Tottenham vs Aston Villa match thread

[pauliewalnuts]

The first thing Garde needs to do is take Richardson, Gabby, Guzan, Clark, Westwood and Bacuna out to a disused mine shaft somewhere and seal the ****** in.

That stat about Gabby is just fucking shocking.

[Proposition Joe]

Fucking Mike Dean. Whack in the face and he let play go on. Shame on you... Tosser. He hates us doesn't he?

Right in front of him too. But the really shit thing about is, as a team we accept it without giving Dean some major grief. That was a sending off offence that Dean chose to ignore.

I saw Grealish give him what I guess was a sarcastic comment after he was called for tugging someone's arm. 

[Morten]

Remi cannot start soon enough. Pathetic all over the pitch. Hutton up for it, but the rest. Alibi football. Agbonlahor Whats the point ? No runs, no positioning, no belief (Huttons cross - nobody went for it). What are the tacticts ?

Oh, and concerning Lerner's comment about "buckle under pressure": take a look at yourself before making such statements. Where are you, when the going gets tough ?

[jwarry]

Although I hate their sniggering you've got to say their comment that Gabby only 8 touches, the lowest in the premier league this season, none any where near their box and 2 of them kick offs is actually embarrassingly funny!

[frank black]

Everyone is laughing at Villa, I fear this is going to be a painful slow creeping death.

[mrfuse]

HA HA, I do like Neville

Yeah even though I hated him when he played for united his comments are not often wrong.

[oldham_villa]

.....and yet they made him club captain 😳

[Vegas]

I like Neville too, and I joined in the laughing. Before realising I was laughing at myself.

McDonald said he'd be speaking to Tim for any advice. If ever there was a Tim Sherwood line up that's it.

Pathetic

We are kidding ourselves if we think we have the necessary quality to turn this around anytime soon.

[TopDeck113]

The Kevin McDonald managerial stint could easily have been avoided if Lerner and Fox had bitten the bullet and fired Sherwood before the last international break.  Giving him the Chelsea and Swansea games just throwing away another two games - before then throwing away another two making an appointment that could have been made over the break. 

[garyshawsknee]

You do wonder how much difference a striker who runs off the ball and holds it up would make to a side even this poor, no forward passes due to no movement. Constantly on the back foot, this should be Remi's first thing to look at.

[aj2k77]

This is not the situation for personal vendetta's or points to be proven. What Mcdonald has done is completely unprofessional.

I'm sorry but no one can tell me Richardson is a better player than Amavi. No one can tell me Agbonlahor is a better player than Ayew or Bacuna in centre mid is a better player than Vertetout.

Something completely stinks, for a club to be continually as poor as we have with almost no respite for 5 years is something else. The dressing room stinks, they are not fighting out there and they are not putting a 100% shift in. Honest bunch of lads they are not, almost to a man they are hiding on the pitch, barely competing. The players stand still, marking the opposition instead of trying to influence the game. Every single time to a man the easy option is taken. As per usual the game is killed off either just before or just after half time, completely unprofessional again. The players are not switched on, they are not going for the win, the mental attitude isn't to go out there and be better than their opponent and come out on top in the fight, the attitude is to get through the 90 minutes. Even the team selection screams it. The whole body language of everyone involved with the playing team is one of getting through the game. No desire.

The good old English lads, the good old club man Mcdonald, bollocks, they are letting the club down. I want changes and big changes from Garde. I want Mcdonald removed from his post, fucking clown. I'm sick of this shit, they are not professionals out there, they're fucking cowards without any pride and without any love for this club.

Gabby is now worse than Heskey.

[rob_bridge]

There's a losing g mentality at the club. So said Sherwood. And then proceeded to exacerbate it. Seems K MAC hasn't watched a first team game since his last stint if Gabby is playing.

And if Hutton is our best player then we are totally fucked.

[Virgil Caine]

Our season now starts against Man City- I just want to see some fight, determination and most of all unity from the players we have got. Any improvement will be welcomed but I reckon this new boss will really put a fire underneath all of them and we will see some proper football again.
