Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Walmley_Villa]

I've only just got back and turned the match on. The problem as i see it is that all their players are better than ours. It's not fair.

And that is the problem. No disgrace in losing here. Anyone who thought this season would not be challenging is very naive. It will get better but will take time.

I'm use to us not winning anymore. Maybe we need to play at our level now, what we do we the ball isn't good enough for this league.

Excellent, I agree with this.

My brother hasn't seen us win in the last 18 matches he has attended.

Has Bent contributed anything yet?

I might be wrong, as I've been trying to block this game out, but I don't think he's actually been able to touch the ball yet.

I've heard his name once in commentary since he came on, he gave the ball away! Benteke has been constantly in the thick of it, maybe that's why Bent didn't start? Just a thought!

It's just been pointed out in the commentary of the stream I'm watching that we've won 3 league games since the start of January.

It's a worrying stat but you have to bear in mind that we've only had a proper manager for a handful of those games.

[Irish villain]

We get the easiest chance of the whole game, miss it, then it all goes tits up.

Two easy chances within a few minutes. Should have been two up when they scored.

[London Villan]

Were aren't a million miles away from being a good team, bit we are going to need points if we don't want to get dragged into a relegation battle, with all the added pressures that will put on a young team.

We need a bit more experience in midfield too, but January is a long way off.

I must be the only one who thought we did OK. We are talking about a team who have just beat man u. Only reason they scored was a fluke goal.

You know the score on these match threads:

- everyone ok whilst 0-0
- they score a lucky goal and suddenly we've been shit all game
- we get a luck equaliser, it's been a great fighting performance

Don't forget the obligatory pop at Randy Lerner once we go a goal down.

Buy Championship calibre players and sooner or later you end up there - simple as that.

[silhillvilla]

The most pleasing aspect Is that I chose not to go

That's not quite true, not everyone has said that!
We have played great for 35 mins, as we did at West Ham and also Southampton, but unless we have someone who can take chances we will lose! Simple! It is work in progress , expect ups and downs. Let's face it there is no disgrace in losing to Spurs, we should however beat Saints,  etc. But we need to score !

Bit of a lazy stat IMHO. Most of the games were with a more or less completely different team undera useless manager. Having said that I am concerned we've only got 5 points from a relatively easy starting 7 games - the Southampton result was a real sickener

[Risso]

Dreadful.  5 points from 7 games is very poor, whatever the circumstances.
