Don’t buy, no risk loan singing but not a premier league player 

Very disjointed and the back line was out of sync. Stick with cash at RB and konsa next to Pau, every low cross from them looked like it was going to be a goal

Not many players coming out of this with much credit..poor showing by most players 

Ref is a bottle job 

I’d also look at putting Ramsey on for mcGinn

Get Carlos off and put konsa back next to Pau. Cash at right back 

Can’t wait until 1/2 time sort it out 

Got to sort the right hand side out it’s too open 

So you can grab a shirt and pull a player back no yellow. Ref bottled it 

Konsa never a RB we don’t look good on that right hand side 

Zaniolo getting a lot of the ball but decision making lacking 

Poor from Carlos but goals in this game for us 

Watkins going to be a big kiss as

the work he does tracking back and his defensive duties off opposing corners should not be underestimated. Kamara will also be a big loss as was hitting good form. 
 

not as confident now with key players missing

Pretty much anything will be an improvement on last seasons shitshow.

God I remember that, it was like 11 players picked off the street without any semblance of a team, it was a horror show 

Sod them, they were given it the big one with mid the gap nonsense 

Can't wait for a couple of his bullet goals...

I didn't think McGinn was at his best yesterday, but his battling helped us in parts.

He was playing with a knock and in a bit of pain , fair play to him 

He's very humble and grounded, I like that in him 

Just a ball of crazy energy. Love it

How long have you been watching? Three months ? Believe  me there  has been a lot more shit than that in recent years but I guess it’s always good to post a negative What fun you can have next week if we don’t put 10 on little Bournemouth .

No need for the childish comments, I've bene watching Villa since the early 90's, and I was talking about under Unai's tutelage, apologies for not stating that but thought it was rather obvious. Regardless, I still think that first half was very poor, and if it were not for a few brilliant saves and the post Spurs would have ben out of sight. Also that was a makeshift spurs team. We were caught like rabbit in the headlights for the first 30 minutes and not for the first time we struggle with aggressive press, something that needs addressing.  

If we want to be Top 4 come end of the season then we must learn to keep possession better than we did when teams come at us aggressively with a strong press, the ball has to stick better than it did. I'm not being negative, just a realist

Funny that our 5 missing players for almost the entirety of this season seemed to pass the commentators by today...

They got a lot more first teamers out and we had 2 of ours back today. I have zero sympathy with them though 

Just brilliant today 

Please don’t play him in any other position than RB

Not the game for him today, poor showing

Thought we were as bad as I’ve ever seen us first half. Got lucky today against spurs B team. They will be a force once they get their players back. 

Hopefully we strengthen in January, need a new RB and a bit of pace.
