Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur (26 dec 2012)

[TDub]

0/10 on corners, we need to do something about set pieces.

To be honest though, the last two from bale were at least decent though. Adebayor shouldve done better with his header.

 

[jimmyriggle]

One way traffic in our favour but were still lacking the killer instinct. Strikers need to put a shift in

 

[jimmyriggle]

Corner number 800

 

[Park Lane James]

With decent deliveries we probably would have scored a corner by now

 

[Ksaw92]

Why do we not pass short from corners like Barça? If we can't deliver crosses we might as well just build again

 

[Hegarz]

Need a goal before half time, we go in at the break level, they will surely draw some confidence from it, and the 2nd half won't be as easy.

 

[Park Lane James]

We're not Barca, though. We do have height in the box and it makes sense to cross it in - if we abandon the corner completely then we can't work on it in the training ground as there is no match practice there.

I see what you're saying, but all we need is a good delivery.

 

[jimmyriggle]

We don't score in first halves any more

 

[jimmyriggle]

It seems we're putting in good deliveries but at the wrong time. E.g. Last corner saw a good near post run but bale delivered far post

 

[Park Lane James]

At this rate we'll beat the record for corners in a match - I think Everton got 25 a few years back

 

[Tucker]

So frustrating watching us lately absolutely devoid of ideas up front today.

 

[Ksaw92]

Chav$ki managed to put EIGHT past these sorry tossers with Torres leading the line. If anything Villa look worse today.. so wtf is going on?

 

[truetomyself]

We're not Barca, though.

We're better than Barca!

 

[SinghYid]

villa changing back 4 to back 5 = parking the bus = frustrated spurs = no goals = pissed off fans

 

[TDub]

Its so frustrating watching us play. No creativity at all from anybody other than bale with nobody attacking crosses sent into the box.

 

[Thelonious]

this thread looks fun....

 

[BAE32]

Bale looks quality today, Ade and Defoe need to do better.

 

[mistayif]

ade has been pretty poor today. bad first touches, misplacing passes and looking a bit lazy

 

[Ksaw92]

People here were clamouring for Ade & Defoe together but it really doesn't seem to be working. Would like to see what Siggy could conjure from all the time they've been giving us on the ball

 

[Pyro_era]

Should have started Gylfi, really hope he comes on early in the second half
