Ange on the current injury crisis:
"Yeah (...) We have got eight (injuries), Bentancur nine, we had a couple of suspensions today and we've only got a squad of 25. You do the sums and that's what we've got. We lost Ashley Phillips during the week as well."
"It is just the situation we're in at the moment, but we'll get through it. It might take a little while, but we'll get through it and as long as we show the same intent and play the football we did today, I've got no doubt when we come out the other side, we'll be a very good football team."

No other reason than missing VDV and Romero is why we lost today ….nowt to do with missing Maddison
We bossed that game
In fact even with the centre back pairing we win that game without that dirty khunt cash putting Bentancur out of it
He was controlling the match and was head and shoulders above everyone
Bloke is quality …..classy player
Villa were very dirty first half as knew they were getting out played
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Defence was not the issue, we should have had that game won by halftime, lack of quality and composure at the front

Absolutely spot on. Cash is an absolute thug. Could’ve been sent off as well.

Anyone know of Bents injury is on the same leg as the ACL?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Ange said it wasn`t to bad.
It`s also amusing that a nailed on penalty on Gil, and VAR aint working. It could only happen to Spurs.
Yeah was a close 2nd yellow and he would have got one had he not already been on one
The challenge he made on bentencur was a disgrace and you could tell he felt guilty about it too
Just done 10 months out and a fellow professional does that ….no attempt for the ball
Cash has a real nasty streak in his game

yeah I missed all the build up to the game, what was the deal with VAR? Did they have to turn it off and back on again or something? Blatant elbow to the face and we get nothing, very odd.
I'm curious as to why it now takes ten times as long to draw a couple lines for offsides too. Someone is determined to make VAR worse week by week...
As a Villa fan I'm obviously pleased to have won but Spurs deserved at least a point today. Martinez made some great saves and you missed some good chances. We couldn't deal with your press. But our second goal was a lovely goal and when we went forward we did cause issues as I thought we would against a makeshift central defence. Injuries have been cruel to Spurs and I do feel for them in that sense.
As for Cash, yes horrible tackle, I think he was more reckless than actually went out to injure Bentancur but it's no excuse. Rightly hooked at half time and it worked as we were much better in the 2nd half.
I'm not going to gloat, you're going through a hard time but I'm obviously delighted we're in the top 4 now. Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Yeh didn`t Cash put Doherty out a couple of seasons back. Bit of a thug.

Fair comment mate. And to be fair, if Spurs were 2nd best, but won I would be happy as well.
Spurs have an unprecedented injury and suspension crisis right now, so you probably caught Spurs at the right time, as did Wolves last week.

Fair comment snd I agree with it other than the bit about Cash who does seem to have a nasty streak to his game. Obviously you can correct me if you disagree as you obviously watch him more than I do.

Thanks mate, when you get everyone fit and back from suspension you'll start winning again but you know that. It's a marathon not a sprint so still a long way to go and I'm not getting carried away, but it's great to be in the running. Hopefully we can both get a CL place.

He doesn't have the personality of someone nasty, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I don't like it when one of our players tackles like that. Whether reckless or nasty, it was stupid either way and Bentancur is just back from long term injury. I know he also did it to Doherty a couple of seasons back.
Just letting you know that as a fan I don't like to see our players tackle like that.
