MON’s Post Spurs Loss Reaction

Martin O’Neill was disappointed after our 2-1 loss to Spurs today and told the official site he thought we played ‘great’ in the first half’ despite conceding an early goal.

Adding, ‘Ashley Young was in great form – really mesmeric in that first half – and it looked as if it was a case of when rather than if we would score. I was very confident in the dressing room at half-time and so were the players. But we conceded a desperately poor goal early in the second half and that was a major setback for us. It rocked us.’

The Villa boss goes on to say the rhythm was gone and adds that they are all ‘bitterly disappointed because it was a game we really thought we could win.’

He also admits our home form has been the problem this season and our record at Villa Park has let us down.
