That "offside trap" by Villa

[–] Shuxnae@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck Matt Cash.

[–] Moist_Dark_7976@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Idk man, When a spurs player gets Romero'd it's a travesty, yet when Romero cleans out and bout kills someone it's yeah but was a yellow mate, didn't mean it!

[–] KuramaEU@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just some consistency would be nice. Nothing more, nothing less.

[–] aldidot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mate mate mate mate you wouldn't believe it mate but Unai Emery's brilliant Aston Villa side went up to the media darling's backyard and utterly smoked them mate. They conceded first mate but then Big Pau Torres headed a towering header home past Big Ainge's keeper mate then Ollie Watkins grabbed the game-winner mate, oh my God mate unreal scenes to witness mate and such a dagger to the hearts of Sky Sports and every other UK-based media who hyped up these lot while the whole world knows these guys have losing in their club's DNA and their downfall was only a matter of time mate

Bust phase well under way.

Villa are cracked...

[–] Huge-Celebration5192@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

3 managers of the month and sacked in the month after

Surely never been done before?

[–] david_of_rivia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Merkarov@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] FaithfulKind201@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Game changed with Bentancur injury, Cash fulfilled his purpose

[–] drakothedj@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Smoking on that Tottenham pack 🚬🚬🚬⚰️⚰️⚰️🥳🥳🥳🥳

[–] evilbeaver7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why are Spurs fans acting like they're the only ones with injured and suspended players? Last season Chelsea had like 11-12 players who could make the first team squad out for months due to injury and United this season. They were laughing when it happened to others. But it doesn't feel nice when it happens to you, does it?

[–] -m11-@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. No sympathy for them, esp not this season with all the injuries happening across the league.

Our injury/suspended list would finish 3rd in the PL.

Of just the starting XI we’re missing Romero, Vandeven, Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison, and Richarlison.

But it’s also hurting our depth. Sessegnon, Peresic, Solomon all out as well.

Despite all that, we were incredibly unlucky. Hit the post, missed at least two, maybe three, fantastic chances.

[–] PiggBodine@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hahahahahhahaha. No.

[–] teknotel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Richarlison lol

[–] Just-Shelter9765@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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 .

[–] highways@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ange learning that you can't stick to one plan the entire season

This ain't the SPL

[–] Ringer7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If you actually watched the match you would know this loss was not down to Ange's tactics. His plan had Spurs dominating for the majority of the match. The Spurs attackers did not finish their chances. This loss was down to execution by the players. Villa's goals were from a set piece header and a normal possession-based attack, not by getting in behind a high defensive line.

[–] Mediocre_Nova@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We looked good though? Just a difference in finishing and actually having a single CB on the pitch

I like Postecoglu, but I'm gonna be a spurs hater for the rest of the season after the way the first match with Liverpool went.

So this was nice.

Warra title challenge for spurs 😊

[–] bucsraysbolts69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Get in Unai!!

[–] justsean09@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Chris_the_Pirate@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Good match to Villa. Honestly thought Spurs played better today & should've came away with a point atleast, but credit to Villa for taking their chances and converting them.

Officiating was great. People making a deal about the Cash tackle are being dumb. Standard yellow.

Defense held up well, just need to execute better in the box. This gives me hope for the next few months with VDV out.

[–] huntershark666@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Spurs should have been 3 up at half time, but somehow went in level. Don't think too many teams would deal with the key injuries spurs have. Bit much for people to be writing of Ange

Petition to rename offside goals Boomerangs in honor of Boomer Ange. Looking for signatures.

[–] Bujakaa92@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still dont get why Kulu did not get that penalty. Specially if now Martial got it for his halfass dive

[–] kidenvy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think people are misunderstanding the Spurs squad situation as an injury crisis. Yes there are a lot of players out, but it's not the number of players, it's the specific players and the lack of depth behind them.

Even with players healthy, we would be bound to struggle without VdV and Maddison. Those two have been transformative signings in areas of weakness we've had for years.

Although the current CB situation is shambolic, us Spurs fans knew this could happen based on the status of the squad after the summer window.

[–] EVANonSTEAM@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The irony of r/coys having a “Fuck Matty Cash”thread when they’ve had a dirty squad for years.

[–] Equivalent_Nature_67@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They know it full well too - "If Cuti were on Cash would he leaving the pitch without his legs" 🤣ok guys way to defy the accusations

[–] openlyEncrypted@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The "Hat trick of offside" had me dying

[–] ImWhy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Seeing a lot of people in this thread who didn't actually watch the game and are just judging by scoreline. Spurs played really well and were unlucky with Son netting an offside hattrick, realistically this should have been a cruisy win for them. People trying to say Ange is washed and Spurs have been found out are absolutely hilarious, their tactics are still working, they just need to address the defensive issues and take their chances better and they'll be dominant again, this is all from a Chelsea fan.

[–] TeamRocketApologist@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"They just need to concede less, score more, and they'll be dominant" 🤡

[–] ModsSuckDildoDicks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha.
