Blog 35! Disappointing afternoon!
Hi all,
It's been a while since I last blogged, but unfortunately I have to write about how my day has been very disappointing. So it's not the most Jolly Blog.
I went home this weekend which on a positive note, was really nice and I was treated to lots of food and drink that I've missed since being a university. I also had a catch up with family and drove my car around the streets of Lichfield. It's strange, when you are away from home you get used to being away, but when you go back you realise the sort of things you miss. So being home was really nice. UNTIL...... I went to watch Aston Villa this afternoon. Sorry non-football fans this blog is going to be focused on the Villa match.
In my article for avillafan.com this morning I mentioned how Villa have had a good run over the last 3 games, and keeping it tight at the back. I also focused on the positives of our recent performances and the sort of tactics we could have played. But now the match is over and we got outplayed by Spurs, losing 2-0 it's time for a slight rant.
For the first half an hour we followed the sort of tactics I expected for today's match, and I think Lambert got it right. We were pressing Spurs and giving them very little time on the ball, resulting in them passing back to the keeper on a regular basis. Neither team had many chances and if it wasn't for a dodgy ball into the box by Townsend, missing all the players in the box and creeping into the net, I think that both teams would have gone in level at the break. In the second half it was fairly one sided until the introduction of Benteke who tried to create chances for the Villa, but as soon as Spurs grabbed their second the game was lost.
Delph impressed me again today, working his socks off for the team and trying to create some chances for Villa. I also thought that the defence looked fairly decent again against a Spurs team who are very good at attacking. Townsend was outstanding again and caused out right back Luna some serious problems.
On the negative side Kozak was poor. He is a waste of money in my opinion, and although he has played a few games recently due to Benteke's injury, he has done little to impress me. Today he didn't get his head on anything and he was unable to hold the ball up on any occasion. He was fighting a losing battle and at times I felt sorry for him. As soon as he left the field we instantly looked like a better side with Benteke getting his head on everything and holding the ball up, allowing the rest of the team to press forward. Unfortunately Spurs got their second and there was no coming back.
I had to write about this because I thought I had to follow up on my article this morning.
Onwards and upwards and let's hope we can pick up the form we were getting from the Villa team before the international break.
I'll be back soon with another blog, and I promise it will be less focused on football and back to the usual Opinion Counts.
