Don’t mind the line up personally, we have to use the squad. The starters from the last two games have been pretty poor.

Oof. I understand the need for rotation but I really want us to win this.

That said, looking at the Spurs line up, we really should be winning this anyway.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Spurs Match Thread

McGinn gives us our intensity.  Without that we are not great. 
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Spurs Match Thread
Post by: Toronto Villa on May 03, 2026, 06:05:13 PM
Let’s hope it’s one of those no point having him involved injuries for SJM and he’ll be fine for Thursday versus he’s done for the season type. And Bogarde starting again does nothing for me at all.

It's still a strong starting XI, and a very strong bench. If our attitude is right we'll beat these.

That’s just it though.  Putting a weaker side out sets the bloody tone. 

Ah fuck it.  I’ll stop posting until after the game because Unai has earned our trust and I’m probably depressing everyone!

A nation's ire will descend upon Villa Park for "allowing" Spurs to win. We'll have to wait till the Burnley game for the win we need then...

I hope I'm wrong!

Have to say, that is such a ballsy move from Emery and I massively respect it. We have play in the league with Burnley to come. We have zero play in Europe. I like it. Hope it works.

This is totally on Unai with that shit team selection.

I have to say you are totally correct, logged on tonight looked at the line up and the first thing that came into my head was this is a team formed to lose.

Unai does understand the 7 players rested from the tonking v Forest will carry that mentality into the 2nd leg, in spite of having to win this those players needed a win this to take that confidence and form into the 2nd leg.

Our end of season form has been fucking shocking. We’ve shit the bed in the Conference League when every poxy English side won it. Last year we blew two massive games in the FA Cup and final league game. This year our season is going to shit. Again. Fucking tired of it.

The fact that we are so passive is because that’s how the manager has sent us out. How he has poured through all the videos of our games and their games and thought knocking between our CBs for 45 minutes should do it. And then the players go out and execute the shit game plan to perfection.

Tielemans and Rogers seem pissed off they were asked to tog out. Tactically RDZ has owned Emery by flooding the middle against our two and letting Mings have the ball. We look the slowest team in the division - Tielemans, Sancho, Barkley, Tammy.

Get next goal and we can make a game of it. But means at least three subs at half time to get some energy into the team. I'd probably go Torres for Mings, Luiz for Bogarde, Ollie for Tammy and Buendia for Sancho.

Or we're going to fucking limp towards the end of the season still needing something from the Liverpool game and the City game. The message should have been go all out to get CL football then take a free hit vs Forest. Fucking inexplicable what's gone on here today.

On 5live today they had the usual morons talking about a club about which they neither know anything nor give a shit about, but one made a salient point - despite our position, and despite being in the EL semi, the bad has probably outweighed the good in terms of performance this season.

We are being played off the park at home by a team who deserve to be relegated.

There is no point blaming individual players.. The manager chose this line up .

Emery has fucked up with the line up. That's clearly beyond debate.

However, you certainly can criticise players for putting zero effort in
You can if you want to let him off the hook.Mings, after not playing for weeks Sancho after offering nothing game after game Barkley gone at this level he chose them all in one of the most important games of the season.

These are the consequences, as far as I can see no over reaction going on here whatsoever, Burnley will look at this and fancy giving us an ass kicking for fun, but more importantly Forest will be studying the hell out of this, they will fancy the 2nd leg with no fear and great confidence, they will want this.

Lets wait for a sparkling 2nd half.

Abraham is a goalscoring centreforward who can't run.

Neither could Watkins earlier this season, at least he had an excuse. But to be fair to Tammy, he is there for our brilliant wingers to speed down and cross into the 6 yard box to, not to play as a running at goal striker.

Barkley, Sancho, Mings, Bogarde - aren't PL quality. This version of Tielemans and Rogers are dreadful too, Emery "sons".

How did Barclay stay on the pitch until the 83rd minute. He's been off the pace all night. Why did we sign Luis on loan and still he can't get ahead of Bogarde!

Why the fuck did we bring Luiz back.

Because he once managed six decent months for us.

Really? It's still a level beyond what Barkley has achieved in his career. Sancho is a fraud too. 2 guys who pissed away their careers, stealing a living.

Barkely should have been mainstay for England prior to Bellingham and Sancho could have been better than Saka. Nowhere near.

Not sure why those two wankers being shit has anything to do with Luiz.

Luiz was decent for us for six months give or take. The rest of the time he was the Forest version.

There's reasonable odds given our percent performances and the opposition we have left that we don't make the final, and don't extend the gap enough to secure CL football. What an absolute fuck up.

He was in his hole. Was our best midfielder the season we got CL football too, carried this version of Tielemans who couldn't run for months.

Unlike Luiz who was an amazing success at Juve and Forest and can't even get on in tonight's farce.

If this had been away, I would have been slightly less peeved. Instead we have told Forest that a full Villa Park in front of the lights and cameras is piss easy to come and get a result at so don't be scared. And told the home fans we are not worthy to support.

Absolutely. We'll be fucking around in the bargain bin trying to find a gem amongst turds, while them and Chelsea will be back in the hunt for the automatic CL spots. The window against team against teams who can spend almost as they want closes fast when we cannot win things as the opportunity arises. Palace for example in almost the same time as Emery have sold loads of good players, yet likely come away with three trophies. They might win anything against post Glasner for 50 years but they did it in their window. Ours might be passing us by again.

If Unai has signed off the players that we have bought in the past few summers then maybe he should go and we start again.
