*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

[paxtonwolf]

Proof yet again there is no justice in football. No way do we deserve to be going in 1-1 at HT

 

[afsoc4life]

I think that Cash tackle on Bentancur could prove to be the pivotal moment of the game

Reminds me of Rodwell on Dembele some seasons past away from home. I think Moss was the referee then but I may remember wrongly. Spurs either drew or lost that game.

 

[Outrance]

Son needs to wake up, could be 4 or 5 but fudge sake I don't want to see another chance missed. Can't blame the defenders for not taking chances

Any time Son is offside he has flawless finishing

 

[Spoonman]

Great half then gave it away with stupid decision making at the back. Just fudging clear it!

 

[jrh]

Kulu should have scored when he hit the post. Son with the header.

Porro and Udogie both clear through and missed fairly easy chances

 

[paxtonwolf]

Thats gutting at the end of the first half.

He played some great football, and even after losing Bentancur got the ball forward quickly at times.

Gil and Johnson have added some pace down the wings. Need to see more of Kulusevski dropping in and getting the ball. Had a few good forward runs.

CB is a huge concern, but lack of options

Next week could be brutal

Next week could be brutal

I have mentally written it off. City will be spoiling for revenge after the Pool match.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Wouldnt be so bad either if Alan Smith could contain his joy a little too

 

[Grays_1890]

Im not down on that half, first 15 mins was best football I have seen in a long time. We will murder these second half if we stick to our plans

 

[jrh]

Next week could be brutal

Or the making of this group

 

[FolkestoneSpur]

I think that goal came at a good time, they were going to score today at some point with our back four as it is at least this way Ange has the opportunity to get them fired up to carry on doing what we're doing, our goals will come.

 

[Outrance]

Next week could be brutal

If City score anything less than six against this defense I will be shocked

 

[Bedfordspurs]

The goal we conceded shows why you need centre backs
The way we’re playing and dominating shows why needed a coach

In enjoying it and arguably more so knowing this is a team missing so many players

 

[alekaras]

Up there with our best half of football this season and we arent even winning

And we have only half of our best XI too.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Christ I missed that elbow on Gil. Thats a clear penalty at Anfield or The Emirates

 

[Sandman]

We are playing our system. I honestly think Ange has realized now that Skipp, Dier and Hojberg will affect that set up.

Attacking wise that has been a great half apart from sticking it in the net. Villa giving us a lot of space out wide. Will they change up? Might give Kulu more space.

These guys might get tired though.. Not much option on the bench..

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

F me… the elbow in Gil’s head - that’s a penalty.

 

[Kandi1977]

If we continue to play like that 1st half, there's no way in hell we'll lose! Can't miss that many chances again.
Played some absolutely glorious football, but poor finishing.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Need to score at least 2 more goals in the 2nd half, because the way its panning out you can see them scoring in stoppage time in the 2nd half as well. Hopefully we are 3-1 or 4-1 by then

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Def pen on Gill there. Not getting the breaks of late in that respect.
