Tottenham vs Aston Villa Post-match thread

[Fin Feds Dad]

Things I never want to hear again - "Kevin MacDonald will be Caretaker manager"

Couldn't pick his nose . Picked a team out of spite to stick two fingers up.  Tosser .

[kippaxvilla2]

80 minutes of rubbish, 10 minutes of frantic adequacy.

Ayew and Gil should be in the side. Kevin MacDonald should probably be facing some sort of internal disciplinary action.

What's his win record as Caretaker Manager 0% is it?!

[PeterWithe]

A complete lack of aggression, urgency and tempo. We are a mild side.

A special mention for Richardson, in five years of utter dross it takes a special kind of ineptitude to stand out as being particularly bad but he managed it and in bucket loads.

This new fella will need to be pretty good if he's going to keep this shower up.

Ayew impressed me, he tried hard, despite the utter crap around him.

[Mouse Potato]

Terrible for 75 minutes. What this game showed is that Ayew and Gil have to start. I thought Gil was great when he came on but in fairness he didn't have much to improve on. On this form Gil is comfortably ahead of Grealish.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Very poor only player who tried to do something is Ayew and Gil for me.

If I was picking the team next game

Bunn,
ILori,
Okore,
Clark,
Amavi

Sanchex, Gana, Gil, Traore, Vertout
Ayew

Subs
Guzan, Gardner, Grealish, Crespo, Kozak, Lescott, and Gestede

[Nastylee]

Agreed Nastylee re ball retention up front. It is our big problem, because it is not the type of thing any of our forwards are naturally good at.
We need a focal point of the attack that will let the 3 behind play.

Although Ayew does hold it - not in the target man sense but the fact he can dribble and commit some players and create some space.

[SamTheMouse]

There's too much club loyalty to Gabby. KMac clearly very guilty of it. He played him up front on his own, and instructed the other players to try and find him with through balls down the channels, which might have worked about eight years ago. Nostalgia has its place, but not when you're picking a team.

Hopefully Garde will have none of this sentimental nonsense, and ship out the mediocre wasters who have been at the club too long.

[OzVilla]

Terrible selections but it could be a blessing in disguise.

 Atleast now Remi can see that Gabby, Richardon, Clark and Sinclair are no where near good enough and that there's talent we are wasting week after week on the bench.

That last 10 showed there's something to work with while the first 80 showed the ones that arn't up to it.

[Rudy65]

KMAC bottled it

Again. Clueless

Beat West Ham and Everton. Although Everton absolutely slaughtered us.

You can add Bacuna and Westwood to that list

Utter shite...summed up by our Captain standing in the tunnel wearing fuckin' gloves. If I had been the manager I would have dropped him there & then...try running around a bit more you useless twat...it's not even cold. Perhaps he knew something we didn't as he got caned by Gary Neville at half time having had the fewest touches ever by a PL player in a first half!

I never want to see him in a Villa shirt again. Before anyone adds what a great servant he has been. Why? He hasn't been playing for nothing. He has absolutely stolen a living as a PL striker more than 10 years earning tens of thousands of pounds every week in the process.

On a wider issue we are desperate. It is the worst set of players that we gave had since 1986/87 and we are careering towards the  Championship new manager or not.

Awful times.

[ROBBO]

Agree with most of the comments, think he was right taking Grealish off never in the game needs a rest,Gabby should have played his last game he is a symptom of why Villa are wher they are. Plaudits to Hutton gave his all if all the others gave his committment we wouldn't have a problem, Gil and Anew must start but what do we do with Gestede we really need a big guy up fron. but Gestede is so one dimensional.
I would have Bacuna playing just behind the forwards very unluck to hit the posr.

[Chris Jameson]

I hope that is the last we ever see of that lard arse waste of space who is somehow the club captain. I laughed when I heard Bolton had Ameobi and Heskey as their strikers, I'm not sure we've got any better.

[eamonn]

Christ, another clueless eejit on 5Live. Can't get through...Villa fans being shown to parrot the shit that they hear from pundits.
