Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa

I hope so.

Given Toby Alderweireld is ill, I think that the back line is the best available and Tanganga's overdue a run in the side..

A central 3 of Lo Celso, Hojbjerg and Ndombele is genuinely exciting and might make us a bit more resilient. We don't have the players for a two man pivot and just get overrun continually.

Kane/Vinicius/Lucas is the only gamble but...why not? Sonny's injured, Lamela suspended, Bergwijn's form's collapsed and we can always bring Bale on in the second half. Dele's not worthy of a place right noww.

Will it work...? Maybe...maybe not?...but it can't be any worse than the last 2 shockers.

COYS!

 

Not even sure we have a best XI anyway. Most senior players have let us down this season.

Rodon will only make as many mistakes as Dier or Alderweireld. Tanganga will only make as many mistakes as Doherty or Aurier. The difference with these guys is that they have years to improve and grow if given a run. Devine and Scarlett on the bench is also big yes from me, would be great if they can get on.

Personally I don’t see this selection as a risk because we’ve gone “safe” for most of the season and it’s hardly worked out. Knowing that Winks and Doherty can’t even get on the pitch today is enough to celebrate with a can or two.

You are so right.... Enjoy.

 

You never win anything with kids.

 

Lo Celso, Hojbjerg and Ndombele behind Bale, Kane and Son while winning every game 6-4 was my dream for this season. Doubt we'll ever see that exact combination but one can hope.

 

Have we heard this before somewhere, I wonder ?.

 

We don’t win anything full stop

 

Wayne Burnett certainly doesn't...

 

So now we have an excuse

 

Anyone worked out what formation we're playing, yet?

 

It's called Desperate

 

Nope, lol.

I’m guessing 433, Vini right and Lucas left with Kane central.

Could also be 442 with Lo Celso on one of the wings.

 

Could also be a 3 at the back with Reguilon at left wing back.

 

Who are you asking? Us or the players? Or the management team?

 

Both the Premier League and BBC say 442, with Lo Celso on the left wing

Pretty sure that has to be complete sloblock

 

I was thinking that he might be on the right and Moura on the left.

 

Good to see Lo Calso get a start now. He (alone?) looked sharp on Thursday. He might just spark something tonight.

 

Google's got it as 442 with Gio on the right and Lucas on the left

At first I thought 433 with a midfield three of Hojbjerg, Ndombele and Gio, but Vini's never played as a winger

 

Two minutes in and Tanguy's already having lumps kicked out of him...

 

Nice move. Excellent defending by Konsa.
