Spurs v Villa Post-Match Thread

[aj2k77]

I'd keep Grealish as an impact player for now, coming on as and when needed, given whole games his impact diminishes and we are playing too many games with bit part players not offering enough impact on the game as a whole.

[Virgil Caine]

Looks like we have a goalkeeper, Chester and Baker played very well, Tish in midfield from now on in please, result predictable and ever so sorry Danny Murphy we couldn't play the game you wanted us to, you overpaid, turgid excuse for a pundit.

[brian green]

Can live with that.  Spurs the best form team in the Premiership, us just getting up off our knees, we improve, little by little.  Keeper a big plus.

[D.boy]

Goalkeeper looks good, central defence did ok, midfield had no real outball to the forward and no real attacking threat at all.

[Brend'Watkins]

Like the keeper. Liked Tshbola's contribution. It's what I wished for out of the match. Grealish was easily our best player again. Is there any truth in £25 million for Amavi? Get it done before they find out if there is.

[TheMalandro]

Not a bad performance, good header changed the game. So be it - not a competition we will win with this squad.

So fairly content.

[Nev]

We didn't have a go because we didn't give a fuck really.
I wanted a half decent performance, I wanted to nick it perhaps, I didn't want to fuck up our slim chance of promotion with injuries or conceding a bucketful.
 
Murphy and McMannaman can bitch all they like, the TV companies made shit selections and got shit games.
Fuck them.

I think the BBC pundits have been very unfair here. They are the form team in England and we having a difficult patch.  What the fuck do they expect! I may be sensitive but I really feel they revel in our plight.  As for Murphy words fail me.  The so called neutral BBC should be embarrassed

[Rudy Can't Fail]

No attacking threat - we need a striker or we have no chance of the play-offs.

We need an attacking plan more than anything.

Positives from today:

We seem to have finally found a cracking keeper.

Everybody seemed to know what their job was. Now the midfield alongside the defence look organised.

Tish, Bacuna should join Jedi in midfield against Wolves.

We need two up front and today despite Gabby working hard he never stood a chance alone. Today he doesn't deserve any stick.

Bruce giving Davies and Green an outing.

Bruce leaving Westwood and Gardner out of the team.

And of course the Villa fans, forever loud and proud.

I'm not too disappointed with the result or performance. We didn't get slaughtered and there are positives to take from the game. It could have been really ugly.

[curiousorange]

Always disapponted to go out of the Cup and would have liked us to give them something to think about, but I just wanted us not to get smashed. Apologies to the BBC for not providing the requisite cannon fodder.

Danny Murphy dredging new depths of woe-is-Gerrard biased bullshit.

And get rid of that other useless piece of dog turd Hutton....usual all over the place cluelessness from the so called full back.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Have the bullsh-t broadcasting company and Dean stopped jerking themselves off at the result we all know they wanted? Sad f-ckers!!!
Sounded like there were some decent performances from some Villa players especially Johnstone. Only 7 away goals all season and we play agbonlahor as a lone striker who last scored away when? McCormack hasn't scored away for Villa either, so it was always going to be a difficult task. It does highlight an obvious area for improvement in the transfer window though.

[eddiemunster]

Originally put this in the match thread....
Johnstone....good game...looks like the best we've got between the posts....get rid of Bunn now and have Gollini as the understudy.
Hutton.....so FUCKING SHIT.....get rid asap.
Chester.....give him a much longer contract....class.
Baker....gave his all as usual.
Amavi....if we've really been offered what they say, SNAP THEIR FECKIN HANDS OFF NOW....
Glad to see Tshibola And Jedinak in the midfield, injuries apart, should keep them in until we get better replacements.
Adomah.....not given enough support, showed some good touches though....
Bacuna....solid game...
Grealish....not much effort and no substance.....
Agbonlahor.....another flabbyonegoalayear no show....had one chance I think...
1st Half .....0-0....job done...
2nd Half.....didn't get out of the blocks like we should have....
Subs....too late to make a difference...

[AV5nobs]

No slaughtering like most predictions and gabby put a shift in..... Meltdown.

I thought Hutton had a very good first half, like a few others got dragged out of position in the second but overall more than decent.
