Match Threads Spurs vs Villa

[YiddoInPoland]

Looking at that table

Everyone's talking as though we won against Villa at WHL last season. I must have been experiencing some fever dream when I saw us lose then

We did lose, but where on top most of the game, it was a bit like west ham at home last season too

 

[Bobbins]

If Villa set up against us as they usually do, it’ll be a mad open game which we have a good chance of edging with the home advantage.

If they’ve learnt their lesson from last season and sit back and hit us on the counter, it could be pretty painful for us. Watkins and Dhuran are deadly on the break and we won’t have VDV.

Going to be a lot of action today - IMO, we will see lot of corners, lot of goals and lot of cards.

2-2 or 3-2 Spurs my prediction

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

45+ years of supporting Spurs, you rarely feel confident on match day. So difficult to predict which Tottenham will turn up. Villa are no mugs under Emery.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Don’t know about Son, but his shirt has turned up at the stadium

 

[Mattspur]

If we win this game and get within touching distance of the top 6, we’ll definitely lose at home against Ipswich.

 

[Rob]

Don’t know about Son, but his shirt has turned up at the stadium

He walked the pitch with the rest of the team so assume he plays. Romero there too.

Still no Spence :/

 

[karennina]

Seeing how much better Son played after a little rest last time, maybe his best will be too much for Villa today

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Learned a few lessons in midfield

 

[goughie1966]

Madders dropped then

 

[philll]

Still no Spence :/

Bit weird because I thought Ange said he was "ready" to play against City in some capacity but didn't even make the bench then either.

 

[cjbyid]

Good team.

Bit more of a bite in midfield.

 

[goughie1966]

Strong bench too - as long as we don't get an injury at LB

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Deserved start for Sarr.

Tough days for Madders - but he is still a captain, and we need him firing at his best.

 

[Mate]

I think that's our most balanced midfield and the one I wanted to see

 

[Johnny J]

Strong bench too - as long as we don't get an injury at LB

That's true for the entire season.

 

[neogenisis]

Maddison is fighting for his future methinks.

 

[rossdapep]

I think the constant midfield changes tell you that we are still very much in a process.

I don't believe we have the right blend for Ange yet.

All of Maddison, Sarr, Bentancur and Bissouma have had poor spells and not kept up with the demands.

Until we get the right blend or players that play that role perfectly, we are going to have off days.

Hopefully this blend today shows signs of doing that
