Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

I'm not as worried about the regular first team as I am about the lack of quality to cover the first XI. At full strength we'll be fine. Beyond that, it's thin.

[nick harper]

We couldn't half do with Sandro in the middle of the park. Strong, physical, moves the ball around. Ran the game and can't get near their first team.

We make it so easy for teams to get into a rhythm at home. We need to get in their faces and play higher up the pitch. Every team comes to VP and is able to take the initiative. Lambert needs to find a new way if playing at home, and quickly.

The first goal had been coming for a while.
Never seen a more obvious penalty - how the f**k does he expalin that to the assessor?
The second goal was completely shit marking - how can any team leave the near post so open from a corner?
We gave them the last two from pure shitty poor play/wayward passing.
I'm depressed by the whole thing but not surprised at the result.
Disappointed at the lack of application by a fair few players tonight who should have been making the most of the opportunity to impress.
And didn't seem bothered.

Whats up with Lowton by the way? Been spending his new contract money on pies?

Bennett looked decent I thought.

[Toronto Villa]

Sandro as well as one or two others dwarfed most of our players. He looked massive put there next to Bacuna and KEA. Only Sylla was able to compete. Man City won't be any different. Toure could run riot against our lot.

I thought this was a joke when I first saw the still image.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

"Marc Albrigton was excellent"

Ha! That's just topped it off. I laughed then read it again in disbelief. What is Lambert on?!?!

To comment on the effort of the team being great as well is a fucking joke, did he not watch the first half???

[Legion]

At least Albrighton tried and looked like he could be bothered. Shame about the rest of them.

[PeterWithesShin]

I wouldn't go as far as excellent but Alby was very good. One of the only players to do anything or look like he gave a shit.

[Mortimer's Bear]

So glad I came back. Fucking dire. Only players worth anything tonight were Sylla and Steer.

I disagree, I thought they were crap too.

[PeterWithesShin]

On the plus side, I left a few minutes early so as far as i'm concerned we only lost 2-0.

[Confusious says]

Hey come on, when they return next month they will be so confident after this game they will be

There for the taking. Benteke Hat Trick, send them home with their tale between their legs
