Super League Tottenham 1-2 Proper Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[caster troy]

Is there anything better than seeing academy players come on and instantly look the part? It seemed like they killed the game at the end, getting us up the pitch again.

It's been a disappointing end to the season but I can't remember the last time I was so optimistic about our future.

[The Edge]

Reading their forum. Besides their level 10 meltdown this seems the standout post, lolz.

Hahahaha. That's a thing of beauty.

From Ashley Preece

Dean Smith says the Villa squad and backroom staff gave debutants Jaden Philogene-Bidace and Carney Chukwuemeka a huge round of applause when they came back into the dressing room afterwards. Love that. 👏 #AVFC

Well that's lifted my spirits somewhat.  Well done Villa.  Definite penalty btw.

Yes, most definitely, that was a good tonic to a really shit day. I missed the match due to an incident with my mom and spent the best part of the day with her in accident and emergency.

Nice to hear we’ve played well and got a deserved win. Pleased for the young lads coming on and good to see Ollie score again.

Hope your mother is okay, Ian.

Gave this one the swerve as we look like we've been on the beach already for a few weeks.

Looking forward to it on the catch up.

15 wins compared to the nine last season is massive progress, even in this oddest of seasons.

I hope you can watch the whole game and not just highlights because we were outstanding tonight.

[ChicagoLion]

We should have won by more but some excellent performances tonight.
The ref was a joke and the penalty decision was just bent.

Got an offered a tremendous job 2 hours before kick off, and then sat down and enjoyed that. I fucking love the Villa.

I'm glad the Villa has been a tonic for you tonight. Hope your mother is fine.

Martinez 8
Some good saves from Bergwijn in particular.
Emi distribution by kicking leaves a lot to be desired at times but solid today. I'm sure he would have extra enjoyment of the 3pts. Brilliant

Konsa 7.5
Better game. Capable at right back and mainly assured . Played his part.

Targett 7.5
Mr consistent as ever. But felt was one of his more quieter matches in some respects.

Hause 8
Gave the ball away with right foot aimless pass as Traroe provided no option for and Spurs went on to score but was solid in containing Spurs attack.

Mings 9
Unbelievable outside of a slip. Absolute heroe performance in way he showed class. Very impressed.

Nakamba 7.5 Stepped it up after being at fault for the goal with poor control. Slight mark down for the goal.
Brilliant though how he broke up play made amends by creating the equaliser and won tackles. Great solid effort. Impressive

McGinn 8.5
Ran the show. Could have scored and helped create chances which Traore fluffed. One time he pioretted and beat two or or three in midfield. 9 out of 10 if it wasn't for the yellow card. Just loses out to Mings for player of match .
Drives the team. Relished the battle and was revelling. Energy passion and drive.. super.

El Ghazi 7.5
Worked it well but was let down sometimes by passes not coming quick enough to him. Tracked back brilliantly at times though faded a bit but was a solid team player and dangerous in attacks

Traore 7
(Would be a 7.5 to 8.5 of he passed more or scored )
Frustrating! Ace closing down for the 2nd goal but oh so wasteful and never looked enough for team mates when in possession. Felt he should have been subbed earlier and ws final straw when he fluffed a chance mis hitting it shot straight to Watkins.

Grealish 7.5
(Would be an 8  to 9  if scored or assisted)
Played in the 10 and worked well moving round spurs midfield couldn't cope.
Needed to release the ball quicker to El Ghazi in particular at times as then offside but thought after slow start, like the team , really came and stepped it up.
Exceptional and made the side even more dangerous but was right to be subbed as was slowing down sweeping counter attacks.
Still has major issues with his shooting for a man of his talents unable to get the power away with his shots.
Ace contribution today and greatly helped the teams attacking play. Class player and brought the team forward . Audacious player. And he's ours. Welcome back Jacky


Watkins 9
Outstanding. Nearly close to player of match but Mings lead the team from the back. I though Watkins took his goal well and should have had a penalty. Would be player of match if he scored again but so so good. Man's energy is wonderful
Brilliant striker .Deserves to be in England national team men's squad for Euros.

Douglas Luiz 7
Great energy. Played well and helped create

Great cameos by
JPB-
Chukwenka-

Dean Smith 9/10 for this one!

[Villan82]

oh also fuck off the sky commentator , talking about watkins replacing Kane at spurs , as if

I despise SKY.
