Was going to say, it's a running joke even with Pep that spurs have a relatively good record against them at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs defence is like a sieve , and City have won the last 6 games, who will most likely need to continue winning or Arsenal will win the league. Not sure what the flap is. They won't beat City not a chance. Did you see them play Saturday, they are now in top gear, even giving players (Haaland) a rest. I doubt Tottenham will even walk through Burnley, then City 2 days later, this is seriously what you call bed wetting. It's done lads get yourself a beer.

nepal_villan Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 If City and Arsenal win next weekend two things happen that could help us: 1. Liverpool will not be able to finish any higher than 3rd place and may choose to play a "weakened" side against us in preparation for Klopp's finale at Anfield 2. The City match against Spurs will be a pivotal one in the title race and Spurs supporters might actually root for City to win so Arsenal don't get the title 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool and Arsenal stuck 3 or 4 past Spurs, City will do similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Not the worst day for us, with the Spurs loss and the increased GD. But it was another blown opportunity to drop the axe on an immediate rival. We need to learn how to strike when the iron is hot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Ollie was alluding to in his recent interview though? Not so much today but 2-0 up v Brentford and Chelsea and we let both back into the games far too easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viivvaa66 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Hank Scorpio said: Spurs really should be better than they are right now. It's not like they have genuine reasons to be struggling like us Our most used players have played 10-20 games more than the most used Spurs players, in that sense you are right. However, Spurs play a high intensity tactic with a high press, while we have a more low/medium intensity tactic. The result seems to be that both set of players are burned out at this stage in the season. Next season with Spurs in Europe, their players will be burned out at an earlier stage in the season, expect them to be mid table. We need to recruit well in the summer, because it is not sustainable that our best players play 50+ matches in a season. Both because burn out at the end of the season and also to avoid injuries because of fatigue and tiredness. Edited May 5 by viivvaa66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think every Villa fan should be saluting what our squad have done and stop moaning like bitches. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
