All these people saying it wasn’t a red card 20 years ago… Beckham Simeone 98… barely touch him but got a red.. why? Cos he wasn’t playing the ball and was just kicking out… Don’t need to explain it to you lot I know but it’s been doing my nut in listening to people say it wasn’t a red 20 years ago… it was. It wouldn’t have been a red in the 70’s… but that is not 20 years ago. Fin
@@lesonline2268 Not a problem with the decision at all, just that those decisions don't get reds more often. I wish shirt pulling was an instant red card as well.
Yeh look, you do see bad refereeing decisions where yellow is given. But the anger with which he made the challenge and the recklessness. It has to be a red for me. It’s such a shame. I just, don’t know what’s happening with Villa atm. We feel a bit rudderless atm. I don’t know what changes that. But, I hope we can hold fast and not lose the amazing start we made this season.
He wanted it more than the rest of them…passion and he had a moment, was a bad challenge but not dangerous…We’re sat in fourth! Disappointed today but a Great season and still 10 games to go…bad result but comon, Emery’s 1st full season, work in progress…enjoy it 🤷♂️ hopefully we’re fired up for Ajax after this and get a good result
@@ciaranwalshe_vocalistMate your flying. I'm spurs, but was shitting it playing you today. Thought you'd do us. We won, deservedly, I don't think you can argue. But the season you've had, bit like us, got to be happy! Mcgin fucked up, crazy stupid tackle, left you in the shit. We've had a few of them. But heads up, great team. Love to see villa doing well. Playing ajax the other day ffs. Rudderless?? Seems like emery knows where he's going.
To be fair if Romero did it everyone would be crying for a red so I don't see why if McGinn does it it isn't. But tbh the refs are dodgy af as well, Havertz dive was a clear red too so it's almost pointless for fans to even have a debate about refs decisions these days imo.
As a Spurs supporter I’m obviously delighted with the 3 points, was surprised by Villa performance, gave us far too much respect. Race for 4th should be close. Great video 👍
I’m a Spurs fan so I absolutely loved the game but I was surprised at how Villa just stopped in the second half. I was dreading this game all week because I want top 4 as much as you guys. But I hardly had a chance to sit down when the game came back on before we were 2-0 up. From there we just cruised to 4-0. I wish you guys luck in the conference league because obviously I can’t wish you luck in the league.
They were ran ragged. Part of that was Villa playing mid week but part of that was Spurs going full throttle throughout the first half, pressing well and moving the ball well. Villa had to work very hard for any joy they got and they had to work very hard just to stay in the game and keep Spurs from scoring. That wore them down and then after 2-0 they knew it was game, set match (hence the McGinn challenge)
Nice little cameo from your dad Max, shows he fully supports your decision to do this channel and he knows your are very passionate about. A supportive dad is all you can ever ask for. Keep up the great vids.
We, are Villa fans….therefore, we should never be surprised! However, I never saw this coming at all! We had a golden opportunity to make a statement on the league…..and we blew it in the worst possible way!!! 😢 UTV
Villa’s form has been terrible recently. But the bigger thing is, as much as nobody from Villa wanted to admit or accept it, Villa played an exceptionally understrength Spurs the first time around.
With Manure and Spurs bound to overtake us it's over, best hope is to qualify again for the Europa Conference next season cos I don't see us getting anything on Thursday either
@@YourMommaGreen Don't despair, Spurs have to play City, Arsenal & Liverpool in consecutive games soon. There is still a chance. I personally think Man Utd are out of it & are doomed for 6th place. From a neutral fan.
@@Thomas-zs5wt maybe so, but the refs always look for any excuse to give Villa the worst possible outcome. Every single week. The league is corrupt AF!
We haven't played well since the city game, the Sheffield one dont count as everyone smashes them. Even in games, we should be winning comfortably we've barely scrapped through like the luton game. Today was abysmal, this one was a must win....at least not lose. Mcginn knew how big this was and threw the team under the bus
Agreed. Scraped recent wins. Defence is average. Diego Carlos has struggled and not surprising after his bad achilles injury. Now over 30--I think he'll continue to struggle. I'll also be surprised if Mings shows his old level of form. We're constrained by FFP etc . Could be difficult to move forward very quickly.
CONTEXT! Putting the emotions of the defeat aside, not even mentioning anything about our injuries and to be where we are at this point of the season, let's not forget about the growth in this short space of time since our Messiah Unai came in the club..👏👍👌,hurting but now we march on....utv
hahahahahahahah so you are going to ignore the fact you drew to bottom of the league and scraped a point ahahahahahahah blatently disregarding the fact you cant beat a relegated team because lbh they are down
Villa never do it the easy way. Great video, win or lose I look forward to these , so glad a Villa blogger is one of the best on here. Thanks for your commitment Max. Up the Villa
First match back at Villa Park since I moved away 13 years ago. Just like the Villa of old, loads of promise, then chucking it away when the pressure is on.
Emery got the system and his tactics wrong today imo. No real threat going forward and Spurs always looked fairly comfortable throughout and Vicario had very little to do. Bad day at the office, we now move on to Thursday where we must bounce back with an improved performance and result.
Appreciate this Max one thing producing a video when everything is hunky, I couldn't watch anything Villa related until Wednesday and that drive back to Bath was horrible
Gutted with today however most of the lads looked knackered, coincidence? Nah that Ajax game took a lot out of them. Let’s just shrug our shoulders, reset and ‘ go again’ .
Why did he change the formation we change our shape for nobody Man City and Arsenal have come here and we play the normal system and won them games. Today seems very odd we had one day to train a different shape for the biggest game of the season it's bizarre that result falls at the managers door the players were not confident in what they were being asked to do from the start.
Don't give up. I'm old enough to remember 1980-81 when we lost to Ipswich and it was all doom and gloom. To quote the great Ron S. "Are you going to bet against us?"
It was a shocker, no-one can deny that. Playing midweek shouldn't be an excuse. Tiredness is one thing but a lack of desire is another. That said, and the only positive, did we really think we'd be 4th in game week 28?!!
Very good assesment, completely agree with all you said. Atmosphere flat yes but when we play as slow & as poor as that it will never kick start the crowd. The fans turned up, apart from McGinn none of the players did
Need a bounce back from that. I actually thought zaniolo was busy when he came on. Diaby and tielemans were passengers in the game for me. Not often emery gets it so wrong but the back 3 didnt work. If we were to play a 3 its surely to get pau on the ball. But it seemed to be lenglet and konsa. Hopefully the kick up the ass required
This was a damaging loss. In a few minutes the two conceded goals and the McGinn straight red made me think at this point I would take a 2 nil loss because this could get worse. And it did.
Gutted for your Dad Max , nothing worse than going back after a few years out and having to witness that , I know myself as a far away old time fan , picking a game to go to is a nightmare 😂 best just stay away , 😅 on a trying to be positive about it note though, we as long suffering forever optimistic and passionate fans have to be happy that after 28 games gone we are still 4th , still in Europe, and just have to strike that one off , it happens and it happens to the best sometimes, at least the Blues are tumbling back into a relegation fight and hopefully this time they drop , that would be hilarious, anyway Max,UTV ! loving the channel, loving the content, love the Redditch connection, all brings back happy memories for me as a kid , Redditch was my playground, Villa Park my favourite place on a Saturday afternoon 👍
First goal was crucial in this and to be fair to Spurs their first goal was excellent . nut you cant concede like we did the 2nd - it was all over then
Need to see a reaction against Ajax. I'm worried as feel we'll concede, so need to score at least two. Tbh that has to be our priority now as can see us losing maybe 5 of our last league games starting at West Ham. Oh well onwards and upwards. UTV 💜
3rd Division South performance (on a bad day) - but I've spent a lot on a hotel and hospitality for me and my son on Thursday. I'm bringing him rather than vice versa so understand Villa on Tour. I've been coming since September 1962 - and never so disappointed as today. Looking at L v MC later - we're totally outclassed. Show me I'm wrong on Thursday.
Unfortunately, I totally agree with your post match analysis. ‘Self-destruct’ was the phrase I used for the 2nd half and to simply give up at the end was unacceptable, especially with goal difference effectively counting as double. Hopefully they can pull themselves together for Thursday. UTV from a Kent Lion.
Hard watch that game was and even I turned it off after about 80mins . I will say maybe it gives the manager a look into who’s going to have the fight going forward and wants the champions league bad enough.! We have to improve a lot from this game but I’m sure they will and Villa can still do this . Just typically the hard way ! UTV
How can you run a fan channel and not stay till the end of the game? You need to show you support your team through the thin as well as the thick. As a Spurs fan I thought it was no coincidence that that awesome team smashing everyone that we were for the first ten games, this is the first time since then we've got to play that first 11. Makes me feel without all the horrendous injuries this season we could easily still be in this title race. I've always had a soft spot for Villa. The Peter Withe, Gary Shaw, etc team in 1981 was the first team I liked as a kid before I settled on Spurs. Let's hope there are 5 Champions League places. 😊
I think running a fan channel is about being authentic. I’m not going to sit about for an extra 10 minutes watching my team getting battered just because I run a fan channel.
It’s really important we all stay calm, regardless of what happens on Thursday. We’ve had a great season & if we do finish 5th it will probably still be enough to bring champions league football.
I agree with your summary Max it was an opportunity lost. Can't see what Zaniola adds to the squad. Watkins appeared to be shot shy in this match !! and Bailey had one of those on the beach matches !! Maginn was trying to inspire his teammates into action but he defo saw the red mist which lets the team down for the next three league matches. As captain he must keep himself under control. Mustn't forget we are missing Kamara, Ramsey and of course Buendia and Mings. Up to the squad to pull together now for the run in. About time Diaby showed us what we paid £50m for.
Dismal day, but thanks for the video. As far as the rest of the season goes, we're still 100% in it. Everything still to play for, lots to look forward too. Spurs are a good side under Ange, let's not forget that. They had a system and a plan that worked yesterday. Ours didn't and the result was . . . well . . . catastrophic. Spare a thought for my cousin who drove down from Aberdeen for that.
Really feeling like the boys heads have not been on it for a while. Still 4th place, even if we finish 5th, I remember the excitement of finishing 6th 09/10 season. Massive achievement and it is not over yet. UTV
Love your channel, and I agree with your comments, you don't win anything for finishing in the top four ,unless your champions,give us a trophy any day of the week, fans remember that
Mcginn was used wrongly by emery, he played him way to deep instead up playing more up front to cause the opposition to panick and defend, however he clearly lost his head and rightfully got sent off
That was a really disappointing trip to Villa Park this afternoon. I never leave games early before the full time whistle is blown. But today I did. It was all over when McGinn was red carded. Wanted to get home for the Liverpool v Man City game and forget the whole debacle of that second half performance in B6. Let’s hope we win against Ajax on Thursday evening. Always UTV 💜💜
Players need to look at themselves after this. Feel for Emery, hes players have let him down. Today was a huge opportunity to make a huge statement of intent on the CL. Anyway, great video as always a great to see your Dad and his support for your channel. UTV
Unfortunately, whenever Villa have had the chance to excel they've blown it. The loss at The City Ground, blowing a 2-0 lead at OT, dominating United at VP only to lose when a win would have completely put them out the CL race (although I doubt they''ll make it anyway) & now a chance to put Spurs' CL hopes in major doubt with home advantage yet losing again. What's worrying is this was supposed to be a close game...
With the game in hand spurs have, we may aswell look at us in 5th already then with that it may give the players a kick up the arse to realise what an important position we are in(if they dont already...) & I'm sure emery will have a 4 hour meeting looking at that game opposed to the normal 2 hour ones 😂
Im sorry but it was a red card. Imagine if it happened to us. We would he baying for blood. Such a poor performance on a day we really needed to etand up. I feel numb after watching that. I hope we can pick ourselves up for Thursday. UTV
Yeah, I like McGinn as a player but it’s been many many years since that tackle would not be considered a straight red. Udogie flying past him up the pitch, McGinn nowhere near the ball, full speed impact using his body from the side AND thrusting his knee right into the opponents knee. Thank goodness Udogie didn’t have his right leg planted at impact or else I could be the end of a promising career. I’ve seen that very thing first hand.
I'm definitely glass half full mate. 3/4 actually! The progress this season is phenomenonal whatever happens. And don't want to do a Newcastle - get CL then fail. Want year on year improvement which we're getting
Oh well, in the books now and onto the next one. If there's one thing we're good at this season, it's bouncing back after a bad performance. Plus, last time we shipped four at home we went on an insane unbeaten run, so lets do the same this year and fight all we can for 4th. UTFV
You summed up the performance well, need more commitment from the lads. Liverpool players will to die in that game against city today, just need a change in mindset
Unai got it wrong and the players evidently didn’t buy into it either, McGinn being the only one who showed any desire and conviction. I don’t understand how players can betray the cause like this, it’s very very disturbing.
Thoughtful reflections, Max.I was impressed by your self-control after clearly being gutted by the manner of the defeat to Spurs. I think the pre-match quote by John Mcginn needs to be used to motivate the team not to let such a defeat happen again this season for the sake of the captain and all the fans.
Agree that the team performance was bad but i can't agree that all the players were equally to blame. Cash had a good game, Tielemans was the link at which the team broke. We did have a good spell in the first half where I thought that Emery's plan had begun to work, but the players just couldnt put the chances away or be sharp. But out of possession Spurs were miles better and Tielemans lost it or didn't regain or wasnt even in a position to.
Not easy to pick ourselves up after that performance. We’ve rarely been at our best since the Man City win have we. Apart from bits and pieces against Forest and Luton. Lots of reasons for that. But we are looking tired. 5th and a Euro Trophy is best we can hope for now. But we need to up our game for Europe. I’d have taken that before the season started.
Mate - you look shell shocked!😳I’m in my sixties now (and was at Rotterdam) but this is why I can’t & don’t get emotional about it anymore. Different game now days compared to then - we were different then!
I get that your a villa fan, so give a villa-centric perspective, but objectively it had nothing to do with villa. it was all about how scintillating spurs were.
To be honest mate this type of result has been coming and I think villa have some sort of issue with Lenglet because whenever he is in the team this happens: we conceded 2 goals against (bottom-table) teams (Forest, Luton and Burnley) We conceded 3 goals against (Mid-table teams) Newcastle and Chelsea and today we conceded 4 goals against spurs. The pattern of goals that villa are conceding is clear and Unai Emery needs to sort this defence out especially when it comes to defending against set pieces otherwise we are not going to get top 4 that’s for sure.
I think you’re on to something. There was a reason why Postecoglu dismissed any thought of signing Lenglet on for another season at Spurs. Ange needs CBs with enough pace and defensive ability in recovery to play his high defensive line. While comfortable on the ball and reasonably decent when setting up in a defensive back three system, Lenglet simply can’t perform well in Ange’s high line/progressive and direct passing style. Unai Emery also plays a relatively high line normally no? I have a soft spot for Villa and watch them play occasionally. Lenglet is just not suited to your football. Agree with your observation 100%.
I won’t be bringing my Dad to Villa Park again… 🤣
😂😅
😂🤣😂
He's banned from any future games 😂
Good idea 😂
Losing 4-0 at home isn’t villa
Can’t believe you think that wasn’t a red card. No attempt to get the ball and just reckless violent lunge through his legs. Awful foul.
Yeah well said not even from a single angle it looks right
All these people saying it wasn’t a red card 20 years ago…

It was definitely a red, but the complaint I have is that others like that only get yellows.
@@wefinishthisnow3883 that was red all day long. The fact you agree I’m not sure why you have a problem.
@@lesonline2268 Not a problem with the decision at all, just that those decisions don't get reds more often.

That was definitely a red, didn’t even look at the ball, he ran with all his might towards Udogie and absolutely punted him.

Spurs fan. Just wanted to say that kit in the beginning is absolute class.
McGinn tried to end a player's life, but the scene where the fans praise him doesn't make sense 🤯
The ball was so far gone that it he was lucky he wasn't charged for assault.
wow, we got schooled
Villa never do it the easy way. Great video, win or lose I look forward to these , so glad a Villa blogger is one of the best on here. Thanks for your commitment Max. Up the Villa
Great video even as a spurs fan! Good top 4 chase
I was far too optimistic for this one
Good point mate about our slow starts in the 2nd half. Happens regularly.
Why oh why can't we defend the first 10 minutes of a second half. 15 goals conceded this season between 45 and 55 minutes.
First match back at Villa Park since I moved away 13 years ago. Just like the Villa of old, loads of promise, then chucking it away when the pressure is on.
It cannot be underestimated how much we are going to miss Boubacar Kamara. An absolute beast in our midfield.
Villa park turned from a fortress to a construction site in a few months😢
Emery got the system and his tactics wrong today imo.
No real threat going forward and Spurs always looked fairly comfortable throughout and Vicario had very little to do.
Bad day at the office, we now move on to Thursday where we must bounce back with an improved performance and result.

The sound of those seats shutting was just bliss.😅
these games were bound to happen at some point. Great vlog as always Max

The Peter Withe, Gary Shaw, etc team in 1981 was the first team I liked as a kid before I settled on Spurs. Let's hope there are 5 Champions League places. 😊
I think running a fan channel is about being authentic. I’m not going to sit about for an extra 10 minutes watching my team getting battered just because I run a fan channel.
It’s really important we all stay calm, regardless of what happens on Thursday. We’ve had a great season & if we do finish 5th it will probably still be enough to bring champions league football.
Mate that's such a clear red lol i think your glasses might be a lil too tinted 😆❤️
I agree with your summary Max it was an opportunity lost. Can't see what Zaniola adds to the squad. Watkins appeared to be shot shy in this match !! and Bailey had one of those on the beach matches !! Maginn was trying to inspire his teammates into action but he defo saw the red mist which lets the team down for the next three league matches. As captain he must keep himself under control. Mustn't forget we are missing Kamara, Ramsey and of course Buendia and Mings. Up to the squad to pull together now for the run in. About time Diaby showed us what we paid £50m for.
Dismal day, but thanks for the video. As far as the rest of the season goes, we're still 100% in it. Everything still to play for, lots to look forward too. Spurs are a good side under Ange, let's not forget that. They had a system and a plan that worked yesterday. Ours didn't and the result was . . . well . . . catastrophic. Spare a thought for my cousin who drove down from Aberdeen for that.
Welcome to being a VILLA fan a roller-coaster run
Very poor from emery and a lot of the players, if you to play with the big boys, get used to playing twice a week
Really feeling like the boys heads have not been on it for a while. Still 4th place, even if we finish 5th, I remember the excitement of finishing 6th 09/10 season. Massive achievement and it is not over yet. UTV
Love your channel, and I agree with your comments, you don't win anything for finishing in the top four ,unless your champions,give us a trophy any day of the week, fans remember that
Mcginn was used wrongly by emery, he played him way to deep instead up playing more up front to cause the opposition to panick and defend, however he clearly lost his head and rightfully got sent off
Very poor day at the office Need to bounce back on Thursday. UTV
Totally agree with ya
That was a really disappointing trip to Villa Park this afternoon. I never leave games early before the full time whistle is blown. But today I did. It was all over when McGinn was red carded. Wanted to get home for the Liverpool v Man City game and forget the whole debacle of that second half performance in B6. Let’s hope we win against Ajax on Thursday evening. Always UTV 💜💜
Smashed isn’t the word! It was awful and embarrassing! What the hell was McGinn thinking??!!! I’m just perplexed by the whole lot yesterday x
Only highlight was the Longlet nutmeg!
Shocking result!
In Emery we trust!!
But please dont play 5 at the back we were awful today !!!!
Spurs wanted it more than us, WHY !!!!
Players need to look at themselves after this. Feel for Emery, hes players have let him down. Today was a huge opportunity to make a huge statement of intent on the CL.
Anyway, great video as always a great to see your Dad and his support for your channel. UTV
Unfortunately, whenever Villa have had the chance to excel they've blown it. The loss at The City Ground, blowing a 2-0 lead at OT, dominating United at VP only to lose when a win would have completely put them out the CL race (although I doubt they''ll make it anyway) & now a chance to put Spurs' CL hopes in major doubt with home advantage yet losing again. What's worrying is this was supposed to be a close game...
Honest as always
''Do you want to bet against us?'' #AVFC
With the game in hand spurs have, we may aswell look at us in 5th already then with that it may give the players a kick up the arse to realise what an important position we are in(if they dont already...) & I'm sure emery will have a 4 hour meeting looking at that game opposed to the normal 2 hour ones 😂
Max spot on I agree 100% I left on 82 mins so well done for lasting that long UTV
Humbled
Joke that you didn’t think it was a red…
The ball was so far gone that he was lucky he wasn't done for assault.
Im sorry but it was a red card. Imagine if it happened to us. We would he baying for blood.
Such a poor performance on a day we really needed to etand up. I feel numb after watching that. I hope we can pick ourselves up for Thursday. UTV
First villa fan I’ve seen admit this, fair play mate respect that
Yeah, I like McGinn as a player but it’s been many many years since that tackle would not be considered a straight red. Udogie flying past him up the pitch, McGinn nowhere near the ball, full speed impact using his body from the side AND thrusting his knee right into the opponents knee. Thank goodness Udogie didn’t have his right leg planted at impact or else I could be the end of a promising career. I’ve seen that very thing first hand.
Let’s hope for the Villa bounce back on Thursday!
I'm definitely glass half full mate. 3/4 actually! The progress this season is phenomenonal whatever happens. And don't want to do a Newcastle - get CL then fail. Want year on year improvement which we're getting
I might just be bad luck guys. From the states and have yet to see us score at both matches I’ve been to
Oh well, in the books now and onto the next one. If there's one thing we're good at this season, it's bouncing back after a bad performance. Plus, last time we shipped four at home we went on an insane unbeaten run, so lets do the same this year and fight all we can for 4th. UTFV
You summed up the performance well, need more commitment from the lads. Liverpool players will to die in that game against city today, just need a change in mindset
Unai got it wrong and the players evidently didn’t buy into it either, McGinn being the only one who showed any desire and conviction. I don’t understand how players can betray the cause like this, it’s very very disturbing.
Thought the formation was a big reason for what went wrong. Bailey central was a terrible move. Should of changed it back at half time.
Thoughtful reflections, Max.I was impressed by your self-control after clearly being gutted by the manner of the defeat to Spurs. I think the pre-match quote by John Mcginn needs to be used to motivate the team not to let such a defeat happen again this season for the sake of the captain and all the fans.
Agree that the team performance was bad but i can't agree that all the players were equally to blame. Cash had a good game, Tielemans was the link at which the team broke. We did have a good spell in the first half where I thought that Emery's plan had begun to work, but the players just couldnt put the chances away or be sharp. But out of possession Spurs were miles better and Tielemans lost it or didn't regain or wasnt even in a position to.
Returning from thursday in Europe is hard.
Too week when it matters! Started against Man Utd at Christmas.
*weak
Bloody auto correct.
I really enjoyed that COYS
Lads, please this was a bad day. We will be back
Even if you lot come 5th you'll still probably get UCL football, especially if you go all the way in the conference, I wouldn't worry
Anyone who thinks that tackle wasn’t a red card needs to get a serious grip… had that been one of our players we would be calling for blood.
Not easy to pick ourselves up after that performance. We’ve rarely been at our best since the Man City win have we. Apart from bits and pieces against Forest and Luton. Lots of reasons for that. But we are looking tired. 5th and a Euro Trophy is best we can hope for now. But we need to up our game for Europe. I’d have taken that before the season started.
Mate - you look shell shocked!😳I’m in my sixties now (and was at Rotterdam) but this is why I can’t & don’t get emotional about it anymore. Different game now days compared to then - we were different then!
I get that your a villa fan, so give a villa-centric perspective, but objectively it had nothing to do with villa. it was all about how scintillating spurs were.
we took the 3 pts, but you gifted us 4 goal difference at the end. stupid really we went from -6 to +2 on villa
Coys! Glad we battered you after the disrespect at Tottenham when you beat us so luckily
Get over the red card, Spurs were up 2-0 and playing Villa off the park long before the red card.
To be honest mate this type of result has been coming and I think villa have some sort of issue with Lenglet because whenever he is in the team this happens: we conceded 2 goals against (bottom-table) teams (Forest, Luton and Burnley) We conceded 3 goals against (Mid-table teams) Newcastle and Chelsea and today we conceded 4 goals against spurs. The pattern of goals that villa are conceding is clear and Unai Emery needs to sort this defence out especially when it comes to defending against set pieces otherwise we are not going to get top 4 that’s for sure.
I think you’re on to something. There was a reason why Postecoglu dismissed any thought of signing Lenglet on for another season at Spurs. Ange needs CBs with enough pace and defensive ability in recovery to play his high defensive line. While comfortable on the ball and reasonably decent when setting up in a defensive back three system, Lenglet simply can’t perform well in Ange’s high line/progressive and direct passing style. Unai Emery also plays a relatively high line normally no? I have a soft spot for Villa and watch them play occasionally. Lenglet is just not suited to your football. Agree with your observation 100%.
