Aston Villa boss, Alex McLeish has heaped praise on Tottenham Hotspur’s outstanding performance, as the Villans were completely outplayed by the Spurs in a recent 2-0 loss at the White Hart Lane.
Harry Redknapp’s team totally dominated the fixture from start to finish, as the Spurs went on to record a 2-0 win against Aston Villa. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526, who is currently on loan from Manchester City, scored both times for the host and sent Tottenham Hotspur
to the third place in the league standings.
McLeish was very impressed by Tottenham Hotspur’s recent display and has asserted that the Spurs have the quality and strength in their squad to challenge for a Champions League place this season.
The Scotsman told the reporters:
“I think Spurs are a really good side, there’s no reason why with that XI on the field they can’t be a match for anybody.”
The Villans boss was disappointed with his side’s defence on both goals as he believes that his side could have easily avoided conceding.
“Both goals were a calamity, calamitous, both goals we have to defend better. Spurs kept it alive and Adebayor didn’t mess about,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scotland-c756 manager added.
McLeish has admitted that Aston Villa were completely outplayed by Tottenham Hotspur in every aspect of the game.
The former Birmingham City boss said, “They were a different class in terms of their players, their speed; their athleticism was too much for us tonight."
The Villans boss believes that four clubs are fighting for the last two Champions League berths. With the recent win, Tottenham Hotspur have moved to third spot in the league standings ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, who all have same number of
points so far.
McLeish feels that the aforementioned clubs are in a league of their own, and added:
“But there are some great teams, the top six or whatever it is, are probably the super clubs now and are very difficult to beat, now Liverpool are emerging again.”
Aston Villa are currently placed eight in the Barclays Premier League table with 15 points from 12 matches.
