Aston Villa v Spurs Post-Match Thread

[Holy Trinity]

Every player is up for sale in the summer, not 1 player deserves to be here.
No fight, total loser mentality and its happening consistently.

I honestly think Unai is going in the summer, he had a look of a man who knows he's hit his ceiling with us tonight.

So angry I messed up an edit

[AlexAlexCropley]

Rogers on the turf and Emery muttering to himself as he exits is not a good look

[itmustbe_it is!]

This will be forgotten when we win on Thursday

[Caribbeanvillan]

Buendia man of the match...says it all.

[Mellin]

4D chess tbh. Balls of steel. Forest gonna have to work hard tomorrow. What team will they play Thursday now?

[curiousorange]

I really don't think Emery has it in him to rebuild this carbuncle of a squad. Thursday seems like the final opportunity to cap his era with something other than vibes.

Beggers belief, we could now have been celebrating Champions League next season, (bar the shouting), now we go into a 2nd leg against a team that will be seriously buoyed by this result and that includes factoring in the 7 player laid off tonight because they have already beaten them.

[OzVilla]

A disgraceful performance. Dreadful line up, application and tactically inept. We embarrassed ourselves. Last we’ll see of Barkley and Mings in Villa shirts.

You’d almost think they bunged us a few quid to do that. Massive missed opportunity on so many levels.

This will be forgotten when we win on Thursday

we will win 1-0 and lose on penalties. We will miss all of them.

[TopDeck113]

After Thursday I thought we'd lose, after West Ham lost yesterday I could guarantee it.

Remember ten years ago when we were as shit as Spurs (well shitter if we're honest), how many teams chasing Champions League qualification rolled over for us? Fucking none.  But Villa?  Every time.  This will come back to haunt us in both the short and medium term.

Disgusting. I'm sure  Damian Five Bellies will be whooping up the troops for Thursday.. Spin and not much substance seems to be our stock in trade.

[Monty]

An actual atrocity. A crime. An offence. The fans should be refunded. Fuck, I should be refunded. They should pay for my WiFi after that one. As bad as anything I've seen.

Also - hate for Watkins, for Pau, for Onana, for Konsa? sorry but naff off. Look what happens without them. Mings isn't good enough, Barkley's mostly not good enough, Abraham is aggressively not good enough, Sancho should be in jail, Lindelof is (broadly) good enough but not as good as Konsa. Apologies for those guys c/o Aston Villa Player Liaison.

If that is his attitude, I hope he does. That performance is as much on him as anyone else. Disgraceful team selection with CL on the line.

[Steve67]

I just hope Emery is honest with himself when he's interviewed.  Wank selection, inept ponderous performance.  Second best in every position.  Only one shot on target, a lack of movement, no energy, poor passing, every free kick and corner was wasted.  Really, really poor performance.  Abject display.  Why is it that we limp towards the end of the season, make stupidly shit decisions. 

[Caribbeanvillan]

Looks like Emery has put all his eggs in the Europa League basket.
