What they checking there?! My 5 year old could tell that was onside.

If Tottenham can play football like this with those players, just like Newcastle yesterday, we have no excuses. They did it in less time.
They’re playing wide open football with a front 3/4 with only 1 goalscorer and a suspect defence that isn’t being protected. The trade off simply isn’t worth it, their goal difference is 9.
if we played like that we would be screaming at the tv. Play like this and they won’t even make EL over a season

Come on Spurs! I really need you to get the League this season. The alternatives are unfathomable.

I'm nearsighted and watching without my glasses and I could see it was onside.
Ridiculous how long they take for the most obvious decisions. By it taking so long, there’s more stoppage time added on at the end of each halves which is gonna cost teams.

They've conceded less than us.

Trying to look for the white text, considering our GD is -3.

Dominating the game against a very good side with many players out and a makeshift defence. Also their goal difference is much better than ours. I’d rather we played how they are playing than what we have played like this season

I still can’t believe how long it took VAR to call offside on Watkins’ goal. How’s possible to be so indecisive and blind? Also the crooked line they drew was almost criminal. Made it look like it’s inches offside when it was well clear.

Yeah right. If we played like Spurs I can only imagine the superlatives that would be thrown around to describe Ten Hag

I’m no tactical genius, but it’s pretty easy to understand that Son works harder and is simply better than our players.
I almost caveated the initial post with him being a better player because I knew this would be an answer.

The fact Son is better & has been doing it for years is the point. Villa will have been planning for Son for the past 2 weeks, their players drilled to stop him yet here he is in acres.

It’s not even Son specific, watch any decent winger in the league & they don’t get half as bogged down as ours do.

Stick Son in our team & I doubt his harder work makes much difference, it’s as if we play a different sport at times.

VAR is ruining football. It's taking all the joy out of it. These long pauses and celebration ceases and the moment is gone.

I'm pro ETH but wtf is this? :lol:

It's literally a chore to watch us play football.

Spurs, should have scored about 5, end up scoring 1. Then let Villa score from a set piece with some weak defending :lol:

Surely they have some academy standout CB's that are in line for a chance in the first team? Think just about anything defending crosses and set pieces would be better than Royal and Davies.

Thought it was the follow through from Kamara
I think a follow through is more Romero on Enzo, perhaps Gusto on the Villa player. This one Kamara just wins the ball cleanly and it’s Porro who is late to the challenge.

You don't half spout a load of rubbish. There's being optimistic - which is fine - and then there's @cyberman level of delusion.

Spurs needs a baller in midfield to feed their attackers, too many chances wasted by bad decisions at the last moment.

Excellent from Watkins. Villa have hung in there and are now leading.
