Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[rutski]

Heskey why? Hutton why? Gabby not up front why? Collins playing why? Bannan on a drink driving charge ahead of Ireland why? Gutless, embarrassing that was the worst game of football I have ever witnessed. Xmas came early for Spurs. Get your coat Mcliesh and slip out the back door.

Because a drunk Bannan will still be better than Ireland

that close up of him, he actually looked drunk!

WTF was that? The team selection was a virtual white flag given their midfield  I give AM to mid-december latest at this rate.

1 shot on target. pffttttttttttt.........

[Villanation]

On the plus side:   We won't go down. At least 4/5 worse teams than us in the division this year.

70% possession conceded against another Premiership side.  Shocking.  Maybe Alex thinks there isn't a huge amount wrong, and it was just two individual errors that allowed Dr Alban to score tonight.  If he does think that, he's delusional. 

We have the personnel to at least go to WHL and have a go.  We didn't.  Buck stops with the manager.

Maybe not, but unless standards of football in the Premiership have dropped dramatically this season, carry on like tonight and we will certainly be in a fight for survival, tonight was awful.

We are the new Birmingham City in everything but name and strip. An absolutely disgraceful display, MCleish played for a low loss, even when two down he made just one substitution. Why not drop Darren Bent? he hardly sees the ball and it would enable us to play another defender.

[Jimbo]

It's sad to see how far and fast we've leapt backwards, but we've brought it all upon ourselves. No surprises here at all, but perhaps now is the time to have a radical rethink about where we're heading as a football club. It will get uglier than this.

[Karl Bridges]

I thought Herd was good again, shame about the way the team was set up. Suicidal selection. Playing two right backs gave us nothing down the right wing and as for Collins, hoofing the ball, losing his marker for the first and pretty much knocking the ball out of Given's hand for the second, useless tosser.

The going down chant was about Redknapp. But you could easily take that it was about the Villa.

[AVFCRob]

Losing, I can live with but not competing, not tackling, letting the opposition play without challenging, that I can't.  Seeing a Villa team that seemed to believe it had lost before it had kicked a ball.......horrible, horrible.

Oh I think we'll be involved.   I'm nearly certain of it.

I just hope/ pray that the Indians stick with Kean and Whelan sticks with Martinez.

I've been rowing with some reporter from the sun all game on twitter.

We are shit, the players and manager are shit.

Collins, Hutton, Heskey should be dropped.

Clark, Gardner, Weimann, Should get more game time and Bannan and Delph should start next week.

[mrfuse]

easiest game spurs will play all season. Redknapp's wife and doctor will be well chuffed with our performance.

Okay spurs are the better team but wheres the determination, work rate, tempo, effort i could keep going.

I wonder what McLeish said at half time as we we couldn't have come out more lackluster if we tried. This is why i don't like McLeish nothing to do with where hes from or whatever but these heartless headless displays!

[midnite]

I wouldn't say i had much faith in AM to begin with, but i was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt... He's shown himself up in a big way tonight and let us all down. I'm not happy and lost a lot of "good will" in AM after tonight.

[Gareth]

Cowards!

[villadelph]

fucking cowards, every one of em.

D'ya know, my thoughts exactly, that's precisely how we look, anybody that looked at B'ham City last season can see them in Villa now, except we have a few more gifted players, but even them are muted to the point of silence.

Say's one thing to me, AM can set a team up one way, play one way, and as a result finish a season maybe one way.
