VillaChris Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 29 minutes ago, DJBOB said: Spurs are great to watch, exciting in possession. But this is a tale as old as time and will continue riding their luck off the ball. You can’t expect Udogie and Porro to be covering byline to byline and then not be dead tired in the second half. Thought Vicario was really poor for the late goal. If you watch when Romero flicks it on he's actually behind the goalline so terrible postioning considering it was an inswinging free kick. Again people were proclaiming him as the keeper of the season but he's gifting goals away being weak on set pieces so that was a little premature.

VillaJ100 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 7 minutes ago, MSvillain said: The flip side is that spurs concede a lot of xGA, as per todays game, which isn’t sustainable. There’s two goals on the pitch All high line teams do, including us but it can be misleading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Newcastle got Wilson and Barnes back on the bench today so they'll probably go on a decent run. Cue people petrified in the top 4 thread when they get within 8/9 points of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ange hasn’t developed a second gear for Spurs to fall back on when they have a lead. There’s no reason for the match to be so open when they’re leading but even 1 or 2 up, they’re still flooding forward. And high line Villa have a way better xGA than Spurs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSvillain Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Nobody is arguing that Everton have better strikers than spurs, the stats today would suggest that Dyche out managed Ange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
