One of the toughest MOTM votes I've ever submitted. Clark made the least mistakes, and got a foot in somewhere or other, so he got it. Another poor performance this time unmasked by the result.

I've seen them given. Nearly every time, that is.

That explains Lambo's team sheet.

One would think, after **** it up the entirety of the last Villa match he called, that someone would've drawn his attention to it.

Their Iranian is a classy player, by the looks. He's like Gabby, only with cunning and proper skill.

Decent re-start, but it only went about forty yards ... we're down 2-0; got to hoof it further than that!

You're right - had they squared one to Berba it'd be three. Didn't they hit the post as well? I missed it, if so. You don't mean Guzan's brilliant save from the corner?

Fulham look up for it, to be fair, and with the possession we typically allow opponents, and the technical chops of some of their players ... I've got no issue with the penalty, either. Bacuna was suitably chastened by his previous experience of laying off Sidwell. The second time he got too close, clumsily so. I'm yet to be impressed by his general play in a Villa shirt.

Ah well, give the youngsters time. No shame losing to this collection of talent. Spurs are nowhere near as good as they're going to get this season, which makes this a bit of a wasted opportunity for us. Delph clearly our best.

Fair enough. KEA doesn't give us much creatively, even though Westwood's been the inferior player thus far.

Westwood just shrugged off there. Dear oh dear. Tough one to deal with from Ron, but it was as if he wasn't there.

Good move, AVB. He's seen enough of our fullbacks to know where to attack, especially with pace on the counter as we push.

Ooohhh!!! Here we go! Should've done better, though.

I love El Ahmadi's effort. The guy tries his guts out, even if the results vary.
