First of all, great 2nd half performance against a very good side and Garnacho, wow, at 19 he is some player.
But is anyone else not perplexed that Villa played the way they did, especially at 2-0?
I'm not writing this as an article to put a downer on our win, it was a great win and a thoroughly enjoyable game. But I was amazed that Emery kept them playing like that, especially knowing how much we struggle to play through teams.
It felt a little bit like they didn't know what to do at 0-2, and us being at home, had a 'free-hit' in essence to go for it.
I doubt many of us expected the turn-around if they'd kept it tight

Garnacho is very similar to Martinelli

Forest had a hell of a new manager bounce so that’s looking a tricky fixture for you. Must say I’m looking forward to your game vs spurs from an entertainment point of view, should be very end to end.

We absolutely battered Spurs and should have 0-3 to 0-4 up first half but point blank misses cost us. Even in the 2nd half we had 2 great chances. How they won that game was basically a miracle. Ange actually hasn’t done much this season to what was happening before but they are just a lucky side. Everton the latest victims after battering Spurs and losing.

If you look at Spurs stats they are actually worse this season than last. That is why Chelsea hammered them as they concede chance after chance nearly every game they play. I was shocked it took so long for them to get hammered. Spurs expected points 27.21 this season to actual points 36 this season. Expected goal difference of +2.23 vs actual goal difference of +13.
Last season after 18 games it was expected points 29.11 and actual points of 33. Expected goal difference of +6.89 although real goal difference of +12.
So Spurs statistically are playing much worse than last season and probably the worst since expected goals stat came out lol.

Man Utd who have been terrible defensively this season PSXG is 27.9 from 19 games while Spurs is 28.2 from 18 games so Spurs are more wide open than Man Utd lol and we concede goals for fun this season.

BTW I am grateful Villa helped us out. We really needed those 3 points in battle for top 5.

Not surprised Brighton battering Spurs as Brighton are one of the better teams in the league while Spurs are just a jammy side this season.
