Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Was just thinking, perhaps the pitch isn't the right size for our boys today??

 

[jimbo]

On the plus side: I'm always a bit nervous if we go in a goal or two up at half-time because I think it makes us complacent in the second-half.

On the negative side: we're fucking dreadful.

 

[ardiles]

At some point in the second half I hope to see these changes -
Kane for Ade
Fazio for Kaboul
Stambouli for Capoue

As only three subs are allowed, I think Lamela has to stay on the bench but we'll probably see
him come on, as I doubt Poch will take his captain off.

 

[paulcumpstone]

shows how far we've fallen, rose is no longer the weak link in this team.

 

[faymantaray]

I wish to revise my previous 3-0 Spurs prediction.

To 3-1 Spurs... surely?

 

[StockSpur]

Levy had 'that look' when the camera was pointed at him..

 

[BTN1]

Tbh our bench looks stronger than all the starting 11

 

[CrazyHeart]

I genuinely knew that Ade would fuck up that 1 on 1.

Kaboul is becoming a bit of a caricature of himself.

When did we last stop a cross come in from the flanks? Get tighter for Christs sake.

Yeah, I wasn't holding my breath on that Ade 1 on 1 either.

 

[nightgoat]

I'd be fuming if I was Harry Kane and I was on the bench watching Soldado and Adebayor taking my spot.

At least Soldado created our best opportunity. Adebayor, unsurprisingly, has been pony. Although he's not the only one.

 

[2bearis2do]

Worst thing is - I think we have found our current level - and I really mean this.
Brighton or a Greek team (with a 7500 capacity) at home and we can cope.
I'm very worried at our current state - I just can't see the light.
CentreBacks - Joke.
FullBacks - Doing what?
Midfield - Non-existant.
Width - Non- existant
Upfront - Between them? Two league goals all season.
Someone show me the light?!?! Pleeeaaasseee!

Saving Grace - Hugo Lloris - poor fella.

 

[Jamturk]

Capoue, Kaboul, and Adebayor are complete toilet.

Adebayor really?

No agenda here then

 

[whitelanefever]

Mason is the only one to turn up, the rest dog shit. Dembele on for Capoue ( looks like a French Carlton Palmer on todays performance) & Townsend for Ade.. we need somebody to push Lowton in the opposite direction, he's getting forward unopposed to easily.

 

[noiseboy55]

Big 45 minutes coming up.

 

[Jaffer99]

Nothing so far this season with Poch has shown me any confidense that we will finish in the top half. Utter clueless from players and manager...

 

[Bulletspur]

This team is simply incapable of playing from behind. We had chances to bring in leaders in the summer and we didn't.

Who?

 

[iluvsteffenfreund]

U cannot afford to carry people. And capoue adds nothing. Not a table made all game. Doesn't win a header but passes backwards and sideways and 1 yard! How is he in the side ?

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Anything but 3 points is unacceptable

Whuch game are you talking about?

 

[carpediem1906]

pink,

ade needs to stay on.

dembele for capoue.
lamela for chadli.

we need to punch through their soft centre.

kane on later if ade / soldado really are not doing much.

both are doing well atm.

we are not protecting our full backs, which is only ok if we cut off the supply. and supply comes from cm.

so we need to press them, and out muscle them.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

I'd have Adebayor off, put Lamela on, push Soldado up. But now we are one down I'm guessing Pochettino will be scared of taking off a striker in case he gets criticised.

Rose's defending for that goal was diabolical, but to be fair, it's endemic of lots of sloppy, lazy shit throughout this game though.

 

[No Donkey]

Jaw-dropping in their ineptitude. Not much to add really. Very disheartening.
