M_Afro Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 We have had one of those seasons where we just seem to keep coming up against teams at the wrong time. Spurs looked very good in the second half today and will be so confident when they come to us next week! We will really need a good start. An early goal to boost confidence and get the crowd on side. Here’s hoping for a Phil 25 yarder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Watching us in transition yesterday and Kulusevski and Son today. Not optimistic about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) The impact Conte has had is very impressive. Spurs look very organised and most players have improved under him and they look very dangerous going forward. Would love it if we had some width to our game and it might prevent their fullbacks getting forward so much and hopefully we don't see the 2 number 10s experiment again! Can only see a Spurs win given the form of both sides but would be great if we could put in a performance.

KentVillan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Spurs are on fire at the moment. When Conte gets that 3-4-3 firing, his teams can be pretty much unplayable. Their front 3 is really dangerous, and they have quality off the bench as well. Be surprised if we come away with points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmeedson Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Where is the fighting spirit in our team, where is the leadership when we are under the gun, we need a Tommy Shelby Resurrection from some of the players for next week and at least sweat blood.

delboy54 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I think I am going to be positive about this game, we raised our game against chelski, mann yoo, man c£ty............................ It will not be enough though and we will still lose 0 - 3 (Kane, Son x2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I’m hoping we hire the Arsenal caterers for this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 This has a good hammering written all over it. I would just match Spurs formation and hope for the best, if we play our usual system Kane and Son will have a field day. ---------------------------Martinez----------------------------- ------Chambers------Konsa--------------Mings------- Cash---------Luiz--------------Ramsey-----------Digne -----------------Buendia-----------Coutinho--------------- ---------------------------Watkins------------------------------- Or drop Buendia or Coutinho and go with Watkins/Ings up top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live the other side of cambridge, followed villa all my life, (yes born and bred in the shires and now live in Suffolk) first game was a home defeat in 1968 2 - 4 to Bristol City. I am a season ticket holder in the Holte End and I am nearly 64. Journey takes me about 2 hours each way, I dont get to see all home games but this season I have seen villa win twice... Next week I will drive up to see the game against spurs to see villa lose either convincingly or assisted by VAR I am beginning to wonder what is the point...? I will always follow the villa, enjoy the banter at the back of the Holte but I am beginning to wonder if I can bothered anymore, maybe this is the last season I waste my time going to watch another of the regular abject performances I have witnessed not only this season but over the years.... Please follow VT members try and convince me... VTID Derek We were 13th in the Championship four years ago so I find it rather odd that you're wetting the bed now when we're 10th in the Premier League. You're nearly 64 years old so will have seen us in the Third Division... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is able to get the most from what he has on hand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't a bad player either, he does seem to have a shortish shelf life wherever he goes, always a two/three year project max. The way he has them playing we're going to have to find another gear or two to get anything out of this game. Hopefully we can avoid a mauling.
