Only 1 down, we should have a chance of winning this.

HT: Aston Villa 1-0 Tottenham

Spurs have not won a Premier League match outside of London since a 3-2 victory at Bournemouth on 29 October.

Agreed. But Son urgently needs to focus on getting his timing right first.He's been playing into Villa's high-line tactics all game.

He was told by Conte to miss one on ones, even when offside - Consistency throughout the season.

The offside flag down until it plays out thing is funny though, he was a yard off for the last one in injury time and the official still didn't flag until it played out....

Awful 1st half that
Only Kane looking like he has any idea how to play the game
Once again this shows up how limited our midfield is, what does it do, no creativty, doesn't really defend, el tosso

Drink 9 beers so far
Met a few ex players
Half time good quite nice
I like villa corporate brick

Big moments for Mason.
If he can change formation and outwit Emery, that is impressive.
So far Emery has schooled Mason.

1st half was awful. Low block, terrible press, unable to string any chance together.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Come on Ryan/Lads, lets see what you're made of...hopefully not Jelly or Mush

 

[tommysvr]

Not being bothered = not caring if we win or lose.

Well done, you understand now. Your initial reply was suggesting that I hope we lose. It’s it too optimistic of me to expect you to understand that difference?

 

[We are Tottenham]

is that count Dracula on the touchline?

 

[DubSpur]

Great tackle from Romero, but too easy to play through there

 

[Spoonman]

Awful 1st half that

That summary could apply to most of our games this season.

Formation clearly isn't working. Porro is offering absolutely nothing.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Porro needed a better pass!

 

[Bullet]

Why is Porro so allergic to going forwards?
We spend 27 passes to get it to him and he just passes it back to Royal.
He shouldn't be in the team if he isn't willing to run down the line.

 

[DubSpur]

Again giving the ball away in our own half, all our passing is either backwards or to a Villa player

 

[Benny_Lad]

Probably more likely that the players can't implement rather than disobeying his instruction.

They can’t press their defenders? It’s literally running - with an element of strategy.

Agree on the in possession stuff tho. Limited ability - the 2 CMs our biggest problem.

 

[alekaras]

They get into our half so easily and we struggle to get out of our defensive third. Unreal.

 

[alekaras]

Gotta put that one away, Harry.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Just shows if we press them effectively they'll give the ball up.
