Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa

We ain't losing cos of him but the ref has been appalling.

Villa playing a very good away game at a rival tbh.

Their keeper has only had one (very comfortable) save to make.

Think they just about deserve the lead tbh

 

Villa well set up though, and from my vantage point up on high it all looks so pedestrian. Big half coming up now..

 

Where’s Werner when you need him?

 

Yeah as expected. Emery is a superb manager. Very tactically flexible.

 

I think we have just been a bit predictable Dragusin to Son or on the other side Romero with a straight through ball. We need some creativity and we know where that comes from.

 

No changes coys

 

No subs?

 

Why has the ref stopped it there?

 

Brenaldo!!!

He’s gash but has end product

 

Johnson to the rescue AGAIN

 

Lovely cross and an instinctive finish from Johnson.

He really does just pop up after being so anonymous.

I’ll repeat - stick him up front.

 

Good start to the half.

 

Solanke finally manages a shot on target after 6 and a half games!

Progress

 

The comments on the first half from the pundits seem to be driven by the scoreline not the play. I say we are the better team

 

When did Spanish managers start being so Portuguese with their tactics, anyway?

 

That is what the manager needs to tell him :

You are doing all this to date.
Imagine what you will be doing when you
remove the basic errors from your game.

 

Son off but Solanke stays on.

And Bentancur who’s been our best midfielder today goes off too.

Makes sense…

 

Weird subs

 

Big decisions on the subs. Son not fully 90 mins fit ??
