Spurs v Villa Post Match Thread.

[jwarry]

Shit week!

Emery looked like a rabbit in the headlights today. He had no idea how to counter spurs system. Just carry on as we are and hope for the best.

Better team won and that capitulation was really poor. Kamara should have been on much earlier, and going two up front when we were being overrun in midfield was baffling.

Depressingly, I'm starting to think we will only win the Champions League this season.

This is what I said to my brother, the last thing we needed was going two up top. Ah well, serves me right to be confident about anything.

Dismal stuff. That’s 3 games against top 10 teams and we’ve got 1 point. In the league we really haven’t been particularly good this year. We’ve had a nice run of fixtures and played well in patches but we consistently gift terrible goals away and were also off the boil going forward. If our level doesn’t go up significantly we’ll drop away.

Plus two consecutive games where Spurs have humiliated us, brilliant. Zero for pretty much everyone involved except Rogers.

[PhilVill]

Dreadful 2nd half. Torres was laughably bad, as was Watkins who is nothing like the player he was last year and gets far too many free passes. Mings and Kamara play against Brugge and I think we need Mings and Konsa back in that defence asap. Try and find a system for Kamara to play alongside Onana, a 4-2-3-1. You have to take the game to teams like Spurs. Fuck around and they'll dick on you.

Feels like this kind of result has been coming. We didn't capitalise on an easy start, threw points away against newly promoted Ipswich, a chaotic man u, and a - to be fair decent - Bournemouth at the death. Those were poor performances from us and we were due a tonking IMO. We've been far from convincing in the league and we cannot have any complaints today against a team who we will be competing with for another season of European football.

Thought Onana was good. First half pretty good. Subs ruined us - no natural replacement for Rogers and Pau didn’t cope well with the high press.

[PaulWinch again]

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.

If it was I’d be less worried. We’ve been rubbish in plenty of games this season, but the opposition has been weak.

[eamonn]

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

I know our form was 9th Jan-May but isn't it back up to 5th Jan-now? Might be skewed by playing less "big teams".

As awful as the second half was, Spurs are capable of doing this - losing at home before getting a quick-fire salvo of goals in the second half. The points dropped at Ipswich and last week hurt more.

[Jane]

And now we've got to support Man U FFS to stay 5th. 🤬

[JUAN PABLO]

Seem to go worse when cash went off, the defence went to pieces , carlos , konsa and Torres all over the place.

Mcginn rubbish  and  Watkins rubbish .

Spurs aint that good but obviously made them look like real madrid but could have just been Bolton and still won.


Stop giving the fcukers a week off .

[jwarry]

And now we've got to support Man U FFS to stay 5th. 🤬

Never!

[PeterWithesShin]

Second half we offered very little threat going forward, no midfield, and a shit defence.

Other than that though we were ok.

[Brazilian Villain]

Got to admit, that's a sore one.

[levico]

Is this the beginning of the unravelling or just a blip?
