Match Threads Spurs vs Aston Villa - Day 13

[ComfortablyNumb]

That could be a very balanced line up, if they'd ever played it before. A lot of changes make it a bit of a scratch team though, expect a lot of brain farts and comical errors...

 

[midoshairband]

What happened to Philips?

too defensive minded.

 

[soflapaul]

Ange channeling his inner Billy Nick. That side looks like sheer genius or sheer madness.

 

[PCozzie]

Man this guy does not like boring football.

I'm in.

Veliz for Vicario at HT if we need a bit more in attack.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Same. Really hoping it means diet and hojberg gone in jan

My New Year diet is usually gone by January too

Think we need a poll if you are happy with the line up rather than wait for the result

I for one am happy with this line up. Its essentially shoehorning our best available players and certain wasn't what unai was planning for

My only slight concern is how well we can track midfield runners as we don't really have a defensive minded player albeit both gio and Bentancur have played the number 6 role in the past

This is also a kick in the teeth for dier and hojberg

I feel very strongly we are finally going to see Donley having some game time today.

Are Bissouma and Sarr both suspended or injured?

 

[muppetman]

Royal and Davies at CB aren’t ideal but love that Ange is all in.

Excited to see what Gio and Bryan can do with a start and Kulu in the centre.

Pundits will have a field day if we lose (as will our own negative Nancys) but I’m here for this type of attitude.

It’s unlikely to be dull, either way!

Definitely a sink or swim team and I’m all here for it ⚽️

I have both teams to score... possible ??

 

[tobi]

Wonder how they line up. Deki in CM?

Deki will be the advanced 8 and Lo Celso will be box to box.

Are Bissouma and Sarr both suspended or injured?

Bissouma suspended for too many yellows. Sarr injured following international duty was 50/50.

Sarr with a knock

Bissouma suspended, Sarr injured

 

[sparx100]

Are Bissouma and Sarr both suspended or injured?

Bissouma suspended for 5 yellows and Sarr picked up a knock

 

[bubble07]

We are essentially missing 6 first team regulars

 

[NickHSpurs]

Ballsy line up, mate.

 

[mark87]

Deki's workrate will be important in the middle of the pitch today.

 

[HodisGawd]

Absolutely mad team selection.
