Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

[dontcallme]

Nice through ball by Maddison, just a little ahead of Son. This is gong to be a tense match.

I don’t like John ‘eyes like pissholes in the snow ‘ McGinn

The Simon Evans of the Premiership

 

[CookieYiddo]

Really sloppy in the last 10 mins. Basic passes.

 

[Tucker]

Johnson pressing like a machine today.

Low block long ball for Watkins’s to chase villa playing allerdyce football

 

[Hazelton]

Romero needs to get to these balls before Watkins.

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

We need to start playing the ball in behind earlier. On so many times

 

[simsy886]

Sick of these blatant offsides being flagged so late. Puts so much more pressure on the players, which can lead to needless fouls and injuries.

 

[robotsonic]

Too easy at the moment for them to make unwarranted progress by just punting it long or wide

Ever since the Liverpool game the refs have been on our case an I am getting sick of it.

This is why Klopp and Arteta come out like they do.

They know the 50/50 calls will swing in their favor and against their opponents.

Ange is too honest and has integrity

 

[Wadec]

Bright few opening minutes but we still seem to lack any fluidity with the ball. Getting really frustrating watching us the last couple of months.

 

[johnwhitesghost]

They’re targeting Romero, which is compromising Porro’s runs forward.

Cash has a face only a mother could love

Mrs Cash's book suggests otherwise.

Nice through ball by Maddison, just a little ahead of Son. This is gong to be a tense match.

Maddison seems to be the only one trying to find Son's excellent runs.

Haha that blokes lockdown adventures were pure hans Christian Andersen

 

[dannyo]

Johnson’s been excellent so far. Need Son and Kulu to get up to his level

 

[Cochise]

Villa have set up today to be our counter. They've clogged the channels our fullbacks run in to, shut down the central spaces and are double marking our wingers. Add to that two electric forwards and you've got the anti Ange blueprint. They want to counter us, they want us to press and leave space in behind, so if we fail in the press we have to make the clever fouls today.

I whinge in the whinge thread and post about the match in the match thread. Sorry that's a hard concept for you.

 

[Spursberg]

When we win the ball, Villa already looks like they are in a comfertable structure withing 3 seconds. When when Vlla wins the ball, it looks like we are scrambling to to get back.

 

[rossdapep]

Regarding us.

We still have a long way to go.

A top team would have taken advantage of the possession but we still haven't really got to that level in the final third.
