villa! Would love to beat these
-
Jack is back. The team raises its game. We look class.
It’s a simple equation.
-
Absolutely woeful start followed a really good performance. Should have scored more.
-
Well well, despite being an own goal and we being denied a clear penalty and some of the rubbish on here, we deserved that. We’re playing some good football so let’s get behind them
Pop at fans chatting about a game in real time....nice.
And fans continually “popping” at the team after 5 minutes of a 90 minute match is “nice” ???
-
Jack is back. The team raises its game. We look class.
It’s a simple equation.
JG's playing between the lines and picking the ball up with such ease.
-
Much better, much better, much fecking better.
The angrier Dean gets the better we get.
Keep it up lads. :)
-
Targett needs to buck his ideas up, their left back (one goal and an assist in 45 minutes) is making him look a dunce.
-

Let it go. Just enjoy the game.
-
I feared a hatful after the first goal but we've grown well into the game despite being fucking cunting bastarding cheated AGAIN!
-
Gareth Bale's next move should be interesting. Real Madrid don't want him back permanently and I doubt Spurs will extend his loan or buy him outright.
-
Booed off.
Every bit as plastic as Man City.
Love this!
Super League, though!
-
Great great half.
We will finish above them next season if they lose Kane.
Only hope DS reacts in time though if they bring on likes of Ndombele or Lucas Moura though as can't believe how easy it's been for us to play through them centrally.
Bertrand Traore would be world class if he just learnt you don't need to take 30 touches on the ball before making a decision sometimes!!
-
Wow, we are absolutely battering them. AEG should have finished the game, that was a bit of a sitter and thought with his current form he would have shown a bit more conviction.
He's probably about 50% fit but even at that, Grealish is in a different class. Spurs can't get near him. McGinn and Watkins bullying them. Everyone playing well really.
-
Was it Ryan Mason who crocked Benteke at VP?
Got him sent off. Pushed Benteke and was shouting in his face and Benteke pushed him back in the face (and Mason acted like he'd taken one from Tyson).
Oh, yes. thx for your memory-banks .... mine are obviously shot!
-
When we're on it there isn't a more exciting team in the division
-
Gareth Bale's next move should be interesting. Real Madrid don't want him back permanently and I doubt Spurs will extend his loan or buy him outright.
The PGA Tour then probably.
-
Several players not dealing with it, but Nakamba is not a player for our future.
I have to say, I think he's been quite good since his early-doors brain-fart.
-
I commented that Grealish looked off the pace in the last game, but today he looks like hes never been away.
-
Why did we start Ross for so many games.
Because Jack was injured
-
Kane the cheating prick, grabbing Mings to make it look like he was being held.
I hope he ends up at Middlesborough.
The last thing we need is another one of our defenders ending up at Boro.
Ha, fuck me I love Tyrone, no way I'd wish that on him!
-
Gave up watching when we conceded early on.
Just switched the radio on 2-1 up.
I will NOT be watching the 2nd half.
Doing my bit.
-
Great great half.
We will finish above them next season if they lose Kane.
Only hope DS reacts in time though if they bring on likes of Ndombele or Lucas Moura though as can't believe how easy it's been for us to play through them centrally.
Bertrand Traore would be world class if he just learnt you don't need to take 30 touches on the ball before making a decision sometimes!!
I think soon into the 2nd half we need to tighten the MF by bringing off a wide players and bringing in an extra midfielder...
...and don't wait till we concede!
-
Jack is back. The team raises its game. We look class.
It’s a simple equation.
JG's playing between the lines and picking the ball up with such ease.
[/quote
And playing in his best position rather than out wide left
-
Konsa looks comfortable at RB.
He's being kept out the England squad by Dire. Fucking Dire.
He's absolutely shite, dire even
-
I still can't get over that penalty decision.
-
David Jones, Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards in the SKY studio suggesting that tonight Spurs have scored the own goal of the season.
-
What a fantastic example of pressing. We've squeezed the life out of them. The quality may not be there but nobody can fault our commitment.
-
Watkins's goal was a re run of one at everton.
-
Does anybody else think that having fans in the ground is putting a lot of pressure on Spurs?
Ha ha
Yep and those boos at HT were wonderful.
-
Gareth Bale's next move should be interesting. Real Madrid don't want him back permanently and I doubt Spurs will extend his loan or buy him outright.
The PGA Tour then probably.
Probably the Saudi Tour. Not enough money for him on the PGA.
-
I missed the first 10 minutes, and it feels like we've absolutely bossed it. I can't believe they've had 60% of the possession??
Just before Ollie's goal I was thinking "Why do we always look so uncomfortable under a press, but teams always handle our press so easily?" Shows how much I know...
It could be as simple as the "Jack" effect, but we look REALLY good going forward. Now to put two good 45 minutes together for a solid full-game performance. It's been a while...
-
Great great half.
We will finish above them next season if they lose Kane.
Only hope DS reacts in time though if they bring on likes of Ndombele or Lucas Moura though as can't believe how easy it's been for us to play through them centrally.
Bertrand Traore would be world class if he just learnt you don't need to take 30 touches on the ball before making a decision sometimes!!
I think soon into the 2nd half we need to tighten the MF by bringing off a wide players and bringing in an extra midfielder...
...and don't wait till we concede!
Doug is a must for the second half. Hope DS has learnt from Sunday and you are allowed to make changes when you're leading in a game away from home.
Would take off AEG as from what I've seen so far Traore and Jack floating off Ollie they simply can't handle with their midfield structure.
-
Why did we start Ross for so many games.
Because Jack was injured
We had other players. Jack has a made a HUGE difference this game but not having Ross misplacing most of his passes has also been a massive help. We are on fire.
-
you think If we got a top DM in and a top winger upgrading on Nakamba and Anwar how good we could be :)
Just keep it up now Villa
-
Big big fucking half now, we've been in this position at Burnley and Palace before and then been awful 2nd half.
Huge chance for Smith to show he's learning.
Jack fucking ran that midfield.
-
Jack is back. The team raises its game. We look class.
It’s a simple equation.
He brings us so much more than just his ability. He gives us the confidence to play not just ten, twenty yards further up the pitch. We're pressing their fullback positions with four or five players. The midfield passing is crisper because there's always an out ball. Everything we do is better simply because he's there.
Please, McGrath, let me be still posting these same comments in five years time.
-
We should smell blood now.
Time to become ruthless. A third goal and they’ll be walking out, the fickle twats.
-
We've seen halves like that hundreds of times over the years.
1: Played outstanding.
2: Should be comfortably winning, but aren't.
3: Expect the same intensity in the second, but we come out and play completely different.
4: Opposition side who should have took a beating in the first come out and play like Barcelona in the second.
Surely, it's not going to happen again? Come on Villa give them a hammering!

Do Doug for AEG at 65min?

The own goal was the 1,000 in premier league history apparently.

29 of them are sublime though.
-
Ok let’s get 3-1 up and get Chuck on
-
I hadn’t realised Kevin Friend is on VAR. That explains all we need to know.
-
I commented that Grealish looked off the pace in the last game, but today he looks like hes never been away.
He's still not getting away from players like he would usually but his weight of pass, his positioning to receive the ball, his movement....its on another level. Making a mug out of Winks and Hojberg...he makes every other player 20% better instantly....might tire a bit after another 15mins or so
-
I still can't get over that penalty decision.
Was that early in the game, or did I blink and miss it?

I'd love us to bring on Wesley and Chuk for the 2 wingers with about half an hour to go and give Jack a completely free role for a little while.
-
I hope Spurs give Ryan Mason the job full time, he's doing a great job.
-
They will surely put Moura on early in number 10 position. Thought he was their MOTM at VP and he's miles above this version of Dele Alli who looks as finished as Barkley does.
And Ndomble gives them more strength than Winks so DS needs to be alert and be prepared for those changes rather than having a 10 minute chat with Terry and Cutler while we lose momentum in second half.
-
So what's the spread on the Spurs equaliser and winner? I'll go for 2-2 on 48' and 3-2 on 53'.
-
I still can't get over that penalty decision.
Is Kevin Friend in the VAR box?
-
you think If we got a top DM in and a top winger upgrading on Nakamba and Anwar how good we could be :)
Think the way he's played 1st half, apart from losing possession in the run up to their goal, Nakamba had a good half with McGinn running the midfield. Think he's a squad player for next year.
Just keep it up now Villa
-
The own goal was the 1,000 in premier league history apparently.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/57001671
It was certainly worthy of the occasion.
-
What a save from Emi
-
El Ghazi is a championship player
-
Great save Emi.
-
Go after them Villa. Do not sit back.
-
Son wasn't involved at all in the first half, Konsa completely nullified him so they've moved him central, we need to watch out for that.
-
El Ghazi is a championship player
One that had scored nearly 10 goals in the PL
-
Another good save from Emi.
Game getting stretched
-
We are all over the place again here. What does he say to them at half time?
-
I still can't get over that penalty decision.
Was that early in the game, or did I blink and miss it?
Didn't even discuss it in studio at HT. Just got accidentally mentioned by Redknap
-
El Ghazi is a championship player
One that had scored nearly 10 goals in the PL
He's properly inconsistent.
-
Nakamba has to take Kane down there and take yellow.
-
Laughable from El Ghastly.
-
El Ghazi is a championship player
One that had scored nearly 10 goals in the PL
He's properly inconsistent.
That almost doesn't make sense.
-
I feel like we need Carney as opposed to El Ghazi...
-
Need to bolster the midfield now
-
Laughable from El Ghastly.
El Ghastly? Fucking hell
-
Need to tighten the midfield now.
-
El Ghazi is a championship player
One that had scored nearly 10 goals in the PL
He's properly inconsistent.
That almost doesn't make sense.
Ta. I do try.
-
Does Harry Kane ever close his mouth?
-
They had no choice but to have a go having been booed off, just need to ride the storm and hit them on the break
-
We are all over the place again here. What does he say to them at half time?
Spurs were garbage first half, it's no surprise they've started much better second half, but we still look dangerous in the final third...
-
AEG decisions are awful.
Please take him off
-
We've got to keep doing what we were doing in the first half. Front foot, pressing forward.
Their defence is all over the shop whenever we go at them.
-
what a turn from SJM
-
McGiniesta doing what he does there... lovely.
-
fuck me. Konsa's hamstring better not have gone.
-
McGinniesta
-
This half so far shows up my problem with Nakamba, the technical limitations are obvious but it's his reading of the game that really bothers me. He is always 2-3 yards away from where he should be. That understanding of the game is the key to being effective in the shielding role he's there to fill.
Oh and that skill by McGinn was pure dirt.
-
better than zidane!
-
Coleman is a twat, the referee didn't give it, the lino did
-
Well tracked back Marv
-
Brilliant from Marv there. He's doing OK.
-
Great play Nakamba
-
Im concerned with el ghazis finishing that could cost us
-
Traore close!
-
Great effort from Traore.
Mings seems to have Kane in his pocket.
-
oooooooohhh Bert close
-
Close that! Excellent from SJM again.
-
I’ll be much happier if we make it 3-1
-
McGinn's having a lot of fun today
-
We definitely need a player who can take better free kicks and corners.
-
Nearly Bert
-
McGinn unplayable
-
Regullion is a dirty shit.
I agree
I want the regullion of the 1st half
-
We need this next goal
-
Pure filth my mcginn
-
We look so dangerous going forward.
-
They really hate it when Jack gets the ball in their box
-
I sometimes think a recurring problem with us is we aren't street smart or savvy enough and we can be naive.
But so far tonight we have been pretty streetwise.
-
Some of the refing has been laughable
-
Spurs player slips over by himself and gets a free kick.
-
I’m actually enjoying watching this tonight. Feels like we’ve got a bit of a swing back.
It’s open and entertaining. Will be happier if we can get a 3rd though. At the moment, could go either way.
-
Dirty Spurs ****** with afters on Jack
-
Booooooo hahaha
-
I wish Bert wouldn’t try to walk the ball in.
-
Traore is determined to score a worldy tonight....
-
Bloody hell Bert. Shoot FFS
-
Traore what you waiting for Christmas! Shoot!
-
Dirty Spurs ****** with afters on Jack
Tanganga, no idea how he hasn't been booked yet.
-
Traore takes too many touches. Just fucking shoot!
-
Ollie ffs
-
Ollie was offside there
-
Traore is determined to score a worldy tonight....
He is isn't he. Trying to do a Ricky Villa.
-
You know what is gonna happen here.
-
Bert is such a great player. I’m sure Dean will get the best out of him
-
Ollie was offside there
Lovely dive alli
-
25 million touches Traore. He's cost us 2 certain goals by over playing it.
-
Dele is auditioning for Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
-
We need to score a third here because I am naturally massiveky concerned about the very obvious happening
-
25 million touches Traore. He's cost us 2 certain goals by over playing it.
I agree i dint get why he just dossnt keep it simple.
Such a frustrating player
-
Dele is auditioning for Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
He needs a big fat joint just to finish off the look.
-
25 million touches Traore. He's cost us 2 certain goals by over playing it.
He also earned us one and has played really well.
-
Its difficult to work out Nakamba isint it.
-
Time to think about us making subs?
-
Come on score third before bale comes on !
-
Traoré is a throwback to the likes of Denilson - he misses easy chances that only he and his magic could have created in the first place.
-
We need to score a third here because I am naturally massively concerned about the very obvious happening.
We've created and been gifted so many opportunities to bury them. If it happens we have only got ourselves to blame.
-
SJM more subdued this half.
-
Matt Targett, quality
-
Might need to get luiz on very soon
-
SJM more subdued this half.
??
-
Marv has actually been excellent this half
-
Nakamba has been marvellous.
-
Now they're trying to sell Ollie for us!
-
Get your card out you twat
-
Grealish was fantastic tonight.
-
Doug coming on for Jack!!!!!!!!
I suppose it makes some sense but I really hope with them bringing on Bale it doesn't makes us drop deeper and deeper.
-
SJM more subdued this half.
??
Swashbuckling first half...at his best...a little quieter this half....holding a little deeper I think.
-
Fuck. I didn't want us to make that change.
-
Luiz for jack omg nit a good sub
We have no creativity
-
What Marv is great at is winning tackles, breaking up play. Exactly what we lacked against Palace.
His distribution can be lacking but that tenacity is priceless in the centre.
-
Great 70 minutes from Jack
-
Ffs targett
-
Bale hat-trick?
-
I fear 20 minutes of the alamo.
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
-
Coleman talking about Watkins needing to overtake Wesley to become our 9, except for the 16months injury layoff.
-
SJM more subdued this half.
He's been the best player on the pitch IMO.
-
How have Winks and Tanganga not been booked for them?
-
Clever foul Duggee
-
Goid tactical foul luiz 👍
-
Hope we don't lose composure now on the ball without Jack, he just gives so much confidence to the other players it's untrue.
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
Excuse me?!?!
-
Brilliant emi
-
Kane is some player.
-
Please not again Villa.
-
Awful by nakamba
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
Not sure I like the sound of that
-
Awful by nakamba
-
Kane is some player.
He is, they are going to miss him
-
How many fouls by Spurs? Is it 1 card?
-
Spurs 12/1 if you're brave enough.....
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
Excuse me?!?!
Bale
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
Not sure I like the sound of that
Not sure I do either.
-
Fuck em Villa keep them OUT.
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
Excuse me?!?!
Bale
Ok fine. But you can easily see how badly that post could be interpreted, no??
-
We are too deep.
-
It really is unhealthy how much this team makes my arse clench up.
-
I don't want to watch the rest.
-
We are not pressing come on Villa
-
Allowing ourselves to fall deep. Got to keep playing.
-
I fucking hate this tactic. We went from being the much better side in the first half to no longer having the ball.
-
Spurs 12/1 if you're brave enough.....
Double it up with a penalty award.
-
Is winning or bringing on youth more important? I'm surprised Chukwuemeka didn't come on instead of Luiz.
-
This final 10 is going to feel like 45.
-
Weapon was fouling El Ghazi!
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
Excuse me?!?!
Bale
Ok fine. But you can easily see how badly that post could be interpreted, no??
Agreed - it was probably a bit too cryptic.
-
How the hell is that a Spurs free kick? I’m glad that Spurs ****** has hurt himself fouling AEG
-
Fair play El Ghazi, scrapping away.
-
It really is unhealthy how much this team makes my arse clench up.
Think of it as a toning exercise ;-)
-
DS asking Mings if he should make another sub.
-
Karma strikes again.
-

A bit of a crowd and the refs just lose the plot
-

Pelvic floor strengthening

Doherty been one of the worst signings of the season, can't play in a back 4 at all.

Excuse me?!?!
Bale
Ok fine. But you can easily see how badly that post could be interpreted, no??
Agreed
Luiz looks nothing like Ian Brown?
-
Whats the linesman looking at there? He has a full grip of El Ghazi, fucking tit.
-
Since Jack went off we have looked totally devoid of ideas. El Ghazi should have been replaced at half time but, we have no one to take his place. Has been our only player tonight that just hasn’t got going.
-
How is Chuky like for pace? Might be worth a go, seeing as we'll be deep and booting it long from now on
-
El Ghazi has played well and caused problems. We've been much the better side all over the park since the 8th minute.
-
Karma for Tanganga
-
That's 3 minutes of stoppage time to be added just there.
-
8 minutes injury time incoming....
-
We have missed a fucking hatful today !
-
How is Chuky like for pace? Might be worth a go, seeing as we'll be deep and booting it long from now on
Seems quick and carries the ball well.
-
Oh shite, that should be game over. Very poor efforts
-
Jack has ice on his shin apparently, not a good sign
-
That should have been 3. This last 10 mins is going to be horrible.
-
Jack has ice on his shin apparently, not a good sign
Perfectly normal....no drama
-
Nakamba has done a tidy job so far tonight.
-
We have missed a fucking hatful today !
It's a good and bad thing. Great we create them but fuck me we have been so incredibly wasteful.
-
Far too easy going past Nakamba
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
Excuse me?!?!
Bale
Ok fine. But you can easily see how badly that post could be interpreted, no??
Agreed
Luiz looks nothing like Ian Brown?
No it was Bale. Ian Brown and the TV series called Monkey that had a catchphrase Monkey Magic,
-
Jack has ice on his shin apparently, not a good sign
surely it only makes sense as a precaution.
-
Far too casual from Watkins there.
-
We do look so much better with Nakamba allowing McGinn to go further upfield.
-
Ianbrownmonkeymagic coming on.
Sir Jack coming off.
Excuse me?!?!
Bale
Ok fine. But you can easily see how badly that post could be interpreted, no??

Luiz looks nothing like Ian Brown?
No it was Bale. Ian Brown and the TV series called Monkey that had a catchphrase Monkey Magic,
I got it Tony. Good shout.
-
Can we get Luiz off as well, looks totally lost.
-
I remember Tony Adams once going on an amazing dribble out of his own half, and then as soon as he got to the opposition box, he was like, now what do I do? and it came to naught. That's how we've been today.
-
AEG does get tackled very easily, doesn’t he.
-
Emi is such a good keeper
-
21st June can’t come quick enough as far as I’m concerned with Luiz.
-

Phew!
Come on Villa!!!!!
-
Come on Villa see this load of shite off.
-
Chucky !
-
21st June can’t come quick enough as far as I’m concerned with Luiz.
He's only going to get better
-
Good on you Dean. bringing the Chuck on.
-
He'll get 8 minutes. Go on lad.
-
oh yes
-
I know I’m trying to reverse cycle thing.
-
Chucky getting 10 mins including injury time. Let’s see what he can do!
-
Chucky !
Was Gaz Baz the last 17 year old to make his debut for us?
-
Chucky! Come on lad!
-
Good to see Chuk get on but not sure about taking Marv off.
-
Chumbawamba has come on. I would guess he gets knocked down and gets up again.
-
Poor, poor clearance from hause
-
SIX MINUTES????
-
Gah!
-
Why don’t we fucking SHOOT
-
I have only just seen the Oli non penalty decision from the first half which the Sky app commentary doesn't even mention. That has to be one of the worst decisions I have ever seen in my life.
-
6 mins wtf how?
-
The chances we've had tonight!
-
Traore....arrrrgggghhhhhhh
-
You twat Traore FFS
-
Fuck sake Traore, should have buried that.
-
You can’t blame Dean for tonight. Had enough chances to win two games.
-
Why aren't we shooting ffs
-
Why don’t we fucking SHOOT
Must have had 10 opportunities to just shoot.
-
Why don’t we fucking SHOOT
It's doing my head in
Great play Tyrone
-
Chuky ar la!
-
Just pull the bloody trigger!!!
-
Bert finish the fuckers!
-
6 mins wtf how?
4 for the injury and then subs
-
Another kid....wow
-
12 year olds now.
-
JPB on
-
You can’t blame Dean for tonight. Had enough chances to win two games.
I'm sure some posters will still find plenty to find something to blame Dean for.
-
Oh Chucky hits the post
-
Oh!
-
Good effort son.
-
Oh Chucky!
-
JPB on
Come on... first game - write his full name
-
So close!
-
chukie off the post
-
Nearly a debut goal!
-
Who doesn’t love to see a glum Spuds fan?
-
Chucky shows the value of FUCKING SHOOTING.
-
That would have been the most amazing debut for Chucky there. Unlucky. So so close
-
Absolutely brilliant.
-
Yes...yes....yes....
-
Dismal Dean does it!
-
FUCKING SUPERB WIN
-
Im convinced chuck will be a superstar ...no pressure lad.
-
Dominated! Fantastic performance
-
:D :D :D
-
Booo!
Get in Villa
-
So unlucky for Chuk who doesn't look anything like an 18 year old on debut, really impressive little cameo.
Very happy to see the 2 youngsters on, would've been good to see JPB get a chance to get in behind because he's very quick.
-
Can we show the new lads a bit of respect and learn their names?
-
Stunning victory
-
Got in about 20 minutes ago and didn't want to jinx it.
But now I can say: FUCKING GET IN!!!!
-
Get in. Well played everyone.
Spuds - Super League - having a laugh!
-
Should have been 3/4. Played them off the park. Broke 50pts for the first time in ages in the 1st division.
-
Great win!
Fuck Spurzzzzzzzzzz!
-
We are seven points ahead of Wolves. Mind the gap boys ;D
-
Great win!
Fuck Spurzzzzzzzzzz!

Well said. 52 points is great. Now bring Chelsea.
