Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Match Thread

[The Edge]

Spuds fans booing Cash's every touch over a mistimed tackle two years ago. Pathetic.

[Skerra]

I can see why so so many players were rested in the week.

[jwarry]

I think we are doing fine except for giving the ball away cheaply.  Just need to make sure they don’t get up a head of steam.  Alan Smith is talking absolute bollocks

On the bright side, we were fairly rubbish here last season in the first half.

[Woody17]

We might start playing in a minute….

[Monty]

Mcginn man  pass the ball ffs

Losing the ball cheaply now corner spurs

The problem with McGinn playing in an advanced wide right position is that he doesn't possess the threat to beat players on the outside and is always going to come inside.

In theory, when he plays well, he drifts in to help with keeping the ball and put off possession helps with pressing. Not playing well, he has a chainsaw first touch and just occasionally kicks people.

Udogie has four fouls already ref - the first being his worst.

Can't carry on like this all game.

[Demitri_C]

A few individuals don’t look ‘at it’ .
Digne, Cash, Ramsay and Rogers in particular

Think cash has been ok the other three i agree with. Id put youri in there too

We keep losing the ball. Not sure why we are playing so poorly after the midweek rest

[jwarry]

Can't carry on like this all game.

I doubt that’s the plan

Udogie has four fouls already ref - the first being his worst.

Hasn't he been booked yet? Fucking hell.

[astonvilla82]

It would be nice if we could put pressure on there goalkeeper

[Demitri_C]

Terrible freekick.

Great defending pau

[villadelph]

They’re stopping every transition with a foul.

[andyh]

The way we are playing is very, very frustrating
