Whelp... Did not see that coming after we absolutely pummeled them first half...
.then again, you don't take your chances, you come away with fuck all...

Villa did what WE shoulda done against Wolves...
Where were OUR 2 late injury time goals to win it?

Holding it up in the corner, with their players... wasting time!

Game management...
Smash and grab

..
ALL the clichés!

Aye they were. Probably more pleased that they got proved right than they would have been if we’d won.

Do you actually think ANY Spurs fan want's us to lose??

And is it only reserved for the "positive" posters to be proven right??

We have all different ways to deal with frustration, happiness, anger, love, hate, that's what makes us human, and that's what makes a good forum
 
Our first choice starting 11 have less injuries than a lot of teams. Today we had 3 first choice players out injured. VDV, Maddison & Sarr. The previous 2 games, we had VDV & Maddison injured. Sure, we've got quite a few squad players injured but realistically, if all our injured squad players were fit, who of them would be able to stand in for VDV & do a good job. None of them. We’ve had to deal with suspensions as well but that’s self inflicted. We should never be going into a season with only 2 quality CH’s, that’s just negligence by Levy & the board.

That display was anything but toothless.

2 clear cut chances off the post. 2 marginal offsides goals. Johnson missing a 1 on 1.
8 shots on target.

This.

You take your chances, you win games. You dont (and the oppo take theirs) then you lose. Simple really.

Positives were the fact that our entirely second choice midfield worked very very well until the Bents injury. Lo Celso was making thiings happen, good performance. Deki was busy. Eddy Royal did surprisngly OK at CB. Porro's passing, great. Udogie is back and is a rolls-royce defender.

Negatives were the front three ALL having an off day with finishing / decision making / offsides. Just one of those chances going in puts a whole different complexion on this game

As far as I can see, the backups (largely) weren't the problem. It's Son, Johnson and Kulu. How many chances does a player need to score? How many dodgy 1v1s, how many times giving the ball away cos you're too weak?

It's ridiculous.

But if we had a strong enough squad, we would be able to replace them with players that do score.

So is ange still the messiah ? I think he's the right man for us right now..
But no he's not top class..
Hes perfect for levy, plays football the right way but has no plan B.
Anybody still think our squad is OK..?
No defenders and no strikers, it was obvious what was coming, ange just papered over a load of cracks at the start....
This is not going to be an enjoyable season, I don't see us getting many points in the near future either. .

Imagine being the kind of insipid cunt that actually 'likes' posts like this. 🤮

Yes I keep saying that get the ball up the pitch and get that lazy fucker Johnson chasing it. To me looks a big waste of money. No real skill or movement or even tracking back and pressing g from the front. If someone else saw something different in his performance let me know. From where I was sitting in the first he made no real effort to get involved. At least kulu son and Gil were chasing the ball and trying to press.

I think Johnson is very lazy without the ball. Doesn’t press aggressively enough or works back quick enough. Being at the games you see it so clearly. He has something though and looks a threat at times. Strange player who needs to believe in himself more or grow a heart.

A lot of people in here were spewing because, the pundits predicted a villa win.
But they all got it right, and many of us had concerns.
It doesn't make any of us lesser fans, when you can see the limitations of the squad/club, or predict anything other than a Tottenham win.
