Post by: Rigadon on October 02, 2012, 08:33:45 PM: Remember this fixture last season being one of only a handful of games I've watched us play where I've been embarrassed. It was so utterly one sided and we were so devoid of any redeeming feature.

We are completely different kettle of fish now thankfully and I fancy us to get a draw.

Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: robbo1874 on October 02, 2012, 10:31:34 PM: I think we'll get a draw after twice taking the lead: 2-2 and it will seem like 2 pts dropped rather than a point gained.

Spurs did well to win at OT this weekend, buts it's not a good utd team this year. Our current form is ok too, so a draw for me.
Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: joecrow on October 02, 2012, 10:32:24 PM: 2-2. Benteke double from the bench. will be spending Sunday afternoon searching Amsterdam for a bar showing it.

Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Chipsticks on October 02, 2012, 11:48:10 PM: A gutsy 2-2 draw, in a very entertaining game.

Bent and Super Marc for us, Bale twice for them.

Yeah, the memory of Hutton playing on one wing and Heskey on the other!! Would take a draw this weekend.

Post by: JQV on October 03, 2012, 02:02:14 AM: Will be in a Sharm bar with 36 degrees heat so a 3-1 win will go down nicely.

Holman, Bent and Albrighton.

Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Matt Collins on October 03, 2012, 06:27:11 AM: Very hard to predict a Villa side these days. I think I'd go:

Guzan - lichaj vlaar Clark Bennett - albrighton kea delph - Holman - bent gabby

Subs: given Lowton Westwood bannan n'zogbia weimann benteke

Lowton has looked shakier of late and lichaj might be better against bale. I'd be surprised if bent doesn't start. Holman looked good in the hole. Delph adds more steel than bannan.

We could play more of a narrow 4 in midfield: Holman kea delph bannan. But I think this might leave us more predictable and playing in very straight lines

Gonna be a tough game whatever. We used to have a great record against spurs but that's all changed in recent years. I remember 2separate games where we went 2-0 down at whl, only to come back and win 5-2!

Bent for us, Bale and Defoe to score for Spuds.
Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: andyh on October 03, 2012, 08:45:08 AM: Have a horrible feeling we'll get battered.
I think we'll give it a right go, but their quality will come through, and although we'll be 'plucky' and 'determined' we will still be miles behind the big boys.

4-1 Spurs.
Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: N'ZMAV on October 03, 2012, 08:56:53 AM: I don't think we've been very convincing at the back, and our narrow midfield will not work against Spurs. Lennon and Bale will hammer us down the flanks if we don't give Lowton and Bennett any protection.

I think I'd go with this team.

Guzan

Lowton
Vlaar
Clark
Bennett

Albrighton
KEA
Delph
Holman

Bent
Agbonlahor

Post by: Chico Hamilton III on October 03, 2012, 09:35:27 AM: We can't possibly play as badly as we did last year at White Hart Lane ( spineless, clueless, Heskey in left midfield...) . Although I think they'll beat us

Post by: Hookeysmith on October 03, 2012, 11:14:34 AM: PL went there last year and beat them - quite convincingly as well IIR

As Damon said - at the very least we know we go there looking to win and give them a game - cannot ask anymore

Just a quick question - what are the chances of buying a single ticket on the day - i am in London with Missus to see my US cousin - but if they want to go "shopping" then i could slip off ;)
Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Steve R on October 03, 2012, 11:36:17 AM: I hope we stiffen up the defence a bit and sacrifice a striker for the extra bod in midfield.

A midfield 4 caused us a bit of a problem against Albion and the extra 1 up front didn't add much, it is probably too big a risk against this lot.

I'd also persevere with Benteke up front, with Bent coming on as the game demands.

Guzo
Lowton Vlaar Baker Lichaj
Albrighton, KEA, Herd, Holman
Delph
Benteke

Spurs 2 (Defoe, Bent og)
Villa 6 (Vlaar, Benteke 2, KEA, Bent, Defoe og)

I've still got the 125th anniversay flags that Spurs put on everyone's seats that night. Still in their plastic covers, unused and never waved in anger

any offers?

What a game up until that point as well, singing Happy Birthday all through half time was hilarious. The showed continual replays of Robbo messing up for one of our goals as well didn't they?

Post by: Ryu on October 03, 2012, 04:17:15 PM: Surprised to see a few people plump for albrighton in ther teams. I like him as he works hard but IMO he's struggled for a long time now and I don't think he's good enough to start for us. I think we've looked best this season with lowton providing the width on the right. I think we'll go with a similar team to the newcastle and Swansea games but maybe Bennett and gabby coming in for lichaj and weimann/benteke.

Felt so pissed off and frustrated after that game after the high of 4-1 up it really hurt ...

I fear we will lose 3-1 this time as I think they will be too strong after Manure game will have fired them up

Post by: Matt Collins on October 03, 2012, 09:13:23 PM: On albrighton, I tend to agree. But with Ireland injured, I cant see past Holman for the 'in the hole position' an past albrighton on the right

If we played 4231 perhaps gabby and n'zogbia wide of Holman, but I don't think we will
Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: supertom on October 04, 2012, 06:01:11 AM: With the way we are right now, plus Spurs perhaps a little full of it after the Utd result, I fancy us to get a result here. I think we'll take the lead and they'll have to scrape out a result.

Of course if they're on it, then they'll tear us apart, but I just fancy us to have a good game, and Spurs to not quite be at the races.

1-1
Bent.

Unless we go with CNZ in the hole, as Lambert has done once or twice before. This would hopefully mean we keep some creativity in the middle combined with holman's energy on the right.

Post by: JJ-AV on October 04, 2012, 05:03:04 PM: Spurs playing a very strong team tonight -

Tottenham side to face Panathinaikos: Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Caulker, Vertonghen, Huddlestone, Dembele, Dempsey, Lennon, Bale, Defoe

That'll probably be 8 of the 11 against us.
Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: TopDeck113 on October 04, 2012, 05:07:22 PM: A defeat, I fear. However, put in another good performance and - as I've said before - it will be another 90 minutes experience in the rebuilding process.

2-0 to them

Post by: gervilla on October 04, 2012, 07:57:06 PM: I would normally put this one down as as a defeat for us but I think this season we could win a few of the ones that we would have surrendered meekly in last season.
So..... Spuds 1 Villa 2.
Defoe for them.
Gabby & Holman for us.

Post by: Matt Collins on October 04, 2012, 09:47:07 PM: Spurs are playing a very strong teak tonight. If we put in the sort of energetic display we saw at Newcastle or v Swansea I think we could get something

I think a 4231 could be suitable but that means no bent for me and I'd be really surprised if he did that.

I think n'zogbia in the hole might be a bit too adventurous for this one.

So I reckon bent for benteke the only change.

We'll be thraped.

We said that against Man City too.

I watched the last quarter of an hour of the first half of their match last night. They were streets ahead of the Greeks. I thought they'd run up a big score 2nd half so didn't bother with it. 1- 1 it finished.

Conclusion, like us they run hot and cold. The outcome of this one is very difficult to predict.

Post by: Aston Villa on October 05, 2012, 03:10:25 PM: It should be pointed out that Spuds formation isn't as effective at home as it is primarily a counter attacking formation. Their best performances of the season have all been away. Even against Newcastle I though they played well and were the better team. So we have a chance as long as we cut out the silly errors. I'm gonna go for a 1-1 draw.

Post by: garyshawsknee on October 05, 2012, 04:45:18 PM: I think we're gonna dig in,and get a 2-2 draw.

PL may show the first signs of changing things around,as i think a narrow diamond formation will leave our full backs exposed to Bale and Lennon,plus we need to try and pin their full backs,back towards their goal. So maybe a 4-3-3,Albrighton and Holman on the right,Gab and Delph on the left.

That was one of the most embarrassing tactical line-ups I have ever seen as a villa fan. It was the beginning of the end for TSM.

Post by: jeowje on October 06, 2012, 12:07:37 PM: Haven't seen Camp Lawro's prediction posted yet so thought I might oblige (apologies if already done!). I think we can guess what he thinks anyway(bovvered...)

Tottenham v Aston Villa
Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas can do no wrong at the moment but we have to temper the hype around him a little bit because Spurs got their backsides smacked in the last half-hour of their win at Old Trafford last weekend.

Manchester United made all sorts of chances, Tottenham retreated and United were unfortunate not to get one point and maybe even should have got all three.

Getting rid of their 23-year hoodoo at Old Trafford will give Spurs confidence but taking a strong team to Greece to play Panathinaikos in the Europa League on Thursday could count against them.

Villa striker Darren Bent knows he has to fight for his place

They have found their form in the Premier League and keeping it going should be their priority over a game where the result doesn't really matter because they can still get out of their group whatever happens. Why make things more difficult for yourself?

Aston Villa are having a bit of a quiet revolution under Paul Lambert and it is interesting to watch.

Lambert has not made a big deal out of his team selections, he has just said to the team 'play well and I am not bothered how old you are or how much Villa paid for you'.

Darren Bent, who was one of the casualties of that selection policy, proved a point when he came off the bench and scored his goal against West Brom on Sunday but, through Bent doing that, maybe Lambert has proved a point as well.

Villa are heading in the right direction but I cannot see them getting anything at White Hart Lane. Gareth Bale is in the sort of form where he can be unplayable and, even if some of their players are tired from their trip to Greece, Villas-Boas can change the direction of the game with the strength he has on his bench.

Prediction: 2-0
Title: Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Monty on October 06, 2012, 12:13:14 PM: Have to say, that's actually a fair prediction from Lawro. It's fair enough to think we'll lose at Spurs, and he's reported the Bent thing as favourably to Lambert as it should be.

I would like Gabby to play on whichever side of the pitch that Bale is. Holman is comfortable on either side too but I think Gabby has the pace to deal with Bale going forward and could course Spurzz problems going forward when we have possesion. This I feel is Spurzzz weakest area. Holman I would like to play narrow to almost make up a central 3, with our width on the left coming from Bennett who looks good going forwards. I think it will be a tough game, and we have to accept Spurzzz will get a lot of the ball so Delph needs to enure he isn't reckless in his challenges. My other change would be Lihaj, who I think has better postional sense than Lowton defensively. He'll also be a better threat in both penalty areas.

I'd be suprised to see Bent, Benteke and Agbonlahor all start as it would diminish our options from the bench. I think the only changes will be Bent for Agbonlahor and N'Zogbia for Albi.

For me he should go with 2 up front, and go for the win. Aside from beating Man Utd last week a few of my Spurs supporting mates reckon they have really struggled so far and are more than beatable today.

Attack is the best form of defence - spurs are good going forward but susceptible to conceding goals.

I think Holman could tuck in and add a bit of graft to our central midfield allowing Gabby to use his pace down the channels with Bent as our out and out striker. Albrighton played very well last week so he should start.

We'd have a strong bench with Benteke, Bannan, N'Zogbia to come on if it wasn't working out.

Norwich passed them off the park and the crowd were on their back from the first minute. It was only the arrival of Dembele at half-time that changed things and even then Norwich could have won it.

Keep Dembele quiet, pass through midfield and take our chances. We can do this, and I'll be in the upper tier to see it.

Post by: Clampy on October 07, 2012, 12:05:37 PM: Keeping Bale and Lennon quiet is important so it might be an idea to play with two wide men ourselves to push them back and have them do a bit more defending than normal. We don't want Lowton having too much of a torrid time against Bale.
