Match Premier League - Home to Aston Villa - 03/11 - 2pm KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Firstly - good to catch up with Rocket Rocket , Shades Shades , East Mid Yid East Mid Yid and Spurshaker Spurshaker .
Most of the following points have been made, but my take was:
1. we played well throughout the game, but just more effective in the second half.
2. Pape was my MOTM, he was everywhere, but can't really fault anyone.
3. If we give Dom some decent service, he will score goals.
4. Ange did the right thing in taking Sonny off when he did. We need to manage his playing time, especially as he is just getting back from injury.
5. Villa are a dirty, time-wasting team and I hope whatever caused Cash to go off, leads to him being out for as long as he put Hot Rod out of the game.
6. Feel for Richy, hope his injury is not too serious.
7. Glad I didn't have to listen to that inane gooner commentating while I'm watching the game, in fact I'm glad I don't have to listed to any commentary. I know what I'm looking at, I don't need a so-called expert telling me.
8. The ref was useless, but don't know why I expected any better. 10 minutes extra time , all nearly from their time wasting antics.
9. Got my chicken and noodles to take away and enjoyed them when I got home in time to see the Strictly results show, to learn that one annoying scouser had been knocked out. And with the results yesterday, it's been a pretty good weekend.

Great post.
 
Fair. 'Better' needs to become 'consistently better'.

Criticism of their goal today is fucking out of order though..... Considering the wrestling he was left to do (again; by our zonal non-marking) ; he did well to even get down to make the initial block.... A save that was born of a dodgy header by Bentancur and had already magically gone 'through' our player on the front post.
Johnson copped a solid shove in the back was my impression of how the Villa player got his head on it for the flick on, there were a few protests from Spurs players but as usual Ref wasn't interested
 
Lol bless you. We won. We won't see Mr Thomas until Tuesday.

Mr Thomas says ........

he played himself with fire , changing Son was a big risk for him... but the man is lucky or genius ,Spurs is victorious right now in this match
It was definitely a brave decision.

I've not been Ange's biggest fan thus far but I admire the fact he's prepared to make these decisions. Takes some balls to sub your big names at such an early stage especially after they've just made a major contribution.

Would have been interesting to see how he'd have handled Harry Kane
 
Gutted to have to cancel my trip over for this but my young lad and his mate went for their first unaccompanied match after many years going with me. They had a ball - second half was great (wont mention the first!)
Sarr and Solanke were brilliant. Really good bounce back again second half and deserved the win.
Villa are over rated - said it all last year too we gave them 4th they didn't earn it and they won't get it again this season.

Proper 6 pointer that one - look at where we are now compared to where a loss today would have left us.
Delighted with the last two games after the Palace disaster. I think we may be growing slowly.
