Unai Emery has Aston Villa in 4th. What a fucking madman. Give this prodigy a team with Villa in it's name and he will work miracles.

Unai Emery got on the Aston Villa seat mid way through last year and hasn’t stopped cooking.

Obligatory Gerrard is a fraud.

That was an entertaining match. Ange is probably going to cop criticism but it's not his fault his players couldn't finish. Another day and they could've easily had 6 goals.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not a single spurs fan is blaming Ange for this loss. The tactic was good but the players just arent good enough

People bantering Postecoglou but he’s been a revelation for Spurs. They’ve been utterly crippled with injuries and still gave us a hell of a game in the first half. They’re a million miles away from the team that sleepwalked to the end of last season.

Its not impossible that they’ll lose to city as well but overall, he seems like the right man to give time to.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Good ebening.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Almost as if when we lost 4 or 5 key starters and had to play the same old culprits under our previous managers, we start playing seeing the same problems.

Watkins could be a serious option for Arteta, he's a menace.

Ange would want us to enjoy this.

All those manager of the month awards are coming home to roost.

Ratbag Matty cash at it again

it's r/coys and chill tonight lads, who's with me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Tottenham deserved to win the game but by having full-backs as central-backs it is normal that they lost

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah mate, we're just gonna keep doing the same shit every game mate, even if we lose mate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Matty cunt has injured 3 of our players now. Hopefully he gets hit by a car on his night out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Under Wenger's new offside rule this would have been a score fest

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Man, Gerrard was weighing that team down immensely, they look so different!

Always help when you sign certified bangers in Pau and Moussa, quality recruitment.

Watkins is a beast.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I’d love Watkins at arsenal, he’s great

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Okay lads time to rationalise why this loss was actually a good thing because of philosophy or something like that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Tottenham may never win a game again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Pure fifa manager all out attack. PoSiTve

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'd say these games are pretty much a write off with the current backline anyway, brave setup from Ange which resulted in a much more positive game than the Wolves one, but unfortunately didn't pay off in the end

Romero does 10 Matty Cash tackles a game but thats fine with Spurs fans. Its not Cash fault that Bentancur is made of paper lmao wasn't even a horrible challenge

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

How a month can change so much for a football team. That’s why you never get too excited this early.

What the fuck is Unai cooking

We were pretty toilet in the first half, much better in the second. The offside trap worked well. I really don’t know how we won, all said, but I also don’t care :)

1st place is lava?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Idk man, When a spurs player gets Romero'd it's a travesty, yet when Romero cleans out and bout kills someone it's yeah but was a yellow mate, didn't mean it!

What sort of name is Postecoglou? Turkish? Romanian?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Villa absolutely overwhelmed in the first half, game should've been over by 30 mins. Seems like the press really dropped off in the second half. December might not be too kind to Tottenham.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ange seems like a great bloke but his refusal to adapt from his system has completely fucked this team over.

They are all gassed, too many injuries, playing at full speed for 100+ mins. This injury crisis isn't a coincidence. These tactics take their toll. He never had the strength in depth to maintain this and every injury compounds the obvious issue. It also requires players returning from injury to be playing at 100mph which is unwise.

Teams that have success playing like this have much better squads and know when to slow it down or play defensively when necessary.

Villa played awful today and still won, Chelsea played awful against them and won 4-1, Wolves were able.to keep going for the full match and deserved the win.

It will be fun to watch, but without better game and squad management this team will be lucky to finish in the top 8.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It would be way too soon for the players to be getting injured because of the tactics, Spurs aren't in any other competition and we're like a third of the way into the season. The only injury today was Bentancur and that's because Cash decided to chop him down in his own half, it wasn't because he was running too much

Don't worry Spurs, in times like these you may borrow a phrase which has given us strength on many a cold point-less night: next year is our year!

Every time Spurs are offside a Kangaroo loses its wings

The amount of Spurs fans wishing Matty Cash serious injury and even cancer in their sub is disturbing but not surprising. Just spent 10 minutes reporting 30+ accounts for threatening violence. 1 ban already came through, hopefully many more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Why are Arsenal fans so weird? You just made the cancer thing up
