Score those 2 chances and we'd have been talking about a very good performance. We missed them, Spurs scored a lucky goal stright after and a soft one after that and because we were chasing the game we made them look much better than they actually are.
As for the game thread, there was a fair amount of arguing among fans today. I think people are getting worried we might be in the shit. I'm not particularly.
Cast your minds back about 12 months to that game last season. THAT was shit. What we just saw was another slightly naive, slightly toothless Villa side full of inexperience.
Bent did next to fuck all when he came on. Nothing. And that's the thing with him. He probably would've scored one of the chances Benteke fluffed (the second one in particular was really poor) but he adds next to nothing else. It's a real conundrum for the manager, especially when Bent is openly questioning him in the press.
Anyway, losing to them is about as welcome as gout, but let's not go overboard with the doom and gloom.
