Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Post-Match Thread

[Des Little]

I'm struggling to come up with any positives from tonight. In fact I can't. Desperate all over the pitch.

[Legion]

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

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.

You scare me.

[Goldie.7]

Worst game i've ever been to for some time. I'll be exchanging my tickets for Saturday as i have better things to do.

[silhillvilla]

Sick of watching this shite and reading excuse after excuse for lambert and the players. That was woefully shite. We have not improved over the summer , I'd argue we're going backwards. The likes of Lowton and Westwood look a shadow of their former selves and Weimann now he's got his contract is on easy street. Now Benteke out for 2 months.
Worried , very very worried.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Can't say I'm surprised with the result tonight.

It's all gone very MON which has been on the cards these last few weeks.

[Steve67]

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

Might be difficult if Benteke is out for the next 4 to 6 weeks!! Too many poor players at Villa.  Lambert gets an easy ride because he picks a team full of kids and Villa fans rarely fail to back a team full of kids.  Our home record as a disgrace.

[Goldie.7]

0-4 What the fuck.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

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

Tried yes, but also tried my patience at times. Some of his play is shocking. By his standards he was probably excellent. By any other player he was as bad as the rest.

[silhillvilla]

Worrying thing is 0-4 without spurs breaking sweat. Won in gear 2.

[Mazrim]

Just got in. Lacklustre, naive and impotent. I feel quite mugged off.
Less of this kind of thing please. I know there's a fair few out but I cannot stomach watching that shower of ****** from North London taking the piss at Villa Park again.

Fuck it, I'm off to watch Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter and have a whiskey.

People see one through ball or a run in the 90+ minutes and think he was top notch. All round he was as poor as everyone else who stepped on to that pitch. The difference in class is light years in comparison...

[john2710]

What did we learn tonight?
Spurs squad is light years ahead of ours, not surprising when they've just spent £120m.
We cannot compete unless we are at or near to full strength.

Plus points - Baccuna looks a really useful player, with a bit of pace also.
Sylla same as Baccuna without the pace.
Tonev needs time to get to grips with the pace / power of this league, has ability but will not see the best from him for a while yet. Also he managed to get a shot on target.
Hellnius, looks really skillful & can pick a pass but needs to be physically stronger & lacks pace. How on earth the ref / assistant ref failed to give a penalty is astounding but in reality it wouldn't have changed the result.

I'm struggling to think what alternative options could Lambert have taken given the injuries we currently have?

[mr underhill]

Lambert's had enough time and money and is totally shite end of. Apart from Benteke and possibly Okore all the other signings are also ran's. Our  home form is beyond awful and the entire  management team are tactically inept. God knows what went on with him and Delia in the bake off but only one of them has got a soggy bottom and it isn't her. Complete gash. Could be looking at Chavski type obliteration against City. Lambert please do one.

[silhillvilla]

I think we are in big trouble quite honestly

Who would you have instead?
