Tottenham vs Aston Villa Post-match thread

[john2710]

Remi's team selection for Sunday is going to  be interesting.

I don't believe Kevin Mc sabotaged last night's team but there were some very strange decisions made in that starting 11 & in the team vs Southampton.

Those calling for Okore to play need to remember he's had little or no game time since last May & Traore is nowhere near a starter.

We are carrying too many players & too many look fucked after 60 minutes.

The season starts again on Sunday & again the week after. We need to get a few results before Xmas & hope we can get player's in Jan to make a difference.

It's not beyond hope,  yet!

Perhaps the saddest part about last night and an indication of the mindset is that with a new manager watching from the stands it was an opportunity to show him what they are capable of and show they are prepared to bust a gut for Aston Villa.

With the exception of the players who weren't in the starting eleven, they all pretty much failed. On the plus side we have several players who for whatever bizarre reasons weren't selected to start last night are surely going to improve the side now we know how much playing for Aston Villa means to the likes of Lescott, Guzan, Bacuna, Richardson and our waste of space club captain.

If Okore needs minutes and everyone knows he needs minutes why wasn't he given minutes against Southampton midweek? Macdonald, just another Aston Villa thicko.

            Guzan
Hutton Okore Richards Amavi
Bacuna Gana Veretout Gil
        Sinclair  Ayew

Two up top with two wide players who can cross the ball and  two ball midfielders who can defend.
Amavi can overlap too so when Gil cuts inside amavi gets forward.
Grealish can come on for Gil or play with him replacing Bacuna gana or veretout if one of middle two
Bacuna can go play in middle if grealish or  an impact sub comes on . traroe can play on left or right.

Garde seems a 442 man but the alternate is playing with Rudy

           Guzan
Bacuna Richards okore amavi
 Veretout Gana Sanchez
Sinclair Gestede Ayew

Footyskillz, the much maligned poster, coming on here, talking more sense than anyone picking the Villa team this season.

Probably remembered his performance against Southampton last season.

Shame he didn't remember every Agbonlahor ''performance'' for the last 4 years as well.

I like your name.

Let me edit my joke.

When I tuned into sky sports one at 8pm after a few minutes I wasn't sure if I thought I was watching the Muppet show on sky one .

Guzan

Bacuna Gana Veretout Gil
        Sinclair  Ayew

           Guzan
Bacuna Richards okore amavi
 Veretout Gana Sanchez
Sinclair Gestede Ayew

I'd go
              Guzan
Hutton   Richards   Okore  Amavi
              Gana    Sanchez
Bacuna                              Sinclair
                     Gil
                    Ayew


Veretout, Grealish, Gestede told that there's a place in the starting line up if they prove themselves coming off the bench.

Maybe kev was trying to show Remi the good and bad, by bringing on the better players later on? Clutching at straws??

Yep. The most charitable reading of MacDonald's bizarre team selection is that he was giving various 'good eggs' and long term squad members a chance to impress their new boss in preference to the nasty fancy foreign players. And what did they do? Played shit, almost to a man.

We need the kind of upturn in form footyskillz has shown to translate to the team.
