Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Post-Match Thread

We're fucked when benteke goes in jan

[Goldie.7]

Delph was sloppy i lost count how many times he lost possession, far from good.

[PaulWinch again]

Basically a pretty disappointing display in which we never looked likely to win against a pretty under par Spurs team.

Positives -

- Benteke getting some minutes on the pitch.
- Guzan did well.
- Delph did well other than his stupid yellow card.
- Vlaar was decent and so was Bacuna.

Negatives -

- No real creativity and KEA and Westwood seem to do one player's job between them.
- Baker is positionally hopeless and very careless and doesn't appear to have improved at all since he came into the side.
- Luna fails to stop crosses from the left all the time.
- Gabby and Weimann aren't offering enough from the wide positions on a consistent basis.

Basically nothing we didn't know, we desperately need a couple of quality additions in midfield and wide. Also we really need our centre-halves fit as Baker isn't up to it.

Bloody lucky Spuds, sell Bale for £86m and the Townsend steps up to the plate like that!

He was good last season. Very good player.

Might as well have McLeish back.

Negative tactics and team selection. Sylla for KEA every time for me. Sat back and invted Spurs onto us. Poor, poor, poor.

We were beaten before we started. We are the f in home team FFS.

Spurs have pace, power, a plan and some bloody good players. We have none of this

Suggest a bit of shooting practice as well.

Was going to get tickets for Everton but after that I will save me £50.

Gabby was in the media at the weekend talking aout his WC hopes. Ha ha. Not a chance.

Truly depressing

Rant over

I've heard that Paul Lambert is calling for an Ashley Westwood England selection. Is this a wee Scottish jokie? Ashley Westwood is the footballing equivalent of used chewing  gum. Tasteless and rather pointless.

Pretty much a standard Villa Park performance there (so pretty bad).

That said, I think we would've got something if Benteke had started, but it was probably sensible not to risk him for the whole game.

I suppose we were due a defeat. Lack of chances created is a worry. Two games without scoring now.

[Steve R]

Why on earth we wait an hour and a goal down before deciding to pass the ball I don't know. We need a serious upgrade in midfield. Delph does ok, but with both Westwood and El Ahmadi in the side we are desperately short of any kind of presence there.

Are you for real?  Crap day but miles better than last year, we just need to start adding quality in the next transfer windows.  But we know that.

lambert is a useless turd and I feel much better for articulating that emotion

He was very good. Tired a bit. And lost it when he really had no options due to lack of movement. Should sharpen up and make better decisions if he wants to be an international player. But I can't see on earth how you can say he didn't play well.

[VinnieChase84]

Weimann works hard but what does he actually offer us at the moment? Think he's suffering lowton season trouble.
We cannot keep playing Westwood and kea in the same side, it has to be one or the other. It midfield is shockingly uncreative.
It's games like today where u can see why we were all (fans) wanting that number 10 in the summer. We have no one who can open a defence

Log out Matt. Just log out.
