Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Match Thread

Never mind Hutton in midfield, we've got Halsey in the middle!

[Chipsticks]

No Albrighton on the bench?

If this comes off I will piss myself.

Harry thinks we'll play 5-3-2.

I hope it's like England Spain, they dominte the possesion but we score from a set piece and keep a clean sheet.

[Witton Warrior]

I think it could work. If Bale proves a handful we double up on him, if we are making progress forward Hutton can provide width and be extremely dangerous.

We used to complain when people doubled up on Ashley Young, worked against him for a season...

Clutching at straws really - can we lull Spuds into a trance with our slo-mo passing and movement maybe?

1 - 0 to the Villa!

I don't think we'll be chanting: 'You should have stayed in Sandbanks' to Harry tonight.

I hope he's right! Makes more sense than Hutton as wide midfielder...

[Yossarian]

What are the odds on Hutton getting a red card tonight?

From the BBC

1931: Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish confirms that Alan Hutton will start on the right wing in front of Carlos Cuellar to protect his side from Gareth Bale.

This could be the mark of a tactical genius that a lot of people thin Eck is or a total disaster however it is brave.

[Compass]

Looks like our good manager is desperate for a 0-0.

I think it was spurs who sang Boring boring villa last season

[CJ]

Was going to go down the pub to watch this but seeing that line up I think I'll save my money. Any time now I'll be asking for a decent stream

532 will not work against them. They mainly attack on the ground in the channels and wide cutting in so 451 will be more effective however I am not Harry or Tom or Dick!
