Aston Villa vs Spurs post match embarrassment

[aj2k77]

All Tottenham players seem to have wanker celebrations.

[ROBBO]

Think SJMs sending off was more to do with his frustration with his teammates more the anything else, he was trying to fly the flag, at least you could see the fight in him which was sadly lacking with many of his team.

Basically I just don't like Spurs.

I think Maddison and Johnson are decent players, but just seeing them score irritates me.

Maddison is such a smug little fucker with his darts nonsense, and I think he was aiming them at our fans? Johnson winking at Mr Darts after scoring and shushing our fans? A pair of bellends.

I know they're footballers and probably have to have some form of rubbish celebration, but still. Fuck off.

Maddison was coping a fair amount of abuse from our fans. You can't really blame him for giving a bit back when he scored

Watching the SKY sports interview last night with Mr. Emery, he was really pissed off at the questions he was being asked - one word answers to a fair few of them.

Hopefully we can bounce back against Ajax and West Ham.

Also thought our support was very quiet through out the game.

He was being let down badly.
Bailey and Diaby should be embarrassed by their performances.

Spurs were the better side yesterday. Van de Ven pocketed Bailey for 50 minutes, something which has been quite rare this season. Their press worked far better than ours as the game went on, the Villa midfield was by-passed for most of the game. We gift them two goals and a one man advantage. The other two were their “ cherry on the icing on the cake.”

I didn’t really get why we went 5 across the back. The only time I can recall it working was against Burnley. I follow that with the absence of Ramsey, the left sided “get out” was missing but why not start Diaby Watkins and Bailey, or use Morgan over on the left side. A change of formation, one we have not played for some time is not really what you want to be doing against a decent Tottenham side.

So, it’s three wins in four as opposed to four wins in a row in the league. Not quite meltdown point just yet, although I do wish we could get out of this recent habit of losing to our closest rivals … at home!

Bollocks, I’d forgotten that Kalvin Philips is now at West Ham now and, from what I’ve seen, he has been quite shit so far. The bad part is that he’s obviously due a good game at some point.So, expect a world master class plus, maybe a worldie goal next Sunday. He will then be offered a much improved contract immediately after the match and, then return to what he usually does best, nothing!

Don't worry yourself about that. Kalvin Phillips hasn't got a world class goal in him. He's bang average at best. Southgate seems to rate him highly but his judgement isn't very good.

Bailey and Watkins has Bailey and Watkins under Gerrard performances. Diaby never looked comfortable once when he came on.

With the midfield we are gunna have to put out i cant see any points from our next three games ,

[Demitri_C]

Based on what i saw today, they would have trounced us at home if they ahd all their players available

They are better than us and have more squad depth. It fucking pains me to say it.  I think they did somw great business in the summer while ours looks mixed now

Hang on, more than two third of the season gone and let me check, yes they are still below us in the table. FFS get a grip will you?

No shit sherlock but they have a game in hand you must have forgot about that part. I dont need to "get a grip" they had 7 players out and thats only reason we went there and won. They had no maddison romero VDV or bissouma. Thats only four of the players missing.

We were close to fall strength and got humiliated.  Of you want to accept mediocre results like this than thats down to you. I for one can accept losing but not getting beaten 4-0 by our closest rivals at home. If 5th doesnt get CL and we finish 5th and lose out on GD yesterday would be one of the main reasons for that. Not exactly rocket science

[The Edge]

Yesterday was terrible. It started going wrong when Ollie was clean through (later called offside) and inexplicably decided to pass the ball. A total brain fart. We just got worse and worse from that point on. It felt like we did what they are notorious for and became all "spursy" under the pressure. Unai got this one wrong with our line up. We looked light in midfield and while we usually have Emi standing over the ball enticing the opposition to challenge him which creates space Spurs had four players lined up on the edge of our box. We needed to react to that with a different approach but for once we were found wanting and we didn't have any kind of plan B. All we can do now is learn from that and bounce back. Worryingly our GD took a battering too. Spurs clawed back 4 and Man Yoo knocked 6 goals off our advantage over them.

Our midfield Luiz Tielemens Tim + one of  Zaniolo Rogers Diaby shudders.

[Risso]

This is truly pathetic from Zaniolo and Moreno. Both need an absolute rocket up them at Emery's video debrief today. Unacceptable.

We were awful, and 3-4 times now at home we have been found out by sides going man for man across the pitch and us having no out ball. I think Emery tried to change formation to counter that but we were a yard slower in mind and body than Spurs.

Watkins, Bailey, Luiz, Konsa, Cash, Diaby, Zaniolo and Lenglet were all poor, miles off their best. Midfield has been an issue for a while with pure fatigue - Doug has looked out on his feet for weeks, Tielemans can't run, Tim is not at the level needed yet and we have no natural holding player without Kamara. This summer we are going to need to scout very well, and pad the squad a bit or we will struggle next season.


My over riding issue yesterday was that if McGinn is going to get a straight red, do it taking Maddision out the game, I can't stand that fuckwit.

I'll give it a good go.

It's like him and Joe were separated at birth. Morons. Thankfully both have a tendency to get injured.

Throwing a pretend dart at fans? Appalling behaviour. Children could be watching! 😂
