Ratings & Reactions: Spurs v Villa

[Dale]

Very good performance. Profligate in terms of taking opportunities. Could have scored 5 or 6

[pacbuddies]

Well played lads.

[OutByEaster?]

Brilliant.

Lively, energetic, creative and hardworking. 2-1 flatters Spurs, we could have had four or five tonight - finishing was the only thing missing.

Everyone did well, I thought Ollie lead from the front really, really well, the midfield was full of life and it was fantastic to see the kids get on for a few minutes, they'll be buzzing.

Just excellent.

And should've had a pen

[The_Steve]

We could have smashed them. Great turnaround after giving away such a sloppy goal. Saw the game out with ease and gave youth a shot at the end which is delightful. 
 

Dean Smith got it right today. Good stuff. 
 

The less said about that non-penalty the better. What a joke. 
 

Ollie deserves to be at Euros. Solid across the midfield for most of that.

[jim]

Wonderful

[sidcow]

Very flaky performance from VT in the first half tonight. 

[est1874]

Have Martinez MotM for a few clutch saves but could've easily given it to McGinn who looked like his former self again.

Great to see Carney. Couldn't believe it when JPB also came on.

Fvck Spurs. Finally beat them. Booed off both halves - sums them up as a club.

[KentVillan]

Really good all round team performance. Hard to pick a MOTM.

Nakamba started very poorly but grew into the game.

Luiz looked very creative in the attacking mid role. Should have had an assist or two with better finishing.

McGinn back to his best.

I like the solidity on set pieces when we play Konsa, Hause and Mings. Could be a good option in future for certain fixtures.

Watkins is a machine. The way he sprints like that for 90 mins is amazing, caused so many problems pressing their defence.

I thought Traore was superb tonight as well, ran rings around them at times.

And amazing to see the kids come on and just immediately start knocking the ball about like they’ve been doing this for years.

The future’s bright.

[Robtaylor200]

Brilliant, great skill at times, Dean was even able to take the piss and blood the youngsters. What a great night for them 

50 point plus and Dingles mind the gap 

[Brumstopdogs]

What a player - great first season for us!

 

[ThunderPower_14]

I thought the midfield group looked the best they had all season. Nakamba is so industrious and McGinn was fantastic. 

Such a professional performance.

Great game 

Could and should have had more, Bertie at his crazy inconsistent joy to watch infuriating best 

Mings was a beast, his off the ball pressing and tracking letting him go work around kane was superb, played him brilliantly 

Mings was colossal, boy do we miss him when he’s out.

[Nigel]

Controlled the game and deserved to win by more.

Add in debuts for the 2 kids and a come from behind victory and that was one good day at the office!

[fightoffyour]

Brilliant performance and a victory for football over greed and corruption.

[VillaFaninLondon]

Great win, great performance. Only gripe is it should have been so much more, we missed so many chances.

 

So glad we've beat them as it hasn't happened very often recently. 

 

And thought Chukwumeka looked a real talent - he will be very special indeed. So unlucky not to score with that shot off the post. Philogene-Bidace did well too. 

[Jono62]

Where's Reguilón for man of the match?

[KenjiOgiwara]

McGinn was good today. But that's him in a nutshell. One in 10. 

Hause did well. 

Martinez is utterly amazeballs. 

Cool to see the youngsters come into it. They looked the part the little time they had. 

Targett is ace. 

Nakamba had a good match. 

Watkins is bloody excellent. 

Grealish is another level of everyone else. 

Was another show of abysmal refereeing though

Traore was wasteful. 

 

[ejvilla]

Great to hold on. Youngsters blooded & looked good. McGinn & Marvellous had great games. Konsa solid at RB - great decision to nullify Son. Kane anonymous. Bale no impact. 

Amazing the difference when Jack went off. Spurs reorganised as Winks had been man marking him. Gave them an extra midfielder. We had tons of space for other players when he was on.

Top marks for Dean. Pity about missed chances, but fully expected to lose a couple of late goals. Dean's changes prevented that.

Top 6 next year with a few extra pros & some luck with injuries.
