Spurs 2 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

I didn’t realise we haven’t got a game now until the 16th. Bloody hell, I hate international football.

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

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.

I’m not being an arse
I’m staying positive

Apologies, I was interpreting you as being sarcastic.

No pro sports
Got to keep believing

After following the villa for 50+ years there is one word I associate with them more than anything...Frustrating.

especially after losing

[exiled on the wirral!]

Low on confidence? Under pressure? Order your Aston Villa fixture today! Guaranteed to sink to your level (or lower!) and gift you a much needed three points.

Some things never change. So frustrating.

Yeah, I bet United were saying that last week.

For me the game was crying out for the steadying influence of Nakamba at his best.

That's fair comment especially after Ramsey was booked.

[john e]

Nakamba would have given the ball away just as much if not more than the rest of them though
And wouldn’t have gone forward with the ball In an positive manner

So I’m not convinced it would have been the right call

Bad day at the office..anybody out there never had that ??
We are all passionate, but some of you are so angry I wonder why?
It’s Villa, the highs are amazing..deal with the off days.

That game was really poor. Spurs were rubbish too. I was quite fed up watching it as it all felt a bit half arsed and a missed opportunity. If we’d pressed Spurs they would have crumbled.

After going for a big post game walk I’m more sanguine. Bad day at the office and a lot to be excited about with this team. Certainly more so than Spurs, basically when Son gets sold they’re Newcastle Utd without the fans.

Yep, and someone on here commented on how ape shit the Spurs fans were going on their forum. Some people really can't cope when we lose.

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.

There was no excuse not to make them at half time today. A tactical change that is. We were rotten first half and Spurs weren't much better.

Gives you an excuse to criticise other posters though, eh Clamps?
