Aston Villa v Tottenham Match Thread

What was it Einstein said about the definition of madness?

2 strikers might be ok against 3 CBs...Their right wing back is one of the worst footballers in the league, should be looking to exploit him at every opportunity.

It's the little things that sometimes annoy me, but why have Sky just shown the Tottenham side first?  WE are the home side, not them feckers. Sycophantic shithouses.

Sanson only gets one chance to show what he can do?
Fucking horseshit

I thought the same.

[Villa Lew]

Gotta admit their front 3 scare me, but it is good to see Marv back on the bench.

[dorsetvillian]

How Gerrard can play that midfield yet again is beyond me. What message does that send out to those on the bench. It's piss poor from the whole coaching team. He talked about being ruthless and it just seems to be the same old players week in, week out. Sanson must be pissed off being dropped. Assume he will definately be moved on in the Summer. I hope I'm wrong but this could be a long afternoon.

[Goldie.7]

I'd have never guessed that line up.

Lolz.

Gerrard is giving insanity a new life. Watkins and Ings when has that  worked this season? And he keeps picking McGinn based on reputation alone. The front 3 shoud be Buendia, Coutinho and Watkins.

Moans about players giving the ball away in midfield all the time then plays the three we’ve seen not work fuck knows how many times already.

[ez]

As the home team it would be nice if we played the game on the front foot. It would also be nice if the game is not over if we go behind early.

[pauliewalnuts]

Yet another chance to see Luiz ambling about not breaking sweat and giving the ball away constantly.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

 I'm expecting nothing: I find it's better that way! Agree with Villa Lew that it's nice to have Nakamba back, though.

[Rigadon]

Yet another chance to see Luiz ambling about not breaking sweat and giving the ball away constantly.

But to be fair, he change the game in a positive way v Wolves when replacing Sanson.

I'd prefer Ings rather than Watkins. Better technique to work with two gifted 10s.
