Ref is having a mare

Surprise Surprise. Spurs pick up the 1st yellow

relative to other games this season

not sure there is player in the world with more guile than Kane, you can only do so much against a back 6

what we actually miss is someone who can regularly bang it in from 30 yards, like Bale and Eriksen used to do

Relative to other games then fine, I agree

I think we miss someone who can someone for pace or just move the ball fast in the final 3rd

 

[fernadez]

Watching us try press with Kane not moving does my head in. It's completely pointless

 

[Kandi1977]

Assault in the back of Gil, nothing given. Perfect tackle by Romero, yellow card! fudging muppet ref!

 

[paxtonwolf]

Thats a throw-in???

 

[billyiddo]

Shouldn't it be "long-lay" ?

That's how the commentator is pronouncing it, isn't it?

 

[Baleforce]

we have Royal on the bench, he's pretty rapid, as is Son of course

also, we've actually managed to defend today, which is a big improvement on the last game

I'd like to see Skipp here - he drives forward centrally and moves the opposition shape.
We don't have that right now, so Villa can sit and neutralise the spaces we want to play in.

 

[Mikey10]

We’re going to end up with 10 men today.

Number of posts on here about the pronunciation of someone's name is indicative of the excitement of the match

It is.
I'm tired.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Oh look another Spurs yellow.

I dont think I know another team that rarely gets a 'homer' ref like us

 

[seaside spur]

The silence is deafening. Compared to the former library that is now buzzing ,it's depressing.

 

[Kandi1977]

fudge off you utter clam of a ref! Gives absolutely everything for villa ND nothing the other way. fudging cheat!

 

[djp82]

Need a midfielder who can pass forward. Utter tripe again

Was a blatant yellow though

 

[monkeybarry]

Villa should be looking at Bailey all the time now. We are obviously scared of him.

Skipp.

We're trying diagonal balls when there is no space to do so.
It's lazy.
