It's actually 22 as this must be from last weekend. We've won 15 and also led before dropping points against Brentford in the opener, then the 5 games in a row against Chelsea, Wolves, Villa, City, West Ham and more recently against Everton.

Smart is the key word. I think we need some organised retaliation. Every tackle involving Cash just have everyone bundle in with chests and push the ref really hard for a red card. A bit like the famous '99 call' policy. So not revenge in terms of our own tackles, but just make the situation completely untenable for him.

There's only one outcome to that action yellow cards all round for Spurs players and a red at the first opportunity after any tackle.

We also were playing without any central defenders - think Davies and Emerson were the pair at the back.
This is one of those test games
- Technically we should be the better side
- They play away in Europe tomorrow
- We have had 8 days to prepare
Ange and the team need to step up, if we want CL, if we want to not have to look over our shoulders for rest of season, you go win this game.

Yeah definitely must win. Top 4 isn’t over if we lose but it becomes a very difficult task given the remaining fixtures we have.

Interestingly enough, I thought that first half was one of the best halves of football we have played this season. And that game as a whole was probably one where we performed well for a longer period of time than most other games. GLC had one his best games for us. Maybe consider him to start?

Agreed. Villa were unimpressive and stole the three points, IMO. Even without Bentancour we were the better team. Before that targeted foul by Cash, we dominated them.
We really owe them one, and I hope we smash them.

We were still the better side even when Bentancur went off. They scored kinda from nothing really. That's the game I really remember as being one I really don't know how we didn't win and win by 2 or so goals at least.

You would hope cash is a marked man and the ref will be keeping an eye on him, so I'm going for mcginn to follow in his country man charlie adams foot steps and be clogger in chief.

If the players can do that without getting caught up in that at the expense of focusing on our football that's fine. But our football is the important bit.
If they can use that frustration towards Villa/Cash to up their determination to play well and win that's obviously good. But it has to be about how we play, what we do in the game.

Very good description. Nothing is over until it's over, regardless of the result a lot of things can happen this season. But this is the kind of game where the players can prove to themselves (and less importantly to others) what they're capable of. To a somewhat greater extent than most games.

They are outstanding at it, but it’s a always a very high line
Werner, son and Johnson are faster than their defence. That’s space to exploit

This sounds like the sort of trophy we could win.

When I started going to football in 50's and through to 60's Villa were known for playing the offside game. Most teams pushed up when in possession but it was a definite tactic with them.
