Spurs 2 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

[Matt C]

Bad day at the office, too many had an off day and we just didn’t look after the ball well enough. Good for Ollie to get off the mark which will hopefully see him return to his more instinctive self and we do at least look like we’ve got a goal in us, even when we’re not playing well.

Crap, misplaced passes, very little midfield creativity
only players with credit, Martinez - could have been 4 without him, Cash, although not sure about this predictability with long throw
Targett, ball would have gone in anyway
Midfield was dreadful
Ings and watkins are not complimenting each other
The two subs contributed the sum total of fuck all
lets see what happens after the break
No need for wrist slitting , you could be a jawdies fan and have to to listen to Brucie after their latest defeat

Very poor from the team and management. Just can't understand why Deano didn't make an earlier tactical adjustment. The subs were to late. I  went to the game today expecting Villa to win. I will never learn

Talking about Bruce
I heard him after the match yesterday and actually felt sorry for him

That’s a first for me for Football reasons anyway

Cock Knobs! I was really hoping we were starting to get some consistency, and go on a decent winning run, but the usual good win, followed by a poor performance is back. Hello old friend. Tottenham were a shambles the other week, and I was hoping the same team would turn up today but it was not to be. Very disappointing.

The formation was the main problem.  It was ineffective against Spurs today and the players were uncomfortable with it. To change the formation would probably mean substitutions and as we know Smith doesn't like to make them until the last 30 minutes.

[Risso]

There's being inconsistent, and then there's what we served up today after last week. Not even being able to do the basics right is completely unacceptable. Time after time we just kicked the ball out for a throw in when under no pressure, or gave them the ball straight back.

Yeah but we’re still finishing top 6 mate so don’t worry about it

That’s what happens over a season though. There will be off days. It’s very frustrating but then being a Villa fan has always been just that.

Why are you being an arse about it? Nobody has said we're definitely doing anything. People are optimistic we can be top 8 this season. You don't need a counsel of perfection to be top 6 and the stats bear that out. We've put together a number of good performances in a row, some rewarded, some not. Today we were poor.

We have got to find a formation that brings out the best in out strikers.

Over to you Dean.

I’m staying positive

[VILLA MOLE]

Yep off day today very sloppy , Spurs were sharper than us and after their performance last week needed to be .  We were terrified of Son, he was very good.  I did think the defence should have dropped abit for his pace but that would have relied on the midfield covering more ground.  Oh well no Drama

Apologies, I was interpreting you as being sarcastic.

[Clampy]

Last week people on here saying Smith might get the England job. After a defeat.... We lost, we wasn't great, that's it. Done done, on to the next one.
