Spurs were excellent.
Villa just lack any real quality. Delfouneso is quite lively I suppose, and I like the energy and commitment of Alrbrighton, but other than that Villa didn't have much going for them.
MON spent quite poorly and now then they sold their best players and investment has dried up. They're not too dissimilar to us really.

From what I've seen of Alrbrighton, he looks like he has bags of potential with an eye for goal. Villa also have a fella in the middle who looks pretty good, might be Bannan or Hogg, really good on the ball and runs at players.
The difference with Villa and us over the last few years is that they have been giving their kids a chance, maybe that's due to finance but tonight they had Delfouneso, Alrbrighton, Agbonlahor, Hogg, Ciaran Clark and Bannan in the squad. Not bad if you have that amount of reasonable talent coming through and you can mix it with a strong first team, which Villa are failing to do.
