Started a lot better, spurs finished it in control though, it's been equal imo If Luiz scored I think we'd have stayed on top 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be crushing if we lose this We're going to lose this sadly. Spurs have been shit been have still have had enough chances to think they deserve the lead which we've basically given them at will, and we've spurned our own chances. We needed those other chances to go in to put the tin hat on the half. As is we're going in dejected and Spurs are going in thinking they've weathered the best we've got to give and could have had at least 2 more.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It was a penalty. Also no player was going to get to the rebound before Son. I just don’t get why we’re trying to play offside in the oppositions half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerner's Driver Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 We have played very well in spells, but a mix of bad luck and the usual sloppy, indecisive play brings the same outcome. We are such a skin of our teeth team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Never a pen that, they didn't even appeal for it. Even so, more shocking defending, Spurs could have scored 3 or 4. We've missed some good chances too. HATE VAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The penalty was soft but as usual goes against us. We would never have got given that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It's getting to the point where I'm not bothered if we go down. At least we won't have to put up with the **** that is VAR week in week out. The division is corrupt to the core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddytheVillan Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 3 minutes ago, TheMightyVillans said: that pretty much summed up our season. Played some good stuff. Should have been 2-0 up but wasted chances. Then we become too open at the back and VAR gets involved and we conceed just before half time. Yep and also why we have one point from the traditional "big six", most of whom aren't all that anymore. Compared to any other team in the league, we give them double the chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 We should have scored 3, tbh, we looked great, right until they scored, then the heads dropped and we threw it all away, which is about as classic Villa as you can get. A draw would be fair based on performance at this point, it's all uphill now though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stopped El Ghazis cross by an active hand out from the body. That's always been a penalty. Was in the 90s. Was in the 2000s. And it definately is now during the VAR era. I've lost count how many penalties I've seen in Europe the last 6 months for the exactly same type of handball. Including the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 We arguably look worse defensively with 5 at the back. Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every idiot that knows football could see that their handball was a penalty. Yet VAR that's able to see it over and over in every single angle, claims it's not. Just rigged. It may be shit but it's not rigged. You are just a little emotional at the minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 We’re absolute garbage, and can’t create a single upset to save our lives in this league. Changes should have been made long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted February 16, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2020 So very frustrating. Drinkwater is so slow and moronic. Wasn't tracking his man which lead to their corner for the equaliser. Could forgive it as an isolated mistake but it isn't. Then he has Luiz alongside him, who is talented but inexperienced, which shows at times, and inconsistent. Absolute sitter missed too. As others have said, defence simply not good enough, and this Spurs side don't even look that good. However, they're realising that actually we're quite easy to play through - Drinkwater and Luiz don't offer all that much protection if you transition quickly against us. Then we rely on having three at the back but there are too many gaps and we can be exploited by pace. Also so annoying that they reacted so slowly to the penalty save.

We have had more possession, more corners, more shots and more touches in the opposition box. How the hell can spuds possibly be classed as the better team!!!
