Aston Villa v Spurs (FAC4) Pre Match Thread

[tomd2103]

Obviously it depends on fitness, but my wild guess at a starting like up would be;

Martinez
Garcia
Konsa
Bogarde
Maatsen
Kamara
Tielemans
McGinn
Ramsey
Rogers
Malen

It's probably come a week or two too early in terms of being able to field our best team.  Think we might have to  put Bogarde at RB and Kamara at CB again (unless Mings is fit) unfortunately.

Well i hope "Tayls" is given the treatment on Sunday from minute 1 to the end.

I would of hoped after the Newcastle debacle he would owe us one but he is such an arrogant twat it will probably go the other way

It's 100% on him (it's not, but still) that I'll not see any more Duran thunderbastards in a Villa shirt, the bellend.

Anthony Taylor is ref, loves giving decisions for spurs, so we got to beat more than 11 on the weekend

That the bloke who got chased out the airport . Awful Ref . Mind you are there any good ones.

[PeterWithesShin]

He's reffed 26 games this season, 98 yellows and 2 reds.

Do we know whether Ollie is likely to be fit?

[Dave]

Do we know whether Ollie is likely to be fit?

Supposedly out for ten days. Which probably gives him a nice rest as well and lets some of the new shiny toys get played with.

[Somniloquism]

GA sold out.

[RamboandBruno]

Sounds like Ollies out, is Mings fit, if he’s not I think it might be.

Martinez
Garcia
Konsa
Kamara
Digne
Onana
Tielemans
McGinn
Malen
Rogers
Ramsey

Would love to batter these fuckers, more likely to be close.
2-1 (Rogers, Ramsey)

Depending on Ollie's fitness I to would be tempted to give Malen the start. And I think Asensio will probably be closer to starting (instead of Bailey) than Rashford is (instead of Ramsey). But I could be wrong.

Asensio, Malen and Rashford is an attractive attack however I can’t  see an experienced coach like Emery starting with a completely new combination.

Anthony Taylor? Boo the cvnt throughout. If it wasn't for him we'd still have Durán instead of Rashford.

[Drummond]

Ooh, I'd cheer him then. Rather Watkins than Duran

[VillaTim]

Tickets secured

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Somebody is seriously taking the piss or they think Unai is a pushover as he never complains about refs and VAR. Taylor shouldn't be anywhere close to a Villa game and that's before the Newcastle game gets mentioned. I really hope the Holte gives Taylor both barrels.

[Lsvilla]

It will be Olsen not Martinez in goal.

[Hookeysmith]

It will be Olsen not Martinez in goal.

Why. Emi by his own admission owes one after a poor goal conceded against Wolves.
