Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[melih69]

Would love to know when AVB thinks Lamela is ready to start his first pl game..

How is he going to get an understanding with the others if he doesn't play

 

[TheAmerican]

Are Gylfi and Andre secret lovers?

Surely drop Siggy and keep Eriksen out on the left or put Lamela in.

It's fucking baffling.

I'm happy that Naughton isn't playing though.

I think we'll miss Dembele, brave decision.

Agreed. I would have liked to have seen more than 1 playmaker in the side.

 

[yojambo]

Our only defender on the bench is Kyle Naughton.

 

[mpickard2087]

Did not expect some of those selections. Interesting.

 

[almighty_spursboy]

That team news is great. Also having erikson on the bench to put more pressure on in the second half.

Yid army

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Our subs at Villa - Friedel, Naughton, Dembele, Eriksen, Lamela, Lennon, Defoe. #THFC

Them attacking options, wow.

Shame no Ade?

Still should of started Lamela or Eriksen but hey ho.

 

[CowInAComa]

well it seems everyone has their wish and AvB has been reading these forums.

Chiriches, Holtby and Sandro, and Soldado back in.

You fuckers better be right.

 

[teok]

So verts at LB?

 

[ajspurs]

That fucking bench. Jesus christ. Nice to see AVB utilising the squad. I'm pleased Holtby is starting over Eriksen if I'm honest and Soldado could have some fun today if he supplies him as well as he does Defoe.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Agreed. I would have liked to have seen more than 1 playmaker in the side.

My onion is Lamela will get his first start against Hull next weekend.

One of the weakest sides we will have come to WHL this season.

 

[James_THFC]

Paulinho to play further forward with Sandro as the DM. Pretty excited to see this.

Look at that bench! Lennon, Defoe, Eriksen and Lamela. Great options.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Change, thank God.

Would put Lamela or Eriksen for Siggy though
Holtby has rested for ages and in top form so maybe correct decision- these are the benefits of having a massive squad

On the one hand yes. But on the other hand maybe its a case of not overdoing the wholesale changes. He has shaken the first team up a fair amount

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

I was saying yesterday Eriksen has been a bit anonymous and Holtby has been performing very well, it's nice to see Andre implement that change.

However, I still feel as TheAmerican said, we should go for two playmakers in the XI.

That could be the case against Hull me thinks @ Home.

 

[PhilosoSPUR]

So verts at LB?

Must be, since I think Cheerychess only plays CB or RB.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

One of the weakest sides we will have come to WHL this season.

We will still make incredibly hard work out of it though...

 

[Francis Gibbs]

No Eriksen Wtf ..... why is Sig is getting picked ahead of Lamela ffs

with Verts out of position as well I don't have a good feeling at all

 

[nightgoat]

Glad to see Sandro and Holtby starting, and Soldado back in the team.

 

[alex3]

don't get why sigg is playing again lamela must be finding it hard and obviously not doing well in training everyone is getting a chance and he isn't 30mln player we are talking bout now

 

[chris_theo]

Honestly lads I ain't got a bloody clue what team I would start today, changed my mind a million times. All I know is I'm desperate for a big win and a great performance!
