Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

On the one hand we're doing ok. But you do feel spurs could step it up in a bit and I'm not sure if we can. Couple of interesting breaks in the last couple of minutes though

we need to get to the ball first more often in midfield. That will undo us in the end if we don't address it

[Irish villain]

Love the ironic cheers from the villa end there!

Not for me Matt.  A spurs team with Modric and I'd agree, but they aren't quite the same this time around.

A goal now would be nice.

Delph is being more than a little careless, and it's more than a little frustrating.

[Fergal]

Afternoon chaps, hows it going?

Better than last time

[Toronto Villa]

can we stop just clipping those free kicks in. How about a little pace and whip? We really have been crap at set piece delivery in the past two years

I hope PL will sub him at half time We don't really want to be down to 10 men

[Mortimer's Bear]

I think we've done okay so far after a shaky start, I don't remember too many Spurs opportunities.

Um, pretty well all things considered. Fairly even, not too inspiring.

[Irish villain]

Is this a library chant the villa fans

[Jimbo]

We're frustrating them alright, but we don't look like scoring. As we very rarely keep a clean sheet, especially away from home, we could come unstuck in the second half.

are we playing well crap or just a bit meh?  (meh is me getting down wiv der kids innit)

[Ducksworthy]

Am I the only one who thinks absolutely every free-kick we have is just going to be a waste of time? We never put in a ball with any intent.
