Aston Villa v Tottenham Match Thread

[SamTheMouse]

Very surprised that everyone's saying it's an obvious red in the neutrals. But then, they're not neutral are they.

It's a tactical foul and way too aggressive, not sure what the debate is. If Bissouma did that to one of ours we'd all be expecting a red.

I'd have been expecting a yellow, to be honest. It wasn't dangerous, he didn't go though the player and wasn't off his feet.

Can't believe how anyone doesn't think that's a red card?  If that was on McGinn we would have been screaming for a red.

Definite red

[PhilVill]

Was never a red. A yellow for sure. However, this performance is on our manager 100%. The set up was fucking dreadful.

[Smirker]

It isn't just the players whoa re bottlers.
Calling the champions league over? Calling our best manager since the 90s a ******? Give your heads a wobble FFS

Its obviously not over.

Generally we have got to positions where we can gain massive ground on rival teams and we never seem to take that opportunity. We're good at catching up and just about making it but not building gaps.

I suspect it will be the case qualifying for the CL.

The good news is is we *know* that Spurs are Spursy and will bottle some easy games somewhere down the road. It is what they do. But this is not to excuse this performance and it started with Emery once more playing scared.

How utterly shit is Diaby.  (Most of the time)

[Risso]

Oh Diaby you are truly dismal..

[SamTheMouse]

Diaby is shit

Utter waste of money.

He needs to get in the gym. Looks so lightweight.

To lose at home to these ****** as well being thoroughly caned by Newcastle home and away is hard to take. And obviously throw in Man U top it all off.

[PaulWinch again]

That’s the captain - sums up our mentality today. Pathetic.

I was surprised it was a straight red initially but it was a dreadful hack and a clear sign of a player losing his head.

[TopDeck113]

If we'd gone two up, you'd know it'd end up 2-2.  We don't look like doing anything.

Won’t happen next season

I think the point is that it wasn't dangerous however it was still a red so I agree.

He can get in the fucking bin.
