Aston Villa vs Spurs post match embarrassment

[aj2k77]

We're notoriously shit at West Ham and then have Wolves who we never seem to do well against these days. Two very tricky games without 2 of our starting midfielders. McGinn has let us down a bit today. Terrible day at the office, can only be made worse if someone has picked up an injury.

Bailey played like he's back on the laughing balloons.

Was he on the laughing balloons previously then?

Yes. Do you not read the papers .

Well on a quick google, not the sort of papers that reported it. But nice of you to recall stories about our players to throw back at them when you need to throw a dummy.

Well bollox to the thread title, I never have been and NEVER will be embarrassed to be a Villa fan.

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?

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

I pretty much said this to my son on the way home. He pointed out Man City won the league after being humped by Everton 4-0. I love facts like that and the fact a soon to be 14 year old can dismantle by melodrama so easily.

It was dreadful today from manager and many players, who looked like they would rather be anywhere but playing football in the cold and rain. But we’re still fourth and still in with a great shout.

Man i wish i could be like your son! I think its more for im getting so much grief from my spurs mates its effecting my emotional state 😂

Its just worrying how bad we are at home now. Honestly its deeply alarming

Again the soon to be 14 year old, queried why our away form is turning into our home form and visa versa. He may have a point.

Man City away after those two as well.

After a non-event first half, 5 minutes of defensive madness didn't need to be followed by McGinn's madness. At 0-2, there's a chance, but not with 10 men.

Whilst it was probably a 'must not lose' game beforehand, it was definitely a 'must not lose like that' game, given the bad scoreline and McGinn's suspension.

Well, that was fucking shit, wasn’t it ?
Strange formation at the start.
Bailey blowing out of his arse after 5 minutes, and Konsa fucking around, essentially killing the game for us.
He has had a shit couple of games since coming back.

Lack of pace, defensively, is becoming very obvious.

What is also very, very obvious is that with no Mcginn, there is no heart, drive and desire in this team.
We looked like w could fight back when he had fired himself up, but as soon as he went off the rest of the team went into their shell.

Not a single shot on target, by my reckoning, and I think that result, coupled with Mcginn missing 3 games has just cost us 4th place.

Well bollox to the thread title, I never have been and NEVER will be embarrassed to be a Villa fan.

But you don't think the team embarrassed us, which is what the title is stating, nothing about the fans.

If asked to write a script detailing the worst possible outcome today, that would have pretty much been it.

I can live with the occasional defeat but this was a serious thrashing borne out of poor tactics and player performance and a lack of discipline by our captain. It could well prove to spoil what has been a great season until now.

Down to Emery and the players to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Let be the first to congratulate Spurs on qualifying for the CL while not being in the CL places and it also being the beginning of March. It will sound like that from the media.

Anyway, first half was nip and tuck then we gave the ball away to gift them the goals, an issue we had all game, keeping the ball. McGinn lost it but I don't want his fire to go out or he'll be half the player he is.

We played poorly, the manager got things wrong and it happens. They weren't much cop really and I would expect Maddison will be getting a phone call from the ref to check what time he's allowed to go to bed tonight.

Gutting. We were so poor.
Awful tackle by SJM. Him missing three games is a huge loss.

I watched in a bar in Thailand. At 2-0 I told mrs we should go as it would end up 4-0.
Imagine my surprise when we got to the next bar and it was 4.

Don’t get me wrong , I’d have snatched your arm off for 4th place mid march , but that’s just felt like a massive kill in the balls.

Thats not what the thread title says

“Well it started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle & the less said about the end the better! But apart from that, excellent!"

Not a good day today. My scores on the doors

Martinez - 6 - didn’t have much to do other than pick the ball out the net a few times.
Cash - 4 - started ok apart from his studs but got worse as it progressed including turning into trouble on numerous occasions.
Konsa - 4 - woeful at first and actually got better as it progressed.
Lenglet - 5 - didn’t seem to do much wrong but lost Maddison for the first.
Torres - 6 - was ok but you can tell he’s not up to speed yet.
Digne - 6 - thought he kept Kulsevski quiet until
Substituted
Luiz - 5 - ineffective
McGinn - 1 - lost his head and was a total twat getting sent off.
Tielemans - 3 - totally ineffective
Bailey - 2 - Mr 50p boots today, back to frustrating Leon today.
Watkins - 5 - ran his bollocks off but not clinical when he did get any ball.

Diaby - 2 - did nothing of note
Zaniolo - 2 - did nothing of note
Moreno - 2 - did nothing of note
Tim I - 4 - helped shore it up and had a few nice touches
Carlos - 3 - nearly gave away two more goals

Unai - 2 - totally wrong set up, handed the initiative to them, one of his poorest performances as the Manager.

I can’t tell you how fucking annoyed I am with McGinn, just when you need a captains performance of control and urgency you get headless chicken and he’ll miss the next 3 games. Time for Tim I to step up.

Think Konsa was more like a 1/10. Lenglet did nothing wrong I thought. And as far Carlos...cameo from hell and then some!

Tielemans is a nothing player I'm afraid these days.

I found a live scallop on the beach, I’ve come home and me and my daughter have prepared, cooked and ate it.

Prior to this we was drawing 0-0. I sheltered in a pub for the second half with my family and sank two pints watching us fall apart.

Blame me if you like, but the scallop was delicious.

We were poor today no question, plenty of below average performances. Embarrassing? No, not for me.
