Aston Villa v Spurs Post-Match Thread

[LeeB]

Yeah, fuck off with that bollocks.

[Meanwood Villa]

Woke up this morning.

Still mortified and appalled over that spectacle last night from my club, Aston Villa, supposedly a proud name worldwide.  I just want to apologise to every West Ham and Forest fan out there over us undermining the integrity of the league.

God knows what will happen on Thursday!

Honestly, apologising to West Ham & Forest fans?? Its a bloody rubbish performance, but who cares about west ham or forest fans?

I know, I know. It's just the way I feel at the moment.  Give me a couple of days: I might feel differently.

Why apologise?? - us resting players is no different to clubs fielding drastically weakened sides in the domestic cups and everyone accepts it as normal. As for West Ham fans blaming us for them being in the bottom three - well silly me thought that was because they've lost 17 games this season. If we get through on Thursday then all this will be just another indication of Emery's genius.

If that was about resting players, why did the one player above all who needs to be rested play all 90
minutes?

Exactly, I just don’t get the rationale behind still putting at risk Rogers and Tielemens.
It’s like Emery tried to get half pregnant.

Jesus Christ, apologising to shit clubs? Absolutely knock that bollocks on the head.

Well morning after the night before. Absolutely shocking “performance”. No real positives and we were utterly outplayed in that first half and lucky to be only 2 down. It was up there with the Drinkwater debut 6-0 v C115y for abject capitulation. My only way to deal with it has been to laugh and mutter “typical fucking Villa” under my breath.

In the grand scheme of things a defeat is hardly the worst thing in the world BUT that’s three in a row, form seems to be patchy at best and the crowd are getting very restless. Unai and the players need to focus in and give us something.

What should’ve been a cruise into CL qualification and hopefully a final appearance is now looking somewhat threadbare and questions will be asked of the management group and this group of players if neither is achieved. This is elite level sport it’s not good enough to be nearly or dare I say it there or thereabouts.

Maybe Crystal Palace should apologise to us for throwing the match v Bournemouth?...No, of course they won't, their boss wants to win (another) trophy.

If West Ham go down the club should give them 20m as an apology. It's the right thing to do.

[martin o`who??]

West Ham fans this morning insinuating that there is some secret scheme to get them relegated instead of Tottenham and we are part of it. Get over yourselves guys, you just aren't that important and we don't really care. We are here for for our benefit not West Hams or Spurs for that matter. You are where you are because you aren't very good - stop trying to blame everyone else for it.

I have slept on, gymed on it, swam on it and I am still very angry. What was Emery thinking sending them out half-arsed? It has never worked before and it is unlikely to work this time.

West Ham can get fucked, if they go and not Spurs it will still be funny and just deserts for stealing that ground.

Same. That performance has really got to me. It was the first thing I thought about as soon as I woke up. Had to get up and make myself busy as I was just laying there stewing about it.

What I don't get is when Unai took over we played a really high line and high tempo football but that resulted in us burning out towards the rest of the season. So we switch to a slower, more controlled style to counter that and we're still Blues, playing with no energy and limping over the line.

I think that’s the real issue, we only rested three and one of them came on as sub.

Watkins was mouthing “Thursday” at the Holte at the end and that was the mentality. Unai’s behaviour showed that as did Tammy telling Martinez to calm things rather than kick long.
