We're out, good, nothing else needs to be said.

[Zatman]

typical Villa, losing on TV to a lesser team in the early rounds of the cup

[dounavilla]

I'm starting to see why Tish has not has a look in. 

On the upside Johnson looks good.

Johnstone played really well.

[Reivax_Villa]

Satisfied 

I knew we would lose but by how many was a different question.

Johnstone looks very good. This loss is not going to affect our confidence. 

[Demitri_C]

A villa performance worked hard created very little. Not bothered in slightest. Spurs didn't humiltate us so for me all good

[NottingVilla]

Confirmed, we are still crap.

[Brumstopdogs]

Jonstown looks a good keeper

[Mantis]

We were pretty solid for most of the game. It may have been a weakened team but this was never going to be an easy fixture.

What I'm more pissed off about is the commentating. It felt as if they were annoyed that we hadn't come there and just laid down from the first minute for an 8-0 thrashing.

[maqroll]

Huge scalp for Spurs.

[Sam3773]

We looked great. Johnstone was brilliant. And we're out so we can focus on getting out of this crap league. 

Onwards! 

[It's Your Round]

I thought we played well enough, first half especially. We are still desperately short of quality in midfield, that's plain to see. Tish isn't up to scratch, no creativity and takes far too many touches. We need players that can pass quickly and find space. 

Hutton and Adomah seemed to lack any understanding today. 

Chester and Baker were solid first half. Sam Johnstone had a good game, some good saves and seemed quite assured. He's got a powerful kick on him too. 

 

[Daweii]

Johnstone, Chester, Tish and Baker were good.. We played alright considering the opposition. 

We're still trying to build confidence and it doesn't matter if you're expecting to lose it still hurts to lose by 6+ goals, so I'm glad that we set up to not get annihilated.

We'll be at Spurs level sooner rather than later under Xia I hope, but today is not that day so it was always damage limitation today.

Almost nothing to moan about, set up well defended well, Chester brilliant again, baker until he was injured great then we went sloppy, Johnstone good, Hutton was Hutton, Amavi was rubbish, adomah tracked back well but didn't offer enough going forward, grealish was fine with some good set pieces, gabby was garbage

Don't buy the BBC bullshit, with kodjia upfront we'd have been better and at 0-0 we had the best chance of the game, if not for 2 bits of great defending we'd have done what we set out to do, it's that simple for me

bbc with a horror show

[Lichfield Dean]

Was ok. Not brilliant, but we weren't embarrassed and made a few chances and to me it suggests we may not be so far off the pace in the PL if we were to get promoted. Certainly I thought we looked better than against spurs in recent years.

[limvillian]

It is so depressing being a villa fan sometimes. So tame and heartless. Baker has had a shocker for me. What stood out to me was that with 3 mins left when spurs went to break there was 2 50/50 challenges. And both Davis and green chickened out of them . These lads are in their first few first team games. They should be so eager to get stuck in backing out shouldn't enter their heads but sadly at villa it does. We lack so much heart and drive.
