Spurs Vs Villa match thread

Emoran

Coming off a great midweek win against twente we need to come in with the same attitude... cant have another game like wigan were our performance drops remarkably because of a "Champions League hangover"

unlikely king will start and with bassong our only fit centre half would like to see this team out ( bar a messed up C.B two )

---

Gomes

---

Hutton--Corluka--Bassong--Thudd---
Lennon--Thudd--Modric--Bale

---

VDV

---

Pav

Hopefully lennon gets some confidence back and i still believe pav is our best fit striker ( or at least can show the most talent ) hopefully he takes in some confidence after scoring 2 goals from wednesday. . .

I see a big group of lads are heading over this saturday , wish i was going...
Enjoy the game an try not to be late after being in the Bill Nic

COYS!

Oh Christ I hope for our sake that Charlie isnt starting CB. Was terrible there against WHU. Provided King dosen't play I'd much rather see Hudd playing back there.

Gomes
Hutton --- Hudd --- Bassong --- BAE
Van D V --- Modric --- Palacios --- Jenas --- Bale
Crouch

Cant see Pav starting after the Twente match, didn't do very much barr the peno's. Perhaps Sandro might make his PL debut in place of Palacios/Jenas??

I can't see much changes from the team that played midweek tbh. There is an international break comming up and Ledley can rest then. I would like to see Lennon back in and VDV moved up top with Crouchie instead of Pav.

+1...VDV looks like he can play anywhere and we need a lively striker

I can feel the positive vibes coming from you from here

2-1 spurs

everdead.ie

2-0 spurs Pav and Bale me thinks

everdead.ie

Jenas in for king and Hudd at CB

Kiith

0-1 to Villa.

Glebee

Just after getting in, how are spurs playing....

everdead.ie

VDV 1-1 well deserved

Valcin

Has anyone got a link to watch it online? Thanks.

Undercover

What a signing this VdV lad is proving already, adding much needed desire to the midfield. Reckon Harry has the formation wrong in these type of games, giving too much room to the visitors in the middle of the park. Need to kick on in the second half.

Undercover

Try myp2p the tvu link, they've already removed the veetle one..

Glebee

Pick that one out

everdead.ie

2-1 VDV
Modric just off for Palacios

Kold

VDV is the f*cking man.

Kold

That wasn't smart by Bale. Only 4 secs left in the game like.

Glebee

Good win from spurs. COYS

everdead.ie

My internet cut out and when i fixed it I noticed Sandro was playing and then he blew up for full time was he on long I missed from when Collins took out Lennon so have no idea?

Great win thoroughly deserved

ziedth

I'll take that,

Maybe a turning point?

marty2002

Great win, hope this is a turning point considering some of our other results in the league. What can ye say about Rafa? Class act, i can see him getting a bagfull of goals this season, nice to see Lennon starting to get a bit of form and i hope this continues for him.

Antisocialiser

VDV is an absolute hero... i was at this fixture last year and it was the same old boring 10 men behind the ball hit you on the counter villa... could rafael be the touch of class we need to finish the teams we should be beating. His dummy for the second was majestic

Collins should have gone for that tackle on lennon for sure imo.

Bale getting a yellow is a fat -1 on my fantasy points tally... horrid.

Overall great 3 points

I forgot about that Lennon was excellent when he came on credit where it's due wether he needed a rest after his injury or a kick in the arse the couple of Matches on the Bench did a world of good

Assou-Ekotto was also very good I forgot to mention
Only real fault through the whole game was when Bassong was alone with Heskey there he tried to out muscle him instead of kicking it out.

Looks like vdv is the Lampard/Gerrard style scoring midfielder we've been lacking. Things could be more promising with him in our team now!

BERBA

to think that we paid the same 8m for Corluka as we did VDV , What a signing VDV is , world class.

...-2 for me...he's my captain! :mad:

mickman

very important win today and deserved in fairness. vdv is starting to hit the back of the net and will be such a top class player for us. he is a hero already.

we do look a lot more asssured with gomes in goal, he seems to control the centre backs a lot better. bassong made a mistake when out muscled by heskey but was good for the rest of the game. ekotto was excellent i though, a very good game for him

couple of the lads looked tired , modric etc but they have a two week break now. pav was doing alright i thought and was unlucky to be taken off but lennon defo gave us more width and balance on the right. he put a few stray passes but did better then recently. rest of the team did well, crouch won a good few headers and played people in etc

hutton is so much better than corluka at present, yes his defending is not the best but he is excellent going forward so i cant see charlie getting back in.

onwards and upwards. 5th place and an excellent start to the champs league. mighty!!

ziedth

Only thing is down the line we HAVE to make up for the points we dropped against West Ham and Wigan.

So gotta pick up a result against the likes of united away and games we usually could lice with loosing.

We need to turn away draws against everton and villa into wins and beat wolves too

VDV was excellent today. He has created a fantastic buzz about the place, a little like when Klinsmann first came to the lane. Dont know about his GILF fetish though
