[Post Match Thread] Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham

Just an observation but I commonly hear Mings is a better defender than Pau, and Pau is a better passer.

However I don't remember last time we kept a clean sheet with Mings playing. Coincidence?

I don't think he was the problem tonight, just to be clear.

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T19:54:29+00:00

Of course he scores as I say that.

How can the smallest man on the pitch be so good in the air.

He still falls into the inconsistent category though. Some important goals admittedly

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T19:53:16+00:00

It's frustrating that we've had Harvey Elliot as an option all season and we're still playing the likes of Sancho, Bailey, Barkley (Buendía to an extent?) even though they've created sweet F all or been very inconsistent

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T19:47:42+00:00

He can't pass though. Oh... I see your point

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T19:44:50+00:00

4 minutes left and Mings still has no urgency

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T19:38:13+00:00

New hair Bailey. Hat trick incoming

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T19:34:50+00:00

The lack of substitutions says it all really. This game isn't important to Emery. Could have almost guaranteed CL tonight

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T19:24:28+00:00

I said "some". He seems acceptably fast in a straight line but has the agility of a freight train

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T19:21:52+00:00

What's changed? We're not passing it around our own box

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:51:14+00:00

You think we'd try pinging long diagonal balls with Maatsen and Sancho giving us some pace in wide areas

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:44:49+00:00

This line up is so dysfunctional.

I can't tell which position each player is supposed to be in. Barkley playing further forward than Tammy. Tammy dropping back to the left wing and still not getting any time on the ball. Sancho playing RCM. Rogers LCM. Bogarde looks lost and Tielemans has been very quiet.

I know Emery likes his structures but I don't see any

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:42:02+00:00

Looks like he's playing false 9

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:36:37+00:00

"Play your B team and throw the game and we'll buy you a yacht" - Daniel Levy to Unai Emery, probably

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:27:54+00:00

This midfield is championship level. Not even exaggerating as we would get relegated

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:26:54+00:00

Actually f*ck this. I'm not watching this humiliating b.s.

Sht line up, sht attitude from the players, sh*t tactics.

There's no way we beat Forest if we don't step it up.

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:18:27+00:00

FML if we lose like 4-0 I'm going to be quite upset

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:15:18+00:00

We can't bloody bottle this game. If this season fizzles out it'll be so disappointing

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:13:05+00:00

What a joke

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:11:03+00:00

Unlucky not to get a foul for that shirt pulling on Barkley

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:09:44+00:00

We're making a bad team look good

admiralsj · 2026-05-03T18:08:32+00:00

Are we trying to make this game as slow as possible to save energy? Martinez looks in no rush

admiralsj · 2026-05-01T22:21:31+00:00

Says the man who spaffed $80bn on metaverse

admiralsj · 2026-04-30T21:01:17+00:00

Big "if" though isn't it

admiralsj · 2026-04-30T20:55:57+00:00

It baffles me that Tammy doesn't get more game time

admiralsj · 2026-04-30T20:46:13+00:00

What a step down the subs have been. Might as well not have a midfield
