Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Mortimer's Bear]

Fulham away and Norwich at home, must take a minimum of 4 points otherwise we're deep in the shit.

[Richard Richard]

We will be under genuine pressure within a fortnight unless we win a game.

We have'nt got a game for a fortnight now unfortunately. Eeek.

[Apyadg]

I thought we might get something from the game at half time, but honestly, it's an expected result.

Can you honestly say you'd take any of our players over theirs? They're a much better team, and the league will reflect that at the end of the season, we're years away from being anywhere near the top 6.

Hopefully we'll get something from Fulham.

We're good enough to hit 40-45 points this season, that's all I really expect for Lambert's first season.

I think most of us would agree it was always going to be a season of ups and downs.
Maybe we are just getting most the downs out the way early on.

Right well the decision not to pick Bent was a mistake, the chances missed by Benteke were absolute sitters. I'm not writing Benteke off, but Bent is a proven scorer and had scored in last two league games and should have played. I'm not panicking but one worry is that when we are behind the changes Lambert makes seem to empty the midfield completely and isolate the strikers and they haven't been remotely successful. We need to start getting some wins.

We were losing last week and Lambert's sub scored the goal.

If I was asked to lay the blame on someone it would be benteke. Harsh as that sounds there were two glorious chances to put us ahead and force totenham to open up an he fluffed them both. U simply cannot do that at this level and we were duly punished. If we're gonna play him up top he needs to improve his finishing and fast. Bent and Weiman must be pissed watching him miss chances like that

[damon loves JT]

Haven't we got a game? Oh shite. I hate waiting for the next match when we're on a poor run.

[PeterWithesShin]

Time to get out the razor blades as we lose away to a side that has finished 4th, 5th, 4th the last 3 seasons. Reality is we missed a couple of great chances to take the lead, chances that every striker in the world misses at times and then they scored a flukey deflected goal. On such fine margins are we either heading for improvement or certs for relegation.

[Percy McCarthy]

There was absolutely nothing in it until we missed that chance. Not worried yet.

[ez]

I do hope Lambert isn't afraid to drop his own signings. Bent and Weimann are our best hopes for goals but aren't starting.

[Clark W Griswold]

Bent should be playing though.

[silhillvilla]

With the November nightmare fixtures looming I'm starting to worry a little.

[Summers]

That was shit.

[olaftab]

We need to hold our nerve now. Reading, Norwich, Fulham, Sunderland  we will pick up 9 from this lot and some cushion for getting nothing from Arsensl, City United .

[danlanza]

We need wins in all the next 3 games to get us on a roll and get confidence back into the team.
