Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur - Sunday 10th March

[PapeMasterclass]

just me…….oh well as you were

Declan Rice playing a mean banjo as well.

 

[Deuterz]

Iv stopped watching. It’s just so boring.

We’re effective but for a while it has been no more entertaining than it was under Conte. If it works it works.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Not terrible not great. Just need the last pass to be more clinical

 

[Go on son]

Werner and Johnson out wide with a dink over the top is the play here surely

We dick around too much in front of a very slow villa backline

 

[Shadydan]

Bentancur can come on in the 2nd half and change this match

 

[Incomplete_usernam]

Every team in the league plays like this against us now it seems, we need to learn how to use width better but I think it honestly comes down to a lack of quality in wide areas.

 

[Jaynola]

Bissouma/Cuti giving the ball away has to stop. Kulu and Johnson have been woeful. Son non existent and Maddison looks lost.

When we have the ball with the CBs we need to play a few longer balls to offer that threat.

Johnson is the only one who's tried...

 

[nicoclaesen]

Standard match thread to be honest... Romero and Maddison not good enough, sell everyone, burn it down. Just the usual cobblers.

Idiots. I stay well away from it during the game.

 

[Zomb]

They're at home and have had 30% possession and zero shots on target...

Possession means zero. They’ve had better chances than us

 

[Richard Arlison]

Iv stopped watching. It’s just so boring.

Then why are you in here?

 

[tedesco23]

Johnson might be the only attacking player who had a positive impact. Need more from the rest next half.

Effective pressing, and consistently taking his man on and beating him. Most effective outfield player so far after VDV.

 

[Raf]

I was actually excited when Porro was on the team sheet.

 

[rusty]

seem to want to play the ball though midfield when both Maddison & son making early runs for ball over the top

Wow.

 

[Kekerinho]

Bentancur can come on in the 2nd half and change this match

What bout Ndombele mate?

 

[Maureen]

The way we're playing is like we're trying to waste time. The amount of times we keep playing back the ball to our CBs is pathetic

I know we play like that all the time. Even at the end there 1min injury time we have the near their box. What do we do just keep passing back instead of at least try putting it into the box.

 

[N17-Tommo]

I’ve lost 45 minutes of my life seeing this awful game

Villa totally changed their tactics to what they've played for months and what we trained for all week.

I think we've handled their changes pretty well. Hopefully
Ange will see this and adjust accordingly.
Villa are no mugs and we've restricted them. We know we can step it up so let's see what we can offer 2nd half

 

[Gym&Chill]

Then why are you in here?

Because I stopped watching, cant you read?

 

[bus-conductor]

Interesting game. Villa playing a 532 and tactically set up to try and nullify us. There have been chances to play players behind Villa’s back line, but Johnson, Udogie and even Maddison haven’t seen them or chosen not to play them.

Kulusevski off, Johnson on the right, maybe even swap Sarr for Bentancur who’s more likely to see/make a creative pass.

 

[JohnLondon]

I really wouldn't shed a tear if we sold him in the summer

It wouldn’t bother me either but I’d probably keep him as a squad player. I think his days as a first 11 starter are numbered
