Okay lads time to rationalise why this loss was actually a good thing because of philosophy or something like that
Not seeing the Spurs players bring out their kids for a victory lap after a dodgy result anymore, really makes you fall out of love with football 💔
Mate mate mate mate you wouldn’t believe it mate but Unai Emery’s brilliant Aston Villa side went up to the media darling’s backyard and utterly smoked them mate. They conceded first mate but then Big Pau Torres headed a towering header home past Big Ainge’s keeper mate then Ollie Watkins grabbed the game-winner mate, oh my God mate unreal scenes to witness mate and such a dagger to the hearts of Sky Sports and every other UK-based media who hyped up these lot while the whole world knows these guys have losing in their club’s DNA and their downfall was only a matter of time mate
Autism is showing
Fuck Matt Cash.
In Defence of Ange though, I will say his football actually makes watching spurs intriguing when you compare it to the last 4-5 abysmal years.
They’ll look really good when they have all their players back, Son looks a mess without Kane / Maddison.
Played well but needed a little luck. I enjoyed the game at least.
Villa are on those Cracked PED Asthma type shit liverpool we’re on.
People act like all chances have been offside which is ridiculous, if Spurs finished half the good onsite chances it’s a win. They saw the game out cleverly, it’s not always the better team that wins, but that doesn’t mean it was smash and grab.
I know it’s hypothetical, but I reckon Spurs win that if Bentancur didn’t need to go off.
Luiz was class and Villa just cut through the mid on the counter as soon as he went off.
Yeah we really regress whenever Hojbjerg has to play as our 6, he’s not a bad player but he’s like the antithesis of an Angeball player lol.
3Ls on the bounce with city next I would not want to be Ange right now, mate.
Son with a hat trick of offside goals
Ange learning that you can’t stick to one plan the entire season
This ain’t the SPL
We looked good though? Just a difference in finishing and actually having a single CB on the pitch
If you actually watched the match you would know this loss was not down to Ange’s tactics. His plan had Spurs dominating for the majority of the match. The Spurs attackers did not finish their chances. This loss was down to execution by the players. Villa’s goals were from a set piece header and a normal possession-based attack, not by getting in behind a high defensive line.
Our injury/suspended list would finish 3rd in the PL.
Of just the starting XI we’re missing Romero, Vandeven, Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison, and Richarlison.
But it’s also hurting our depth. Sessegnon, Peresic, Solomon all out as well.
Despite all that, we were incredibly unlucky. Hit the post, missed at least two, maybe three, fantastic chances.
Hahahahahhahaha. No.
Richarlison lol
Why are Spurs fans acting like they’re the only ones with injured and suspended players? Last season Chelsea had like 11-12 players who could make the first team squad out for months due to injury and United this season. They were laughing when it happened to others. But it doesn’t feel nice when it happens to you, does it?
And I’m sure during that time a lot of Chelsea fans were annoyed with the situation. I think any neutral would acknowledge spurs’ injury and suspension situation as a major hurdle to winning games so seems a very normal thing to complain about and I don’t see where anyone is saying other teams don’t have injury issues
Yep. No sympathy for them, esp not this season with all the injuries happening across the league.
Is anyone suprised ? Same story .They play great till December .Injury pills up .Team become Spurs again .Guess this team is really into edging its fans .
