Tottenham vs Aston Villa Post-match thread

[Ian.]

Not starting with one of our overseas new signings reeks to high heaven. After the leeks in the press about our summer strategy during Sherwood's last days and KMac's admission he has a lot to thank Tim for and was sorry to see him go questions need to be asked.

I don't really want him near our young players anymore if there's something to this.

[Hookeysmith]

Mcdonald  whatever your petty protest was in picking that team your a fucking disgrace.

Gabby
Richardson
Clark
Sanchez
Grealish
Guzan
Fucking disgraceful all of you.

Gil
Ayew
Bacuna
Lescott
Hutton
Sinclair

At least you looked like you gave a fuck

Get Veretout amavi and Gana in the side now

[LukeJames]

Sinclairs receiving a bit of negativity but I actually felt sorry for him, 5 or 6 times he tried to take the full back on and make things happen and had fuck all support off Richardson or the centre midfielders so he ended up being surrounded with no were to go because the other fuckers were hiding.

Messers MacDonald & Agbonlahor - you should both feel deeply ashamed

[Bad English]

I watched the Walking Dead tonight; it was that or watch the Walking Dead.

[ACVilla]

My view,

Lescott wasn't too bad
Hutton/Sinclair - decent outings
Clark woeful
Sanchez ok but does dilly dally at times
Bacuna improved
Grealish hopeless, Gil has to play instead
Gabby embarrasing, Ayew starting to make things happen
Gestede should've scored, but offers little

Problems lie in the fact we hold no retention of the ball in the last third. This equals no goal threat and puts a frail defence under pressure for long periods. If we can carry the ball and hold it up the pitch then things would improve at both ends. At least there were some encouraging signs.

Agree with all of that.

I actually feel better about our chances after the second half than I did before kick off.

I am about too

[N'Zimidy]

I really like Ayew.
I really like Sanchez.
I really like Gil.
I respect Hutton.

We're having trouble retaining the ball because we're playing two in the middle and the great shed that is Gestede offers fuck all. Get Veretout on for Gestede. Let Ayew go up top on his own and get Gil on the right and Grealish on the left.

[Villa in Denmark]

P45 for KM in the morning.

I'd give him a P90, just so I could sack the fucker twice after that.

20 odd years of being associated with and respected by the club and he's pissed it all up the wall inside a week.

God knows what his reasoning was, but I can't believe that someone who's been coaching at various levels for nigh on 30 years genuinely thought that those 2 starting 11s were the best possibilities, especially tonight's.

"Fucking disgraceful" is way over the top for Richardson, and just wrong for Sanchez, who generally played okay.

Everyone's fed up with things at the moment but when you exaggerate for effect it undermines any point you try to make.

[manic-road]

Proud history shite future.

[wolfman999]

On a positive note, we'll steal a march on the other teams next season as we already have our championship squad in place. Comes of planning ahead by Randy as he has constructed this championship squad over several years. Who says he doesn't know what he's doing. Don't want the place cluttered up by all those Premiership standard players do we.

[Monty]

Grealish should play with Gil, if he's going to play. There's too much pressure on him to do all of it.

[PeterWithe]

I didn't see the pre match coverage and assumed Gana was injured, he wasn't then?
