Spurs v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[RamboandBruno]

Lovely win. It reminded me a bit of the 2-0 on new years day in Unais first season. Soak up the pressure for first 50 odd minutes, then pick them apart.
As Monty said earlier in the thread Brazilesque 2nd goal…though I’d go for the class of WC 82.
Thought Rogers and bizarrely Digne got kicked all over the park today…do we keep on booing Danso for the next 10 years?
Anyway watched the game on a phone, whilst standing in the pissing rain watching my lads team. They won a scrappy affair 3-2, with the final whistle going on both games at the same time. Home to dry off, a lovely lasagne and hot cup of tea..a good Sunday to be alive!!

Yes you did seem very happy with both like I was UTV my grandson played in that game Lewis

Fair play Tricky, good to know your a fellow H&V er

McGinn, Cash prepared to send a 70 yard pass down the right. There's good control in from Lucas Digne. Oh, it must be and it is! It's Emiliano Buendia.

Some great comments on MOTD from Shay Given, 'gets better each time you watch it...best goal I've seen this season...world class..it's a PlayStation goal...

Fair play to Shay, he gave it plenty of praise. Obviously I enjoyed the goal and the win it brought, but it reminded me of one of those TikTok videos where a guy kicks a coke bottle off two walls and a fridge before it drops in the bin.

Another (pitchside) angle for Emi's goal. https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1980016101602755002

Struggling to sort the gold, silver and bronze rankings for:

A) Matty Cash's 70 yard drilled half volley pass

B).Lucas Digne plucking the ball out of the air at almost head height and then flicking it back almost in one movement

C) Emi Buendia cutting inside and tucking one away in the far corner from outside the area with his weaker foot

C was mightlily impressive and was the easy part.

[Somniloquism]

That goal certainly should win GotM and is a good shout for GOTS, which considering we didn't even enter in August is some going.

For me it’s the 2nd Digne touch - less eye catching but the awareness to pop it directly back into Buendia’s path. 👨‍🍳😘

Agreed, without Digne's ridiculous first touch, Cash's pass is over hit.

Thought Maatsen defended very well late on. Both full backs switched on to those crosses to the back post. Hopefully a sign that Maatsen is improving defensively.

As stated earlier subs were spot on.  Ollie panicked them, Bartley did some really progressive work, as per your comments re Maatsen and top it all Buendia goal

Bartley was certainly a surprising sub to bring on 😀 Bogarde you would assume would have been on there for Onana. Emery seems to have been very impressed with Watkins efforts off the bench, he's usually shite/sulky when coming on.

Anyone else seen the state of Digne’s ankle after that challenge by Danso? Big, deep cut that will require stitches.

I suspect it is because previously he has been dropped to the bench when fully fit where he knew this time was because of still suffering effects from the collision during the internationals. But MOTD showed the work rates for both him and Lil Emi after they came on.

Yes I saw that. It looks really nasty and he might be unavailable on Thursday. Just one of several nasty challenges the ref missed.

He's not alone, but Simon Hooper is particularly useless.

[eamonn]

Bentancur reminds me of Hourihane a bit. A passenger in midfield off the ball but a good knack for scoring from deep.

All our lads ball-watched as he made himself available for his goal yesterday.
Without the deflection off Onana, it looked like it was heading straight to Martínez so they had enough good fortune yesterday without claiming we were lucky.

[rob_bridge]

Disgraceful challenge that - booked him. How there was not VAR red card check is beyond me
