If anything, Son would be the reason for moving Konsa out there rather than the other way around. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving gaps i dont think he has the ball playing skill set to play rb. Also going forward would be non existant. Sticking him up against son i personally feel would be a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 We will win this, I'm certain. Unai will not be outdone by Ryan **** Mason. The recent games we've dropped points in were all away games, we haven't lost at home since Arsenal in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezri is one of the very best in the league at keeping people the right side of him, and Emery wants a more defensive fullback on one side. This does both. But you're right that Carlos' fitness will likely dictate this one. If we start with Young then we could be in trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anything11 Posted May 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2023 First time to Villa Park and seeing Villa live in a competitive match in 25 years of fandom. Managed to snipe a ticket in the Holte off the official site. Beats getting up at 2am to watch the match on tv. I am beyond excited. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would be beyond suspicious, given he retired last season. Referee: Peter Bankes. Assistants: Eddie Smart, Nick Greenhalgh.Fourth official: Anthony Taylor.VAR: Jarred Gillett.Assistant VAR: Timothy Wood. We've only had Bankes once this season. Opening day loss at Bournemouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If De Zerbi can get outdone by Dyche, then I think there's a chance Emery could come a cropped against Mason. Nothing is certain in this league and Spurs have improved since Mason took the helm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Tough one to call. Its absolutely our last chance to grab 7th and a place in the Conference League. But tha same goes for Spurs. We absolutely have to win the game to have any hope, but they only need a draw, given the remaining fixtures and goal difference. I'll be expecting a tight game and a raucous atmosphere but ultimately I doubt it will be a classic. Recent performances have been poor and we never beat Spurs at home, and whilst I think we will fall short here, I am confident we can nick a point. Which is far better than any home game against this lot in many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more firing blanks. And the only teams in the league to concede more than them all season.... Bournemouth, Forest and the Bottom 3. These lot are terrible at the back. We have to take advantage of this. Score early, and the floodgates could open. Predicting Watkins will get his shooting boots back after consecutive weekend games with full recovery in between. 4-1 to us. Kane to get an obligatory late penalty to keep him relevant.

foreveryoung Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I'm worried spurs have turned up around under Mason. Kane in the Media today too, saying they all need to do better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
