Aston Villa vs Spurs post match embarrassment

[Dave]

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.

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?

Particularly when in the away fixture against them it was going from five at the back to four at the back that stopped us playing like shit.

[Smirker]

Well done unai great starting 11. Biggest game in years and you get us humiliated at home.  Cheers

Yes cheers Unai for getting us to a point where we are challenging at the top again.

Today wasn't great but oh well we're in the race for 4th with 2 months to go.

I trust him and the team. We'll get CL football for next season.

Oh Unai. I think he feared getting overrun without Kamara so he went with the back five but it's such a negative move at home. I could have just about stomached a defeat but losing McGinn for three games is a hammer blow, who is going to play now against West Ham, Wolves and Man City... Chambers?!

[JUAN PABLO]

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

must have been the hour flight as we hardly got out of first gear in that game .

[VillaTim]

Cash didn't play in midfield.

He didn't play in defence either .

You put it better than I could, thanks

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.

I don’t think we will. We look absolutely spent.

You see it in performances like today plus the failure to create anything at Ajax, almost shitting the bed at Luton, trying to do the same against Forest, the Man United result.

I honestly can’t remember the last time we played well for any more than 45 minutes and even when we manage that decent 45 we ultimately totally shit the bed in the second half.

That was humiliating today, though, and if that wasn’t enough, it’s against Spurs so now we get to experience a full week of the media going on about it.

I thought Tim did okay.

Those games sap energy.

It's bollocks....we played in first gear on Thursday. Think Emery got both games horribly wrong in all honesty.

Insert Ricky Gervais “ooh you’re hard” gif.

Tb be fair, I'm always willing to cut boutrosboutrosgnarly some slack as he has the best user name on H&V.

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.

What points have you made that wasnt a dig at me? Im here to debate villa im not interested in attacking anyone. Im obviously deeply upset at the reault and passionate about my club

No one saying emery out just criticising him for qhat happened today. Even wolves managed to beat these lot. We put in a pretty cowardly performance today and tahts what is upsetting. Mcginn let us all down with his reckless actions

Also im sorry i cant agree with the europe game.it was ajax and it wasnt that hard a game. That's excuses for .e

[pablo_picasso]

I thought Tim did okay.

He mentioned his mother-in-law too much...

[JUAN PABLO]

I could actually get over the loss howver gutting I feel right now but the SJM sending off is whats worrying me . No Kamara , SJM and we dont know about JJ yet and Youri has been poor lately , is the midfiled good enough to beat West Ham and Wolves , the Man City match is just Nul Points as we know.

[steamer]

1st half both equally crap, second half, capitulation utter crap
Where is the heart in the team ?
I do not mean SJM acting like a pratt but Luis and Konsa should have, but did not stand up.
