Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

We have to get on the ball, this is nowhere near good enough.

[Matt Collins]

Bbc reckons we've not been out of our box yet. Can't help but think we are partly inviting this on ourselves with the 541 line up. Tho clearly our choices are limited

[Boz]

On the law of averages, we are going to concede before half time, we aren't getting any time with the ball and haven't been in their penalty area yet.

The defence will be knackered by half time on this showing.

We've barely been out of OUR penalty area.

True,

stats show we've been in their half 9% so far

[PaulWinch again]

Finally KEA actually gets near someone.

[Malandro]

can you imagine if we had a man sent off now!

[Apyadg]

Another game in which we may as well just have a keeper and defence and leave the other players at home.

Only a matter of time until Spurs break through, this is very poor.

[Jimbo]

Have Spurs sneaked an extra 20 men on the pitch?

[Matt Collins]

"Spurs are looking forward every time they get the ball. Villa have not touched it for five minutes."

Dion Dublin. Worrying.

[Rigadon]

can you imagine if we had a man sent off now!

It wouldn't look any different.

I know we got battered last time out but playing a formation today which is inviting 90 minutes of backs-to-the-wall defending isn't what the doctor ordered surely?

[Ozzjim]

We got a free kick!! Blow me over.

[Jimbo]

YES!!!! Benteke just stepped in their box!

[PaulWinch again]

Better passing for a second there.

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking come on Villa this is bollocks, sort it out.

[Ozzjim]

Holman and KEA have to be better. Westwood has passed to both in the last 5, and neither have controlled the ball at all. Not good enough at all.
