Aston Villa v Spurs (FAC4) Pre Match Thread

[Footy-Vill]

No need to be crude. This is a pre match forum. Doesn’t even belong in the dreams and superstitions thread
plus doesn’t even make sense!

Let’s make it clear Rashy is Rashford Hatty is Hat trick!

You are the person who predicted 6 goals, three from Rashford and then stated you had seen no signs to predict the other scorers. If you post trash like that, trash will be spewed back.

Yes. I upgraded up 3-1 victory to a 6-1 or 6-2 victory .
If Watkins wasn't injured I would have predicted a brace for him.
I'm enthused by the new signings , the way we attack and jow we could have scored at least 6 against Celtic in our last cup tie.

Having seen Liverpool 4-0 Spurs last night and they yet again concede aplenty and then have to play again on Sunday, with Villa having plenty of rest -and with Rashy keen to make a statement then that's my prediction and my prerogative.

Perfectly reasonable actually given the excitement of the cup and new signings.
To suggest trash is really your way of saying it's a view that you don't share. That's incorrect and unnecessary to be disparaging

It will be interesting to see the team Emery puts out. I'm still not convinced he will go with the strongest available team. He went strong against West Ham but may have felt obliged to as the club made a special occasion of it.

Ange has confirmed nobody injured will be back for Sunday so we don't have to worry about Maddison.

It's a trip to Aston Villa next for them on Sunday, with the FA Cup representing one of their two remaining trophy opportunities this season.

Postecoglou says he won't have any injured players back in time for that one.

Apart from Olsen instead of Emi, there isn't that many changes he could make to not go strong. Anyone else he might have played is either injured or loaned out.

We don’t have another game until next weekend so no obvious reason to rest players unless they’re injured.

100% agree with this - players prefer playing to training

Best 11 on the pitch based on merit. We need to be in the next round.

I also imagine that being spanked 8-1 across our last two matches against Spurs will probably mean Emery is keen to put that right a bit.

Must be a bit embarrassing to be out-coached by Postecoglou twice in a row while pretty much everyone else is just poking him with sticks and laughing.

The majority of clubs that enter the FA Cup don't have contracted players, if you don't cup-tie players you could have some that play for numerous clubs each year.

Well, only two, due to FIFA rules. Same as in the league. Seems fair enough to me.

[cdbearsfan]

Our front line on Sunday will be Rashford, Malen, Ascensio

I think you'll be one third correct.

[PeterWithesShin]

That's pro players. Some players move more than that in non league. Somewhat infamously this fella as an example

[cdbearsfan]

Even so, I can't really see a problem. Deadlines would make more sense than cup-tied rules if you were worried about teams just bringing in a player for one big game.

[Sexual Ealing]

And I am worried about that. I'm terrified.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Non of Spurs injured players will return for Sunday. We should be smashing these jokers.

The 5th round draw will be on Monday. No having to look at your phones coming out the ground on Sunday. (Assuming we are through)
