Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Match Thread

It's not like we are playing the best version of Tottenham either.

If this was at Villa Park, we’d be battering them.

This is turning into a big reality check

The reality is that we are better than this team, but Unai got it all wrong today. Playing with five defenders against a soft as butter B team (aside from Som and one or two others).

I’m expecting a better second half

[paul_e]

Mcginn needs to concentrate on the game

He's the captain, he's supposed to be able to talk to the ref. That the ref booked him for doing it is a clear sign of how shit the ref has been.

[Nunkin1965]

Dreadful first half Villa.
So lucky its only 1-0.

[Rigadon]

I didn’t think I could detest spurs anymore, but I think I fucking hate them even more than I did at the start of this shit half.  Their smug fucking ****** fans too.  The commentator is talking in tones suitable for a state funeral about spurs injuries. 

[Ian.]

Although we’ve been shit the ref gives them every 50/50 ffs

[Skerra]

What a disaster of a half. Only positive is that we’re only 1-0 down.

[Proposition Joe]

We need more pace plus maybe Tielemans with his throughballs in the second half.

[aldridgeboy]

Diaby should have done better there. He’s off form at the moment and that won’t help

[Nelly]

Great feet from McGinn there. I wish Diaby had shot!

[PaulWinch again]

Awful - sort it out. Although the likelihood of us turning it round is very low, we don’t respond well to being behind typically.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Not impressed. They’re there for the taking and we seem to be unable to take our hands out of our pants.
