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.

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.

That's fair enough, mate.

He's been fantastic, but we all know that.

We're reacting to what we're seeing on the pitch in an important game, that's all. It's very hard to look at the bigger picture all the time, particularly when things are going badly in the moment.

Lots of criticism of unai for playing cash there, but I struggle to see how else we play considering our lack of options in midfield atm.
Mcginn the biggest disappointment for me, gave it the big un in the week and has really given us a huge problem now in the next few games. Fuming with him, absolutely fuming

The fans who applauded him off after the red card are utterly braindead too

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.

That’s mainly it. We’ve stretched a relegation team to the absolutely limits against sides who have operated at the top end for most of the years we’ve been shit. It’s very us to fuck it up late on at a critical moment of course. Let’s hope with enough of the season to go we can find an another gear to recover from this.

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.
It all depends. What you read can be taken on a textual, inter-textual or meta-textual level.

Aston Villa.

I think Cash played midfield because we didn't have Kamara to play his usual role so he shuffled things around.

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

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.

Exactly... no-one is above criticism

Cash didn't play in midfield.

Both of these things are true - Unai is a brilliant manager who has done a brilliant job here. Today he fucked up.

Well done unai great starting 11. Biggest game in years and you get us humiliated at home.  Cheers
Yeah nearly as embarrassing as your toys out the pram posts every time we lose.

Stop trying to point score its pretty sad and pathetic. Talk about the game FFS
No point scoring involved simply you make comments I don't agree with I'll say what the fuck I like.

Roy Keane just said the game in Europe took the edge of us. He's spot on.

Wolves manager said yesterday he hopes Wolves don't finish in Conference League spot this season as they couldn't handle it next season!!

After watching Villa today, he might just be right.

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?

Mate there is losing a game, and there is losing a game like this. Top teams do not lose 4-0 at home against a team they want to finish above. We looked DREADFUL. Im sorry but when you perform that poorly you deserve to be criticised. It was awful today. Emerys selection was all wrong and it all falls on him
