Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[prawnsandwich]

Why are you classifying me as myopic?

Can't you see?

 

[Syn_13]

Line up's not bad. I see Poch still couldn't bring himself to drop Adebayor, but hopefully we'll see him and Soldado hit it off together like they did under Tim when he first brought Ade back. I'm guessing Soldado will be dropping deeper and it'll still be more of a 4-2-3-1 than a 4-4-2. Disappointed not to see Lamela or Kane given the nod, but I guess there's only so many we can squeeze into that starting XI.

 

[Blake Griffin]

Chadli right.

Eriksen left.

Mason in a midfield 2.

Ade CM.

Take your pick.

eriksen left where his best form has been from.

mason is a cm, what do you expect?

ade's not playing cm.

 

[cookiemonster]

Fuck off Poch

Kaboul and Adebayor playing again, the muppet deserves every bit of stick he gets

Adebayor I don't mind so much

But that calamitous clown yet again

 

[sandrosmydad]

I would have preferred Andros rather than Chadli. But he is a sub.
I am not afraid-I am excited.

Optimism in adversity. I like that.

 

[idontgetit]

Don't know why Kane and Lamela aren't starting but at least the two forwards should be getting a lot of service with Eriksen, Mason and Capoue feeding balls through

 

[Kendall]

People should be themselves and not worry what other people think of them. So, actually, it is

You've been educated poorly then. Self awareness is an admirable trait.

 

[nedley]

I wonder at what point a poster will start the call of Poch's head?

Tell me when your ready......

 

[faymantaray]

Would like to have seen Kane and Townsend to start this. Townsend for his pace.

Pace and then what?

 

[spurs-r-us]

A few comments have been floating around SC saying perhaps Eriksen and Lamela can't co-exist so close together on the field. Perhaps Poch is starting to think the same and trusts Eriksen a bit more at the moment?

I tend to agree with this. They're both just too slight, and neither can command the final third whilst the other is there. Lamela seriously needs to put some muscle on through his core.

On another note, if we're playing two strikers how is Kane not getting a gig?

 

[nedley]

eriksen left where his best form has been from.

mason is a cm, what do you expect?

ade's not playing cm.

Oh he will be.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Let's be honest guys, if HR or TS had been picking these line ups, we all know what would have happened

#Lynched

 

[sim0n]

I am only little surprised at Capoue instead of Stambouli,... but he finally "benched" Lamela,... crikey, almost a 4-4-2 with Adebayor and Soldano up top.... no surprise that Ade starts.... sorry as so many of you will be disappointed...

COYFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[felmani26]

Tell me when your ready......

Not from this camp.

But some semblance of his influence on the team and the players carrying out instructions would be nice!

 

[Jamturk]

Can someone suggest a good football reason why adebayor is playing? Serious question? No jokes please.

His strength, hold up play and leadership

 

[Davious]

Something like this?​

Capoue......Mason
Eriksen
Soldado........Ade........Chadli​

 

[Chris12]

2-1 defeat I reckon. Think their attack could do some damage on us, and not sure we can do the same, got two strikers out of form in goals scored (maybe less so Ade since did score last week)

 

[Borks]

Should've been Eriksen dropped instead of Lamela, Eriksen has been just as bad as Ade all season but generally escapes criticism.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Are we really plying with 2 strikers, or is Soldado playing the central AM role?

 

[Hoddtastic72]

To play 442 you need width and pace.

I don't see much of either I'm afraid.

No really, I'm seriously afraid!!!!!!!!

A bit off topic, but from your avatar, are you sure you aren't Sandro's Dad?
