Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur Match Thread

[Hampshire Villa]

Just need to get to Half Time now!

[Monty]

Even if Spurs equalise I feel hopeful, because the Beast just looks like he has to score eventually.

[Hampshire Villa]

phew - half time!

[Marton]

We are up at halftime and not playing horribly...
...problem is that now Lambert gets a chance to talk to the players and spoiling it by managing!!

[Toronto Villa]

Ok good first half.

[Ian.]

I hope Benteke gets one, cause if he does I reckon he'll get another today and his season will kick off.  He's going to be key for our survival.

[Toronto Villa]

Benteke is going to score. You can just feel it.

Overall i'm satisfied with that half. Benteke causing them all kinds of problems. We got a bit sloppy and on the back foot towards the end though.

[Malandro]

I realise we are doing well, but with the space we have I'd bring Grealish on

[Matt Collins]

I think cleverley has been quietly good today. Better on the ball than most of our players

[rob_bridge]

Well done. Overall been better team.

Baker done well. The Beast is giving them a battering.

[PaulWinch again]

Benteke is looking more like his old self and N'Zog is a threat. We need to be less open but we're doing ok.

Shows the difference when you maintain an attacking presence  rather than full on parking the bus.

[Matt C]

Massive improvement on recent weeks but that wasn't too difficult. Benteke looks more like his old self and we're actually creating chances.

Suspect we'll need to score again though, very open game and we look prone to concede.

[Goldie.7]

When Townsend comes on we'll have big problems. I'm not too bothered about the rest of their subs.
