Villa are on those Cracked PED Asthma type shit liverpool we’re on.
Villa are cracked…
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.
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
So what he should have done is go back to playing the same tactics as last season?
We’re back boys
‘‘Spursy’’
- Roy Keane
This is the new ‘‘Lads, its Tottenham.’’
I know it’s hypothetical, but I reckon Spurs win that if Bentancur didn’t need to go off.
Luiz was class and Villa just cut through the mid on the counter as soon as he went off.
Yeah we really regress whenever Hojbjerg has to play as our 6, he’s not a bad player but he’s like the antithesis of an Angeball player lol.
Fuck me an Auburn Spurs fan must be in hell today. Whew
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.
Give this prodigy a team with Villa in it’s name and he will work miracles.
How am i only realizing this now? VILLAreal and SeVILLA
Smoking on that Tottenham pack 🚬🚬🚬⚰️⚰️⚰️🥳🥳🥳🥳
Game changed with Bentancur injury, Cash fulfilled his purpose
Son with a hat trick of offside goals
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.
He’s a dirty player that has injured a number of players. Of course he’s hated.
The cancer thing is beyond childish but I don’t think redditors have that ability.
Why are Arsenal fans so weird? You just made the cancer thing up
Especially when it was such a nothing tackle. He was late and it was a foul but hardly malicious.
every single fan base has them. But classic arsenal fan glued to the Spurs subreddit constantly. rent free.
Spurs fans are crying about injuries as if Villa haven’t had their fair share of injuries this season. The difference is our players learnt to adjust to the manager’s tactics.
Is anyone suprised ? Same story .They play great till December .Injury pills up .Team become Spurs again .Guess this team is really into edging its fans .
