Icecream Snow 761 Posted August 10, 2019 For a team that's spent a supposed £134 million, I'd argue their Championship squad was stronger. Tuanzebe and Abraham would walk into this team, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van wink 2,994 Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Its great having a geniune interest in the PL again, last couple of seasons Ive not really been that keen to watch games, but for some reason the interest is rekindled. I wonder if Keith has a keen interest in this one 😀 Edited August 10, 2019 by Van wink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Canary1 91 Posted August 10, 2019 Villa have certainly looked good, Spurs dominating but cant get behind the Villa defence. Looks like they will be more than fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,283 Posted August 10, 2019 I’ve never seen so many dives, yes spurs are bloody awful, just shows how far away the top two are! 4-1 at Liverpool looks a decent result in the grand scheme of things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Canary1 91 Posted August 10, 2019 Spurs are probably the best of the rest, so fair play to Villa. Spurs really should of scored though and I'd be surprised if they don't in the second half Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,580 Posted August 10, 2019 Bit of a lucky goal from a long punt but can't deny they've defended resolutely and made life difficult for Spurs. Don't look like a team who'll struggle this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanuts 150 Posted August 10, 2019 Villa's approach is probably the sensible one to take - keep it tight, park the bus and try to get something on the break or from a set piece. So far it's worked perfectly for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,129 Posted August 10, 2019 Sitting very deep and looking comfortable. Not sure Spurs look capable of breaking them down at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not far off, they've got a bank of 4 and 5 behind the ball at all times, and are defending deep on the edge of their own box. Doing a very good job though, pretty sure we wouldn't be able to manage to play this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
