Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[bimspurs]

Starting to doubt Porch after today. Staring Ade to show the fans who's boss to the detriment of the team is ridiculous.

I think it may be a bit of both imo.

How so? (Curious, not criticizing)

Poch has used the exact same formation as he's used in the league with Saints, so we have to look for the differences. To me, they appear to lie with the players, in their mentalities and in their individual skillsets in the context of the squad.

"Kane is able. Tottenham turn things around. Spurs once again showing the resilience, tenacity and never say die attitude they are so renowned for."

Has Lineker been on the disco?

Edit: I don't mean Benny.

Harry Kane told Sky Sports: "It was one of my best moments in a Spurs shirt so far. To be 1-0 down in an important game we needed to win, to pull it back is a moment I won't forget. It's all smiles in the dressing room now.

"We needed a bit more urgency and needed to make something happen. We needed to make some tackles. One of their players reacted and got sent off and we were able to take advantage."

I haven't enjoyed a victory so little in a very long time. We actually created so little after Benteke harshly got sent off that it was embarrassing. I'll take the 3 points because we are going to need them but make no mistake, we are a poor team

Did I just see Baldini..?!?!

Maybe! What was he doing?

" ... when I played for them. "

Added the part Gary forgot to mention.

Starting to seriously doubt Capoue's place in the team. He's got ability and physicality, but don't see him taking any responsibity in games.

Think Stambouli needs a run of games - love the story he told about giving a speech in the dressing room after the Brighton game - the guy has confidence and passion, we need to see if he has the ability too.

He celebrated on the bench like he was on the pitch tonight too.

Just seen pictures of Baldini with Poch - probably the first time a DoF and 'Manager' have got on that well at Spurs!

Do you have a link mate? I do remember seeing a photo of baldini and avb

This was the first time Poch has ever won a game from a losing position in the PL, right?

 

[Sweetsman]

Well, we've scored from a corner and some of our players showed cohones. I hope Stambouli gets picked and also that Fazio replaces Kaboul. That would mean MP showing his cojones, but actually let's give him time to figure it out and do the job we know he can.

 

[VegasII]

Maybe! What was he doing?

Running around like an aeroplane singing Crowded House songs.

 

[Lufti]

Can't believe the panel is saying Mason should have been off. Benteke leant in to him as much as anything

can you share the link? would love to hear what he has to say...

fazio and stambouli are leaders imo, and i think poch is bedding them in slowly

 

[onthetwo]

Today's word is 'urgency.'
Until we sign a few more players who have it to the same degree as Kane we will continue to struggle.
I don't care how talented they are either, we have loads of talented players but IMO only 3-4 who play the game with any urgency.

That is all

  Mauricio Pochettino told Sky Sports: "You always need all the players. When you play a game you analyse the possibility of putting players on the pitch to make an impact. Today Andros (Townsend), Erik (Lamela) and Harry (Kane) made a big impact."
  

 

[Romulus]

Worried about the lack of width. Worried about Kaboul and Rose. Worried about Ade who looks well off it, and worried about the lack of defensive work by Eriksen and Chadli.

worried about poch not seeing such open flaws

 

[mark87]

Will be plenty of Gooners p'd off that we ground out the win

And by the sounds of things a few spurs fans on here are too by the way they're talking.
