Dreadful

I don't think Spurs even played that well. We were just shite.

Stupid formation and tactics by Emery.

I find it very strange how offended some get when any criticism gets fired Unai's way, though. It's bordering on cult like behaviour.

Both he and the team were appalling today. They'll both be back with a vengeance, I'm sure, but like it or not, Emery got it massively wrong today.

Spurs - ******

Yep, it's full-on weird.

I imagine there’s a race on to be the first to use the words ‘O’Leary’ and ‘fickle’.

Aston Villa.

What’s your point?

I read it as a sardonic point that when the we're on the cusp of something great, trust the Villa to let us down.

I read it as him being pedantic as usual.

Well done unai great starting 11. Biggest game in years and you get us humiliated at home.  Cheers
Most rational people would find it difficult to blame Emery for ‘getting us humiliated’ today. If it’s our biggest game in years, that’s only because Emery has got us into this position in the first place. Maybe Stevie G, or whichever better candidate happens to be out there would have been able to make you prouder?

He has a fair bit of credit in the bank

And, people keep forgetting this season has been achieved despite being without Mings since game week one. That day when Mings went off I thought we would do well to finish top 10.

He does, and I'm glad he's with us, but what has any of that got to do with playing five at the back at home to Spurs?

Well that's up there with Villa 0, Wimbledon 3 and Villa 2, Stoke 2.  Something great is within our grasp and we fuck it up at home.
Was at both. Hope you’re wrong

As good as he can be tactically, that was a tactical disaster from the start. If that was the scouse one, people would be baying for blood so the bloke can be criticised, quite rightly, for that set up, it doesn't mean that people don't also see what he's done in the last 14 months.

Manager and players all had a fucking nightmare today.

However they’re a bloody good bunch and deserve every chance to put this right.

I’m sure they will.

Let’s be totally honest, we are nowhere near as good as we thought we were and haven’t played at the level we really need to for a long time now.

How depressing to so monumentally bottle it in our most important home game for years.

I really hope a result like this fires the team up to prove a point. Because that simply is not good enough today. Its boderline criminal you perform that poorly in front of your own fans. I mean those days of losing 4-0 at home should be  athing in the past.

Recently when we have come up aaginst half decent sides at home we have shat ourselves. Lost to chelsea and newcastle at home. Followed by manure but this was by far the worst.

Emery needs to sort this shit out asap or the seasons gonna fall apart

He does. Absolutely.

And I think that overall he has done an absolutely marvellous job.

But that doesn't change the fact that he was still shit today.

And do you know who will be most critical of Unai Emery today?

It is possible to believe that Emery is the best manager we've had in years who has performed magnificently to get us to where we are, and to think he got it wrong today.

One of those games when you miss Tyrone Mings' captaincy style.  At a time we needed cool heads, McGinn decides to lose his
