Aston Villa vs Spurs post match embarrassment

[ez]

Apparently we had 31 percent possession yesterday. For a home game that's really embarrassing.

Their options in central midfield yesterday were Sarr, Bissouma, Bentancur, Hojberg and Lo Celso. Five expensive international players (they also have that Skippety Skipp fella). Ours are Kamara, Luiz, McGinn before we get down to Tim or shifting Tielemans back there. They are years ahead of us in terms of squad depth and can money on squad fillers which we just can't.

Yet we are still ahead of them in the table even after yesterday. No doubt they will have a wobble themselves on the run in and might have an injury or suspension to a key player or two.

But just looking at their revenues, age profile of their squad and finally getting in a non toxic coach, they are going to be a force for the foreseeable.

Nobody will know if they have any injuries though…media won’t mention it :-)

Only player they seemed short of yesterday was the Brazilian Troy Deeney up front

Was impressed with them to be fair, they had 5/6 in the first half constantly operating the fast high press which was why Konsa / Lenglet in particular always seemed short of time on the ball

Why did Maddison have to score? Can’t stand the Coventry twat.

Emery sent the team out to play a certain way. It didn't work, we lost badly in the end (to a good team).

Emery doesn't get it wrong very often, he's been absolutely fantastic for this club. 

4th place with 10 games to go is an incredible position....all to play for.

UTV

Can’t argue with any of that

Agreed, Unai will make Aston Villa great again.

Spurzz still got their bogey team in the game in hand who have already beat them 4 1   at Spurzz ground so plenty to play for .   McGinn is a massive kick in the balls  but I believe we will do Chumps league .

Not when you’re down to 10 men for the last 40
Minutes of the game.

There is one bit of good news.  We officially cannot be relegated now.

And although we’ve also got to play them spurs have the top three all in a row and Chelsea away.  Long way to go yet.  I’m more worried about our form in the last two games though we’ve seemed very off it.  Injury toll catching up?

Although it was also 30% in the first half. TBH the setup was to frustrate them and for us to hit them on the break. We had 5 chances at goal and they managed only 5 touches in the box so it was working. But Unai forgot that the teams half time cocoa and story sends them to sleep for about 15 minutes which was the downfall of the system.

...and at least our average points per match is still ahead of that of Spurs!

Good player though, isn’t he?

[alanclare]

We didn't "go for it" at any stage of the match. We didn't have a shot on target in the first half, then conceded our usual soft shite goals just after the break, two of them, at which point the game was over.

Sums it up for me.

Yeah, no.
