Good, we should be front footed against these and he is best placed to pick passes.

Decent line-up; a little narrow / lacking a little width.
Spuds are playing a very conservative side; keeping their bigger players on the bench.

I hope we go at them from the off though I won't be shocked if we try to bore them to death for the first 45 minutes.

I assume the 11 they started at home to Bodo in the semi was their strongest 11, none of those start tonight.

It's about as weak a team as they have probably got, without sticking a load of kids in there.  No excuses tonight for Villa.  Get the job done, no feeling sorry for the opposition or at home to Mr Fuck Up.   Fuck em off, get into them.  No benevolence at all.

Either we pull Cash or bring Bailey on giving us width and drop Cash right the way back, so avoiding him constantly being done by Son, for me we need width, bring Bailey on.

We’ve had a few moments, pretty much from brilliance from Asensio. But we’re playing exactly how Spurs would have wanted us too - slow build up allows them to organise and we’ve got no width really. Need to be much more purposeful- Kamara is having a really poor game.

Asensio been class. Feels we just need to up the tempo on the left. Maatsen gives us options in the final third that Digne can't quite but we're just too slow to feed the ball through to him.

It is nervy but hopefully we'll score around the hour mark and then settle down. Bit worried if this stays 0-0 going into the last fifteen as they have more quality on the bench to change things than we do.

Onana been ok but Kamara looks out of sorts.

overplayed at times too.

I think we'll get away with it tonight.

However dreading playing Man. United like this. That's why we have such a poor record v them, when we play at a slow tempo we just give the opposition so much time to regroup behind the ball and then when a move breaks down they can just ping a quick ball over the top. Luckily Son isn't the same force he was there years ago.

Rogers off for Bailey or Malen for me. Not because I don't rate him but him and Asensio don't work that well.

I'm not sure if it's because they don't work together or if Rogers is just out on his feet. Him and Kamara look off the pace, you can see how fatigued they are by the amount of lazy touches when they're usually so tidy with the ball.

Onana, McGinn and Asensio have been very good. Someone said that we've almost played really well and that sums it up for me, we've been 1 touch or pass from opening them up a bunch of times.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Spurs Match Thread
Post by: Nelly on May 16, 2025, 08:24:44 PM
I'm surprised so many think we've been poor - I thought it was near total control from us, barring maybe three counters? We've gotten around them on the left multiple times and were camped on their box at times. We do play slowly and deliberately, but that's not always us being shite lol

Post by: SoccerHQ on May 16, 2025, 08:26:45 PM
Does it just totally go against Unai's thinking to go Malen right, Rogers left and Asensio central?

I'm sure when Rogers first came in last season he took over Ramsey's place on the left when he got his season ending injury at Luton.

Bailey was starting most weeks so we need to sort the right side out over the summer rather than just playing stop gaps there.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Spurs Match Thread
Post by: eamonn on May 16, 2025, 08:26:57 PM
I'd be tempted to bring Leon on for McGinn if we're still looking for a goal with half an hour left. Also, Disasi for Cash who will not keep getting away with one v one's with Son. I'd move Konsa across to RB though, Disasi there would be worse than Cash on a yellow.
