Spurs v Villa Post Match Thread.

[PeterWithesShin]

1-8 in our last 2 games against these twats. At least it's only Liverpool away next in the league.

You are usually the good luck omen in match threads

Like the fire I didn't start it, and was only on for the last bit.

I’ll let them off as they were tired after the League Cup Game.

Pretty clear Morgan is essential to our team.  1-1 when he went off and we were looking for the winner

[villadelph]

Not going to overreact - it was a bad game that snowballed.

They clearly wanted to stymie our attack by fouling in the middle third.. similar to Man City. They weren’t punished for it.

On the whole, passes out of the back need to be better and we can’t rely on Onana to be everywhere at once to break up play. Not great play on our wings, which could help justify a January purchase. Bailey off form, Jaden struggling a little and Diabys departure leave us asking for a little more.

It’s a shame Morgan had to go off, certainly hurt our shape. Still 2 points ahead and in a decent spot, grand scheme. Need a result in the next two.

Bad day at the office, UTV.

Simply not good enough.  As bad as it has been under Unai.

[Meanwood Villa]

That was a horrible second half. Thought we looked really solid first half so not sure what changed.

[Monty]

Said after ten minutes that it was the worst display of the season, and it got worse from there. Unai has a massive problem against high-pressing teams who smother the midfield.

Good thing it's Liverpool next.

[Paul.S]

Well this one can’t be put down to being tired. We’ve had a whole week to prepare and the  second half was a a bad as we’ve been under Emery.
A big miss at 1-0 up and then an absolute capitulation against a team that isn’t all that. We need to be much tighter in midfield and much, much better in defence.

[SamTheMouse]

There's a reason nobody plays 4-4-2 any more. It's fucking shit.

[TopDeck113]

A shit defence. A midfield that was too often overrun second half.  Ollie not on it like he was last season.   We're not as good as some of the post-Champions League games hype would have you believe.

[VillaTim]

We look a mid table team and our form since January backs it up.
The defence is a mess and the rebuild has to start there . Konsa and Mings need to be the 2 CB's and that means Torres is on the bench

[nick harper]

Couldn’t cope with their press. Never had any composure. Why do we not try and win the ball higher up any more?

[DB]

Not turned up against decent opposition this season.

[eamonn]

An unhappy birthday for Unai .Shame. Lot of folk blaming the defence but for me Ollie has to shoulder an awful lot of it.

Didn't have him as a Smiths fan. Last night I dreamt that Villa loved me.

[Baldy]

After the last two years, I will excuse Unai for a shit week.

To avoid swearing, will say no more.
