Aston Villa v Tottenham Match Thread

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Wow. Lineker, Ardilles, Gazza, Greaves, Gilzean, even Blanchflower.... all missing. The Tottenham injury crisis massively under reported by the media.
With us at complete full strength and the ref on our side not sending Cash off we may just be able to scrape a lucky draw to stall their charge for their rightful place at the top table of the Champions League.

Five at the back? Unai's shat the bed!

[Brazilian Villain]

And predictably sky dive straight inti the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' citeh game. Some things never change.

Or, 'We are special, it means more to us' v 'Our lawyers are too good to allow a guilty verdict', as the rest of us call it.

[PaulWinch again]

I haven’t seen Cash in midfield work at all, so hopefully this is the day it turns round.

[Axl Rose]

Don't like that team

But Unai knows what he's doing I suppose.

Come on Villa.

Fuck these wanky goal celebration fuck twats

What Axl said in that last line....bravo! 2 1 to us.

Yeah, every time we try it the only way we get something from the game is when Unai rectifies his mistake.

Ugh, getting horrible flash-forwards to Son's stupid grinning face, hope it's just nerves...

[AV84]

I like that lineup. Kamara is the only one I'd want to see instead, but obviously not possible.

[pelty]

Why so defensive? Like everyone has been saying, we have seen this show it has never been very good.

[Demitri_C]

Not cash in midfield agai. It failed last time. Dont know why we are doing this again. Its like we are going to be inviting pressure from the start of the game

[jwarry]

Pity Ramsey didn’t make it

[KevinGage]

Assume it will be back four with Cash further forward.

[Richard]

Emery trying something different I suspect, Torres stepping onto darts wan*er as lots flows through him.

[brontebilly]

Didn't we try this at WHL in 1st half

Yes...and it was awful. Konsa is appalling at RB too. With Ramsey out we have a real problem on our left side, no other player has impressed there, but that team selection is a mess.

I'd have preferred to go the whole hog with wing backs but that means playing Moreno instead of Digne. That's why I think it's going to be a 4 with Cash pushed on and Tielemans on left.

[PhilVill]

3 at the back in possession / 5 when out of it, by the looks of it.  I’m glad Cash is playing.

I think its this and if so, I think its prudent. A draw suits us fine presently. We're  the ones they need to catch. If it goes tits up I reckon there is a plan B.
