Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa - Pre match thread

[silhillvilla]

Kozak of course. He's 6'3, he's bound to be great in goal.

Hello . Talk about posting for effect .
Gestede 6'5" = keeper . Duh

[Sexual Ealing]

5-2 for us, come on the Villa boys

With an Alan Wright screamer!

Ooh yeah!

What a hit that is

That really was a horrible kit.

[VinnieChase84]

He only scored a few but they all seemed to be screamers.

Remember his away at Boro in the mid ish 90's was s screamer too

[FatSam]

Delaney was also another quality player I miss.

Just thought the same watching that clip. It was a position we didn't have to think about when he was on the scene. When you think about all the problems we've had with full backs since, it's depressing. I was at this Spurs game, as well as the Fulham game when Bocanegra scythed him down.

[Villa in Denmark]

Night game on New Year's day. The only time I went to a game with my old man.

"Who needs Juninho when we've got Alan Wright."

[Deano's Mullet]

Defeat once again.

I watched that in the King Edward on Lichfield Road with my dad. My abiding memory other than the two great goals was with about 20/30 minutes to go and Villa in total control, a Nose yelling "Come on Boro, stop toying with them!" at the TV.

Defeat. Death by Kane.

3-1

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Victory. At long last. Victory.

Promisingly, KMac has said that he got the tactics 'wrong' against Southampton - meaning, presumably, the rigid 4-4-2 with its accompanying lumped-in crosses to the Big Bloke. He changed it during the match as well, so let's hope we see something different against Spurs. Anyway, the 4-4-2 wasn't that bad when we were just sitting in - it was when the midfielders tiptoed forward that the great chasm yawned open between them and the defence, leading to the embarrassing first goal.

[Mossie Hennebry]

He will probably do something like:

Guzan
Hutton Crespo Clark Richardson
Sanchez
Agbonlahor Westwood Grealish Sinclair 
Ayew

[peter w]

Well we won't win. And I have no idea what combination I'd play other than I'd start Ayew and Grealish and not have Gil in the squad. I'd bring back N'Zogbia and Kozak into the squad. I'd like to see Okore and/or Clark back too.

[Mossie Hennebry]

I've done Triple Captain on Kane this week. Confidence is at an all-time low with me.

[in exile]

Oh bugger, I clicked the wrong box

What a hit that is

That really was a horrible kit.

A week or so before the FA Cup Final, we were truly abysmal the first 45 minutes, 2-0 down to 2 Chris 'Pot Head' Armstrong goals if my memory serves me right.
