Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Reece]

The guy can speak English to a lot lesser extent than I thought... I am worried. Is it possibly why he couldn't motivate Southampton to any comeback wins?

 

[gerishep]

If we keep plummeting downwards I'm sure we are going to regret selling dawson/sandro, guys with fight in them for the club. I wouldn't want any of this lot covering my back.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Oh, so he's had a good game then?

As good as anyone else on the pitch aside from Mason and Lloris.

 

[CowInAComa]

Rose, Verthonghen, Capoue and Chadli need to wake up.

Capoue is a waste of space, I never see him plugging any gaps or putting his foot in without fouling. Again he lets his man run off him for the goal.

Verthonghen isn't even in Birmingham from what I can see

Vertonghen isnt anywhere near as good as he thinks he is. His reputation far outweighs his performances since the first half a season we signed him

 

[RuskyM]

I honestly don't know if I can do this any more.

I have been seriously considering why I care so much. I don't even like any of these players and yet they're constantly ruining my weekends.

I don't mind a team losing. I mind a team not caring. And this team doesn't care at all.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

I actually think we are playing quite well. Really quick passing, driven by Mason (who looks great). Just missing a finish.

Are you high? We look diabolical! Kaboul and Ade need taking to the pound and Rose has reverted to last seasons dross.

 

[Mustard]

Adebayor really?

No agenda here then

This denial stage of yours is taking a long time to change jam jam.

 

[Wsussexspur]

How on Earth Kaboul gets picked every week & was Made captain is beyond me. Sadly he has been finished at this level since he came back from injury.

Capoue isn't good enough either one of the players who I think has real mentality problems when the going gets tuff or against bigger teams he completey goes missing.

 

[belsunz]

this is the second game I watch on TV with my newborn son after our defeat agianst Newcastle. Kid will be traumatized for life I fear. Some hope though: He starts crying everytime Kaboul touches the ball. Gotta have some football sense then.

 

[Nocando]

I'd like to see...

Kane for Rose
Davies for Naughton
Fazio for Kaboul
Stamboui for Capoue
Lamela for Eriksen
Townsend for Ade
Vertonghen for Mason
Vorm for Soldado

 

[Jody]

The problem with spurs? The only thing that hasnt changed in my life time is the fans! Sack him, sub him blah blah blah....

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Lamela for Eriksen! Why not Kane as well?

 

[Maske2g]

No shock. Adebayor the scapegoat for a missed chance....

The team have been a disgrace. I watched Man City break at times today where Zabaleta made 40 yard Burst's that sent them from defence to attack.

Wheb Capoue carried balls today , Eriksen Naughton and Chadli ambled along alongside. There is no desire.

Chadli made done long burst, played in a pony cross, and looked like he was going to die.

The forwards have been OKish bar the chance, that they created very well. They tried at least. The rest of the side a shambolic, lacklustre mess.

But, its the forwards fault again....bring on Kane....

 

[TH1239]

This is the problem when you have two midfielders who aren't meant to score goals in this system. You are ENTIRELY reliant on the wing forward and strikers to score every single goal. When they are off form, you will lose, plain and simple. People can laugh at Paulinho all they want, but his 6 league goals were vital to us last season.

 

[2bearis2do]

You forgot to mention the manager.

Have we got a manager?! You could have fooled me.

 

[Chris12]

Lamela for Eriksen

 

[bigfrooj]

I haven't seen a minute of this but I'm sure Kane will come on at 75 mins and have a chance to show what he can do. You can quote me later.

 

[yiddo23]

Tottenham Hotspur, not scoring, but creating chances since 1882

 

[CowInAComa]

Probably Fats, though he needs to establish himself a bit first

Fazio?

He has never won anything has he? We need someone around the squad who knows what it takes to win.

 

[Dirty Ewok]

erm....interesting sub

 

[sandrosmydad]

Feels like we are taking one giant leap backwards, with little sign of taking two steps forward.

 

[SlunkSoma]

Immature defending. But Eric Dier isnt playing!
