Spurs v Aston Villa match thread.

[SoccerHQ]

Let's get it over with then.

Gabby, Tish, Jedinak and Johnstone all start.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Subs:  Gollini, Elphick, Westwood, Cissokho, Green, Davis, McCormack

[aj2k77]

Fat ****** on his own up front shows how badly we need another striker this window.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on Villa.

[Toronto Villa]

That's not really a positive start to the match thread is it Soccer? Let's have a bit of confidence and optimism. It's 4-5-1 and we will play on the counter but we have to go into this thinking we can win. Or at least bring them back to VP. I'm looking forward to seeing how Tish does in his first start under Bruce.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Spurs:  Vorm, Trippier, Carter-Vickers, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davies, Dier (C), Winks, Sissoko, Son, Janssen.

Subs: Pau Lopez, Walker-Peters, Vertonghen, Wanyama, Dele, Onomah, Nkoudou

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Not a bad team that.

Not sure about Grealish and Gabby but 4 in a flat midfield should give us some protection. Hopefully.

[Chris Jameson]

No doubt when the useless fucker up front manages his seventh touch of the ball he'll put his finger to his mouth and then Cup his ears to the 'haters' and really silence his critics.

[Axl Rose]

Fat c*** on his own up front shows how badly we need another striker this window.

Disgraceful isn't it. Hopefully he'll get vertigo again and fuck off to Dubai with his shit cap and Shisha pipe.

Rest of the team seems ok. I would have liked us to go a bit more positive, two up front for example.. But come on, let's do these utter ******. Gargantuan ******!

Can't see the ball sticking up front for us. It's going to be all one way traffic. I just hope it's not too embarrassing.

[Dave]

Spurs:  Vorm, Trippier, Carter-Vickers, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davies, Dier (C), Winks, Sissoko, Son, Janssen.

The thought of Gabby has panicked Spurs into playing a back five with three centre backs as well as someone who's been playing centre back for the last few matches in front of them.

Unnecessarily defensive from them, one would think.

[Chris Harte]

Unknown quantity in goal, defence and midfield is pretty much as ever. Total pissflaps up front.

[clash city rocker]

Apart from flabby a decent team...shows our limited options up front

[Villafirst]

Spurs starting eleven looks beatable.

Spurs starting eleven looks beatable.

Its certaainly given me a little optimism.
