Quote from: mattjpa on April 11, 2015, 06:37:49 PMOk so a few points...1. People should get off sanchezs back. He was ok today, not great but ok. He may well have saved the three points with that foul and shaped the future of the club by keeping us up.2. Richardson was clearly struggling against qpr and got his ass handed to him. He stood up and was counted today, so fair play.3. Joe Cole still has something to offer. When he gets on he always seems to pick the right pass or hold on to the ball and win a free kick. He should probably be here next season, grealish will learn a lot from him.4. I have criticised cleverley previously but sherwood has unlocked the potential in him. Sign him up now.I'd also add:5- Guzan is number one. There's been some question to his place at the moment. Granted his form has dipped in recent games, but he was back to his best today. That catch right at the end was vintage Guzan and something he does very well, which Given isn't perhaps great at. It just took that last surge of pressure off us.

Tim Sherwood spoke of the "overwhelming joy" he felt as Villa saw off his old club Tottenham 1-0 at White Hart Lane.Sherwood admitted the victory was "sweet" due to the fact it was his first return to Spurs since departing at the end of the previous campaign.But the claret and blue boss was far more interested in the vital three point haul that put Villa "within touching distance" of safety in the Barclays Premier League.He said: "The emotion is overwhelming joy for the football club."To come to a tough place like White Hart Lane against a team who have a great record here and are going well in the division and pick up three points is magnificent."I thought we deserved it. I wouldn't care if we didn't deserve it as long as we got them."We carried on from the game against QPR in midweek."I thought we played excellently that night but we didn't get what we deserved."We came here and thought we could have a go at Tottenham. That's what we did. I think we deserved to win."There was heart and desire. I won't take anything less. They know that."To be honest, they have performed like that since I have been at the football club."We haven't got what we have deserved in some football matches but today we did."Villa are now 15th in the top-flight table with 32 points and Sherwood is quietly confident his team can win the survival race.He continued: "We have some tough games coming up. But we are in touching distance."There's still a lot of hard work to be done but we fancy our chances to stay in this division."Carlos Sanchez - red carded this afternoon - will now miss the semi-final of the FA Cup next Sunday and Sherwood said he will assess several other players in the coming days.Ciaran Clark hobbled off early on and Gabby Agbonlahor was withdrawn in the second half.He added: "Carlos knows that if he gets sent off he misses the semi-final."He has probably never played at Wembley before."But he sacrificed himself for the club. I want characters like that."On the injuries, he joked: "I am going to get Petrov and Cowans warmed up because they might have parts to play."

But it's not an excuse. You play to the whistle. It's exactly the sort of challenge Sanchez keeps on trying to make. Sometimes he's a day late and the players well past him. But if he does catch them it's probably going to be a yellow. Sadly it was his second of the game. How many more posts are you going to make in this thread about Sanchez. I think you have made your point.One post for every misplaced pass and heart palpitation. I think I'm done now. Thank McGrath Spuds didn't score after he got sent off or heaven knows what you would be saying Probably nothing. I don't think I'd have survived mate. ha ha.

We're definitely light in midfield - could be a chance to try a back 3 with Okore, Vlaar and Baker. I fancy Bacuna and Richardson to be more effective as wing backs than they are as full backs.
One thing is for sure we won't lose at Wembley for a lack of trying to win. In fact that kind of attitude is more likely to get us the result we want.
I like the idea of Grealish having some space at Wembley to at the Liverpool defence. Crying shame though that Gabby will likely miss out.
