VillaChris Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 8 minutes ago, a m ole said: I agree, just it’s an understandable train of thought! On paper it is possible we get next to nothing regardless of how well we play with a little misfortune. I would be asking questions of the manager if that happened tbh as would the owners. No good playing flat out up to xmas if you're just going to throw it all away last three months of the season barely winning a game. We really need to learn to pace ourselves better over a 40 game season. Been a massive problem over last 20 years when we've had decent teams. Weren't in europe and barely had any cup games aswell which should've helped us aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we were the better team for the start of that game we just had no creativity at all. As they scored against the run of play it was over, we lost confidence and Spurs gained in confidence and the game was dead. With Jack out, Barkley so out of form he doesn’t start and Traore out of form we are a bit screwed because the other players aren’t creators. So we were attacking Spurs with a blunt instrument. We desperately need Jack back and hopefully he starts today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because they had a few bad results previously, it automatically meant we should beat them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always the problem, we couldn’t take advantage early on even though we were on top because we didn’t have the creativity at the moment but we tried but then they scored against the run of the grain and as you say their better players then took over.

A team with better players will not automatically win a game of football. It was an opportinity for us whilst they seemed to be having dressing room problems to get a result. We didnt turn up at all, zero creativity. So fans critised the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially teams that have the kind of strength in depth that spurs have over us. It was an opportunity, that's very different to they're there for the taking. And the performance deserved criticism but it also needs to be acknowledged when we're having to rely on the likes of El Ghazi and Trez as creative options and only have Davis on the bench. The performance was poor but without Jack and with Barkley out of form, our creative options are barely premier league level at times. At this stage, we've really got no right to be complaining about not beating Spurs, even with their injuries.
