Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Match Thread

[Proposition Joe]

We're way too hectic out there.  It's headless chicken chasing and closing down that just leaves gaps for the other team to exploit.

I wish we'd calm down a notch or two and keep the ball for a bit, so we get accustomed to passing to people in the same coloured shirt.

[Steve R]

Let's see what the half time bollocking does for our chances. Spurs have been dominant but are only one nil up, an easy mistake to make.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I think they are trying, we're just not very good!

Some of you need to get a grip. We're down to our reserves except for Vlaar, Lowton (dropped on sat) and KEA. None of hem have exactly shone so far this season. Players like Bacuna and kozak are getting used to playing in this country, albrighton and bennet are playing first games in a while after spells out and wih poor form. We're playing a side thats much better than ours, players like Sandro and Holtby would walk into our first team.

They have created a couple more chances than us and are leading by a single goal.

Spot on pal

In which case tell the fans before they buy tickets that we're not fussed with the cup and won't be putting a competitive team out.

I admire the optimism but my guess is it will only get worse in the second half.

Totally agree with this.

That's the spirit. Bowery's on I'll have you know.

[Tuscans]

Bowery looks a beast. I bet Helenius does well

[mr woo]

Lot of effort but Spurs midfield is alot better thanours....then again look at how much it cost them !

Can't argue with the maths of it all, it's just the least you'd expect from our 'budget' players is that they could bring a football under control within a 6foot radius of the point they receive it.

On the evidence of the last three games, 50% of our players are incapable of even that basic task.

It'd be worse if he played all he injured players wouldn't it. Anyway no need to worry Bowerys on.

[PaulWinch again]

Helenius that's a great chance.

[mal]

That's a 100% penalty

[Tuscans]

HA HA HA that was a foul....now pull your pants up

[ian c.]

How the fuck is that not a penalty?
