Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa (A) (16/02/20) (2pm)

[Distaste for scouse]

Great half of football that, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Credit to them for having a real go and having us on the ropes, and for us hanging in and coming back into the game.

Fuck VAR but in this instance it was an obvious Pen

 

[SpursAllTheWay]

Yeah BBC saying:

I can't see Son Heung-min coming out for the second half here - his arm is clearly bothering him.

 

[Linesman]

Come March he won’t be taking any more penalties thankfully

 

[tedesco23]

We survived those first dreadful 20 minutes. Lead at the half is huge. Mou will get it fully sorted out.

4-1.

 

[Trojanhorse]

By the way, Dier is having good game there. And I'm not even mentioning his butt assist.

 

[Joshking5]

People saying Dele has been poor, I disagree he has been making stuff happen, he’s the only one that attacks space with well timed runs, but his finishing hasn’t been there.

I really really hope we take some fucking control of the game second half, cant even blame dier today but our midfield have no control at all.

Well done for Toby showing some character. Let’s bring either Ndombele or Lo Celso on to try and gain a foothold.

 

[Hrytn]

Dele Alli lost three giant chances

I did predict 7-1 win but didn't take into account dele will miss 3 giant chances.

 

[NW1Spur]

Didnt he score in the Cup

He hasn't got a great penalty technique. Neither does one thing nor the other.

 

[Nikesh]

Ronaldo McDonald more like

Two pens and two goals at the end of em. What you complaining about

 

[rhenkt]

Sonny looks to be off with the arm injury.

 

[Steed_Train]

Bergwijn has been really good.

Really? He’s been pretty anonymous apart from a good cross and the run for the pen.

Not a bad game but nothing stand out

 

[Darnswim]

Lloris 6
Aurier 4
Sanchez 4
Aldeweireld 6
Davies 4
Dier 2
Winks 5
Bergwijn 6
Lucas 6
Dele 1
Son 2

6 for Bergwijn and for Hugo, who made a mess out of their goal? Either Bergwijn and Lucas should be higher, or Hugo should be lower.

 

[bus-conductor]

What a fucking mess

 

[JRP]

I'd probably have Toby as our penalty taker at the moment.

 

[tedesco23]

Dier, putting the “ass” in “ass-ist.”

 

[Johnboy40]

Checking for handbakk

im gonna assume thats a typo, and not a comment on the shiteness of VAR

 

[thinktank]

Lloris 6
Aurier 4
Sanchez 4
Aldeweireld 6
Davies 4
Dier 2
Winks 5
Bergwijn 6
Lucas 6
Dele 1
Son 2

Main culprit is JM for that 'midfield' selection.

No core for our game to coalesce around.

 

[Jay Ban]

Sonny has actually been quite poor in his recent run in yet he has scored 5 on the bounce.

 

[YidZecke]

People saying Dele has been poor, I disagree he has been making stuff happen, he’s the only one that attacks space with well timed runs, but his finishing hasn’t been there.

I really really hope we take some fucking control of the game second half, cant even blame dier today but our midfield have no control at all.

Well done for Tony showing some character. Let’s bring either Ndombele or Lo Celso on to try and gain a foothold.

Agree, played well and put in some fight that we clearly needed. Just his finishing is frustrating and deceives the perception for the rest of his performance.

 

[RocketRonny]

get the third and seal this off.
