Aston Villa v Spurs Post-Match Thread

[danno]

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.

This is true and unbelievably aggravating.

It’s not quite true.  We could have beaten them and then watched them still stay up by winning some of their remaining games.

We missed the opportunity to keep them two points behind West Ham, not outright relegate them.

This is why I also think he will not get a job with a really elite club again. Too many days like this trying to be too clever.

[russon]

Well. That was bad.

that's at least three notches above the truth, even 'bad' would have got us a point against that shower but we couldn't raise our game beyond 'atrocious'

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?

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

Again, please enlighten me as to your meaning. If my problem is reading, yours is writing clearly.

This is true but beating them would have halted any revival from their win last week, left them in the drop zone with Forest still to play and given us some confidence after a crap performance last week (x2).

Without massive surgery in the squad over the summer, this team is relegation fodder. Don’t tell me we are 5th. I dont want to hear it. Ever since that mega run (where we fluked a load of wins) we have been bad. Really bad.

[steamer]

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.

I agree
Most of those players tonight should not be at VP next year
Passion and Pace is what we need
But Uni needs to look in a mirror also
He sends out the team and sets the style

I'd just ask you whose post you initially replied to.

This is true. 4 wins in 15.

[Flamingo Lane]

I'm sure we all have our own oersonal highlights from that game. I think mine was the corner kick routine very early in the second half, when Sancho played it short, and was immediately flagged offside on receiving it straight back.

[Somniloquism]

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.

They played a weakened side in this match last year to help us go for CL and we pinky-sweared we would do the same when they called in the favour.

[onebyone12]

Anyone who reckons we are getting anything on Thursday is delulu season is over. Maybe we limp into chumps maybe we don't, I couldn't give a fuck either way

All Tielemans that.

Stage was set tonight from minute 1. Martinez taking ages  to take goal kicks and none of ours pressuring their keeper when he was taking theirs
