Tottenham vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Missed opportunity, if we are going to drop Elmo why change the system or play people out of position when Kesler could get a chance? Unless he's injured.

Fingers crossed we get 20 mins of Chukwuemeka at least.

Kesler looks great going forward but chucking him in for his debut against Son is a big ask.

[WarszaVillan]

He hasn't even

Kesler looks great going forward but chucking him in for his debut against Son is a big ask.

And he hasn't even been on the bench recently, so they obviously don't think he's ready.

Great to see Jack starting, I expect it's unlikely he will play the 90, but if he plays 70 odd mins, that'll be good.

There may be a plan to brinh Chuk on for him at 70ish?  Smith certainly hinted at it.

I take your point but he was man of the match against Liverpool I think. He should at least be on the bench instead of Elmo.

4-2 -1 -3

Sounds like a GAA score

Hopefully with either of the Dublin or Kerry football teams getting the 1-3 !!

3 at the back with Traore wingback?

Not serious, but however they line up I can see Hojbjerg and Alli having a field-day through our soft centre.

4 4 1 1?

Come on Villa.

Was it Ryan Mason who crocked Benteke at VP?

I think he got him sent off.

Got him sent off. Pushed Benteke and was shouting in his face and Benteke pushed him back in the face (and Mason acted like he'd taken one from Tyson).
