Tottingham vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Fin Feds Dad]

How is Lowton stuck on the bench when Richardson put in one of the worst displays by a professional left back that I've seen in ages? How does Vlaar come into the team, muck up our defending, then retain his place? How is Joe Cole still on the bench? I'm not impressed with that team.

My thoughts exactly Monty - not happy with this blokes team selections at all . I said on Tuesday he is a clueless chancer - and sticking with the same team selection after Tuesday backs that up .

Thought we could get a point at Spurs if the right team was selected - think this team will get beat easily .

Don't like the choice of Vlaar over Okore and I agree that the choice of Richardson instead of Lowton is ridiculous. Hope Kane has a Burnley day.

As an aside, it's a sign of how far we've sunk that Swansea are now on 47 points. Swansea ffs?

Richardson is an ideal squad player to have on the bench and at a push he could start as left midfield. However he's not up to starting at left back anymore.

Isn't it rather a sign of how far Swansea have risen? And a sign of what can happen with a consistent approach to hiring and developing, both players and managers.

Forget about Swansea, we are struggling to compete with Stoke, Palace and Wet Spam

Cutting out basic errors would help us and how many goals have we conceded  when various players seemed to have 'switched off' and lost their man.  That is down to lack of concentration rather than lack of basic skills.

Think you're being too kind there. He's not very good, I'd like to think our standards are higher than that.

If Spurs score first - I'd like to see Mason sent off and then us winning 2-1 with Grealish getting the winner.
