Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Post-Match Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

Absolute garbage.  0-3 at home to Spurs seconds.  Ironically, we had some creativity, but no one to finish  -  we never quite get it right do we.

Wasn't really our 'firsts,' was it?

Granted. We should have had the side that played them at home in the league last season, they would have given it a right good go - oh hang on.

Happy the reserve players got a run out. The league matters far more.

Good to see Albrighton playing ok.


Besides that, pretty much all negative. We have a long long way to go.

I dont think this does us any good for the Manc game to be fair .    i think we could be walloped on Saturday

As said in the other thread, I am starting to hate them again.

How can you hate your football team mate?
Piss you off...yes, but hate is a bit strong dont you think?

I don't see our reserves getting a run out as a positive, since they got absolutely dicked.

Clear from Lamberts comments on Saturday and selection that this wasn't a priority.

[gervilla]

That was incredibly difficult to watch.
Hopefully we will have some of the first-teamers back for Saturday .
I fear a hammering to make tonights one look mild.

Wasn't able to go tonight so listened on AVTV. What an irritating, gibbering dickhead Andy Blair is!!

[Rigadon]

So glad I decided not to go.  Put out a weakened side in the only less than zero chance we have of winning a competition and its no mystery people complain.  You can't defend it really. 

[Dio1874]

Pretty piss poor really. Gifted them 3 goals. Didn't create too much. Midfield still a problem area.

I think those who thought we would breeze into the top on the back of beating a load of shit off form teams towards the end of last season need to look at tonight.

We are also rans - behind Everton Swansea, Southampton and a few others who have built progressively over a few years.

I am willing to be patient as it will take time. I don't want to see another one of those performances in the next year - whoever we play!

[VinnieChase84]

Why wasn't this a priority!? PL has been on record as saying we would take all cups seriously. Much better chance having a right go tonight than there is of getting anything Saturday in my opinion. Another PL cup balls up

a lot of these reserves were bought in the summer and I was expected them to be better than what we had . Oh well

[ez]

I hope we get some players back because if that side plays Man City...

[Matt Collins]

We clearly de-prioritised this game, rightly or wrongly and I think there was an air of inevitability about the comfort of spurs' performance. I wonder how many multiples their team cost compared to ours?

I can see another one of these scorelines coming on Saturday

Unfortunately, I think we have to get used to a league that's a bit more like most foreign leagues. We missed the boat for various reasons and now we need to get used to the fact that villa are unlikely to win anything of significance ever again (unless we get bought out by a multi-billionaire, not just a billionaire). Our best bet is to be run a bit like Everton but there's a fair bit of damage to unravel before then
