Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

[robotsonic]

Meh. Hopefully this means that the good 15 mins we have in us is yet to come

 

[Cochise]

Yup. Need to be more game smart.

Arsenal, City and liverpool players all hit the deck there....

I'd argue that Arsenal, City and Liverpool get given it straight away yet ours would not and VAR wouldn't overturn it.

 

[Johnny J]

Sarr injured?

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

The better team, just no combinations around the box. That last play summed it up. In a dangerous area then passed it all the way back.

Think we'll be happier than Villa

Maybe, but the brutal reality is we've had 1 shot to their 5.

 

[walton]

VDV for me has been very good but Johnson def been the best attacker. In general tho it’s a very disjointed display. Really need to get into gear

Yeah, VDV superb. Was referring to our attackers who have been pretty toothless

 

[GutBucket]

Great start but rest of the match was dull. Not much creativity today and other than Johnson players are making bad runs. Crossing has been pretty shit too.

 

[rossdapep]

Why we refuse to play the ball over the top, utilize overlapping runs, cross and shoot more I just don't get.

I cannot believe that is per Ange's instructions.

That last attack just sums us up at the moment. Breaking forward and stopping and playing it back and the refs blows for half-time.

Yeah someone has to try get a shot off.

But those things normally come when confidence is sky high and you don't think about what you are doing.

We are not making split second decisions rather delaying and then that gives them time to reorganize

 

[Marantz]

Was it a foul on Sarr in the end? missed it on TV

 

[Dr Know]

I’m happy we’ve not conceded. We’re normally a second half team, so hopefully we come out and get some goals

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Apart from back 4 and especially VDV, we’re looking pretty terrible

Disagree with this completely. I don’t think we look incredible, but terrible was last year when we were 4-0 down to Newcastle. They’ve been fine, if not a little toothless up front (but we know that needs sorting)

 

[kitchen]

I'd argue that Arsenal, City and Liverpool get given it straight away yet ours would not and VAR wouldn't overturn it.

Also true sadly.

 

[markt]

Apart from back 4 and especially VDV, we’re looking pretty terrible

So do Villa to be fair.

Pretty low quality game all around. Son has had a number of good runs ignored, just to bring it down and play it safe.

Don't think Ange will be pleased with the consistent slowing it down.

 

[Tonio]

Apart from back 4 and especially VDV, we’re looking pretty terrible

I wouldn't say terrible its just a bit ordinary and 'meh' as millennials would say.

 

[Mr Pink]

Yeah poor half. Only Udogie and Johnson are trying to make something happen.

And we seem determined to gift them opportunities.

Love to see us play with more determination/confidence

Villa arent that great

 

[bubble07]

Not as open as I hoped which makes this game harder for us

 

[offside_ruel_fox]

Could be famous last words but Villa feel like first half team and we seem to be perform better in the second. 0-0 at half time maybe isn’t a bad result. Just wish we’d start games with more intent.

 

[theShiznit]

With a bit more care in the final third we could easily be ahead.

Maddison needs to play it a bit more simple he seems to be trying too hard to make things happen again and it's not coming off.

 

[Tucker]

There’s really nothing between the two teams. Aside from a moronic ref giving them the edge here and there.

Hoping their European away trip takes its toll and we can finish the game strongly and take the points.

 

[TC18]

We look blunt up top today

I feel like we always do. It’s a problem for us that needs addressing properly in the summer.
