Aston Villa v Spurs Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Rogers has started 47 of our 51 games and come on as sub in the other 4. Plus 7 internationals. It's no wonder he's looking jaded.

Spurs are probably safe now.  If that's the result that saves them, we've missed a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Everytime Spurs beat us, pip us to a European place, outbid us for a transfer target, injure one of our players or negatively affect us in anyway, we'll be harking back to this day and this result.

We had the opportunity to set them back 4 or 5 years, and under DeZerbi, they won't be as bad again next season.

Emery makes no sense. He claims the priority is the league, but then plays Bogarde over Luiz. I’ve never been the biggest Luiz fan, but even I know he’s light-years better than Bogarde.

He’s also completely burned out Rogers, which is borderline neglect.

Bogarde was one of our better players considering he worked mainly by himself. How it took 85 minutes to replace Barkley who at best was going through the motions I'll never know. And people moan about Buendia. At least he fucking cares. Shocking performance but then playing him as a 10 was a joke.

Bogarde was absolutely useless. Completely anonymous and when he did get the ball was too incompetent to do anything with it. But Barkley was equally inept tbh.

We should issue an apology for effectively throwing the game like that, playing a league cup team who showed little desire. To quote Graham Taylor against Forest in 1989, that was the most disgraceful and inept performance from any team Ive been involved with.

This is true and unbelievably aggravating.

[Randy Gurner]

Abysmal. if we don’t win on Thursday then tonight’s line up, performance and consequent impact on the players and fanbase could be the turning point for Emery’s progress.

[algy]

Embarrassingly shit.

I’m not a happy boy.

Every player is up for sale in the summer, not 1 player deserves to be here.
No fight, total lower 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.

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.

You're really odd.

I am odd for not wanting a manager who, according to your initial description, would not want to be here because he does not think he can improve us? That seems like a pretty sensible position to hold.

I don't remember saying anything like that. You must have me confused with the scribbled crayon screaming in your head.

He “has hit his ceiling” suggests he thinks he cannot improve us and needs to leave. What does “hit his ceiling” mean to you?

And leave off the rest of your nonsense, eh?

That's exactly right, for them to have been relegated would have set them back years, what we have now will be a team reinvented next season, lets hope we don't have to meet them whereby we are in a precarious position because they will put us to the sword without mercy and with great pleasure.

[PaulWinch again]

That was the most pathetic “performance” I’ve seen in years. They should all be utterly embarrassed. We’ve been rubbish since January, but that’s the first time I feel we’ve actually chucked it.

Dismal - all of them.

Ah. Your problem isn't insanity I now see. It's reading.

[AlexAlexCropley]

This is more exciting

[Somniloquism]

10 years ago give or take a week we were relegated. Maybe the players playing like that was one of those tribute things we have done in the past.

[Stu]

Well. That was bad.

[kippaxvilla2]

Throwing the game like that is a utter disgrace

And while I think you are prone to hyperbole at times i honestly think this is what happened tonight.
