Team for Villa...

[Mr Pink]

I'd snap your hands off for a 1 nil win. City and Leicester have dropped points to villa this season. Can't be complacent, we need to play at a good tempo.

That's true and we definitely don't want to show any signs of complacency, but I think their confidence and hopes have been dented a lot more since they played those two at Villa Park.

Yeah I'd agree with that. If we set sbout the game in the right way I'd expect us to create enough to win. Their fans seem to have given up as well which will help.

How many games does Dier have to negotiate to avoid the 2 match ban? might not be worth chancing our arm with him in this one?

Yep I'd give him a total rest at mo as will be so important end of season. Have Alli and Dembele Play vs Villa

2nd Sunday in April is the amnesty date.

Go with a strong side and go for the jugular and get some confidence back into the side. It's been a tough week and this game has come at a perfect time for us.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

If Dier was out I'd personally go:

Lloris
Walker Toby Wimmer Rose
Dembele Alli
Son Lamela Eriksen
Kane

​

Reckon we could blow them away with that team

Pochettino: "We will see. It was a problem with his ankle, but we will see." #THFC

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Allowing for injuries (Dier/Rose) and the fact that Walker will almost certainly start this game and sticking the the Poch 4231 so @THFCSPURS19 doesn't report me to the team for unorthodox formation police :

Lloris

Walker Alderweireld Wimmer Davies

Mason Dembele

Lamela Alli Eriksen

Kane​

 

[YiddoTom90]

If we lose this even with resting players midweek, it would be damning. The worst side in the prem, anything but a win will be a huge worry

 

[arunspurs]

If Alli is fit, I will play him in the CM....

My XI

Lloris
Walker, Toby, Wimmer, Davies
Dembele, Alli,
Lamela, Eriksen, Son,
Kane

I could certainly see the first team coming out and shitting the bed here, tbh

 

[dynamoSpurs]

Son shouldn't even warm the bench.

What's dier's booking situation?

 

[chrissivad]

What's dier's booking situation?

he is 1 booking away from a 2 game suspension.
If he can avoid getting booked in games against Villa, Bournemouth, Liverpool and ManU then he would only get a suspension for 15 yellow cards

 

[Wellspurs]

What's dier's booking situation?

He's on 9 bookings so one away from a 2 match ban, Villa and bournemouth next then Liverpool to get through!

He will be okay if he gets to Liverpool game as the cut off is 2/4 the day we play liverpool not sure if it's inclusive of that date?

Thought it was the second Sunday in April, and that would include the Man U game

I would look to play the same team who played against Dortmund. They need to redeem themselves after that shockingly bad display.
