AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Like playing with 10 men. 1 upfront in Ash. Dunne's fault for the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted October 2, 2010 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2010 Can't be **** watching the inevitable destruction anymore. Meh. Easy Tiger, theres nothing inevitable about a team playing under a new manager for only the second time.Still going to happen. I think MON used to scream at them if we went 1-0 up then tried to expand on it. We turn into counter attacking shite as soon as we go ahead, every single time. Happened against Wolves too.

Niall Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 No reason we can't get another goal. We have made them nervous anytime we attack. All this "think we'll lose it" is bollocks. They are there for the taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Shit defending by Dunne, Carlos would have won that Would he? It was a very good goal from Spurs to be honest. Decent ball in, nobody would have won the far post header against Crouch and at the near post you have got a defender who is holding position competing against a forward who is running in at full speed. The forward is always going to be favourite to win the header. Horrible time to concede, but I don't think there will be any major inquisition into the goal. Sometimes you just have to give credit to the attacking side. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete165 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Not watching but Dunne's fault was it? Going to be pessimistic and say we will lose it from here. Bit of a strange one - Crouch won a header at the far post and as it came back across, both Luke and Dunne were stationary as Van Der Vaart put the header in. Quite simply, he jumped an Dunne didn't - instead he appeared to sort of 'head' thin air, which was strange - a misjudgment but not getting off the ground for it or reacting was unlike him. No need to be pessimistic - 1 each at half-time still all to play for. Quite why everyone seems to see us concede and then turn their streams off because 'we'll definitely lose' is beyond me. Yes, we were winning and it's now level - but the home side are a champions' league team and have pushed for an equaliser. That's not a big drama. Keep supporting the Villa people; one equaliser does not mean ultimate destruction! We might well lose now as they are at home and a good team - but if you give up at 1-1 what's the point in supporting anyone?!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySpurfect Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I'd say 1-1 was a fair reflection of the first half, to be fair. Can see another two or three goals in the second half though. All to play for both teams, and definitely a more enjoyable game than the last game between both sides at White Hart Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Would have been interesting if Houllier had done something original and put Ireland on for Heskey. Let Ireland and Young have free roles and act as attacking midfielder/forwards. It could have worked.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 we do seem to sit back when we have a 1-0 lead... not only in this game but in nearly every game in which we have a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete165 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 let's hope houllier has a miracle up his sleeve at half time team talks. erm.....why? are we 4-0 down? The game I'm watching is nicely poised at 1-1 and as Spurs push on we can hit them on the break. Or maybe it's just me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because our last 20 minutes was shocking that's why, we sat back and allowed it to happen... happens all the time at Villa when we take the lead and its getting frustrating.

coda Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Awful time to conceed. Watching it on a Setanta stream and it might as well be SpursTV with the biased commentators. So unfortunate with Heskey looking good at last and getting injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dappadan Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 All fell apart when Heskey went off in my opinion and nothing is sticking up front now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
