The Mighty Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur Match Thread

[Fulford]

Top 4 this season would have definitely been overachieving

We'll blow the ECL too.

I can't see these bottle jobs achieving anything.

Diaby has lost his entire confidence, A shell of a player.

This is the problem when you would 'take a draw' away to teams. This is why it's a huge problem. You can't be losing to bottom 10 teams home or away if you want top 4.

And you can't be happy with a draw against shit teams because days like today always happen.

McGinn has killed us. Moreno running with lead in his boots like he has played the whole game.

The depressing thing is before McGinn red even at 2-0 down we just needed 1 goal and we might be back in it. Spurs defence is leaky and Van der Ven went off. His conduct just totally and utterly stupid and he’ll miss 3 games when we’re already without Kamara. Brainless idiot.

Really reminded me of Scottish players of yesteryear when the red mist used to come down. Can't get away with it now.

The curse of the French player.

The whole thing.....terrible.

Is that a podcast.

 

[Fulford]

WTF again Diaby!

Unai has a bit too much faith in them. When we went 1-0 down we should have immediately made the change. The game plan was done when that happened.

McGinn completely lost the head tho. 2-0 down at home to these wasn’t insurmountable.

May as well throw Duran on to be honest. This is going no where. We needed to do more in January in order to see top four over the line.

We spent 15 million on a Middlesbrough bench youth player. What more do you want?

 

[CDX_EIRE]

There’s a goal here for us

 

[Fulford]

This is a fucking stupid substitution when you're 2 down.

 

[Villan62]

2-0 down and he brings on a CB & DM

 

[MrLoverLover]

Think this game shows spurs are a bigger club than us. Mentality is far more elite than ours and they turn up when it matters.

Is Rogers on the bench

 

[Fulford]

I would have put Duran on to create some chaos.

Is Rogers on the bench

Yes.

I don't think Unai is fussed. He knows this is lost.

 

[MrLoverLover]

I worry about us moving forward. Blow top 4 and signing championship players in January. We’ve seen the Villa battling the big boys before only to become utterly shite within a few years and it’s happened to the likes of Leicester and Everton. Maybe today has just drained me and I’m overthinking it.

Nailed on to finish with 9 but he might have scored a rocket.
