Jareth Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Nothing to fear here - work as hard as we have and we will probably win this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 3 losses in a row for them, 2 wins in a row for us...we need to be aiming for max points here without a doubt. If we play like we have for the last 270 minutes then we come back to B6 with the 3 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be crazy talk, but honestly after watching their first half today, it’s very hard to disagree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 26, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2021 I think Nuno will set them up quite negatively, he won't want another defeat and I think he's a naturally cautious manager. Our selections are increasingly difficult - which is a real sign of progress. I think we can be sure that Martinez will play in goal, and that we'll have fullbacks, so Targett and Cash will play I'd have thought. I think we need to play with three in the middle, so Luiz, McGinn and Ramsey are in. And we'll play at least two centre backs in Konsa and Mings. ----------------------------------Martinez--------------------------------------- Cash---------------Konsa----------------Mings-----------------Targett -------------------------------------Luiz-------------------------------------------- -----------------------McGinn-------------Ramsey-------------------------- I think that's our base - eight of them - it leaves three other places to be filled. We have to squeeze; Hause, Tuanzebe, Buendia, Traore, Watkins and Ings into those three places - and in a couple of weeks time we'll also have to try to find room for Bailey and maybe Sanson. For Spurs I think we'll go with the three centrebacks and for me Hause has earned another go, even though Tuanzebe has done absolutely nothing wrong - I think if Tuanzebe is selected over him, Hause will start looking for the exit. I think Watkins and Ings up top - so we'll again be leaving our record signing on the bench. ----------------------------------Martinez--------------------------------------- Cash-----------Konsa-------Hause---------Mings------------Targett -------------------------------------Luiz-------------------------------------------- -----------------------McGinn-------------Ramsey-------------------------- --------------------------Ings---------------Watkins--------------------------- It'll be interesting to see what we do for Wolves though, Bailey and Buendia will be chomping at the bit and we might go with four at the back. Nice problems. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Think Spurs will have the media heat on them this week. We will have to be cautious we don't cop some blowback, but on form we should be a big chance for 3 points here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 A bit too much confidence in here. I do think we will win but it’s still Spurs and they’ve got plenty of quality and can cause us damage if they’re on their game. We need to boss it from pretty early on and not let them hit their stride at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Spurzzzz after Watkins apparantley. 5-6 years younger than Kane. Playing well, important to the team. Using the Levy formulae Watkins is worth almost 200 M. They couldn't give Kane away on current form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a spurzz owner / shareholder I would question Levy on Kane. They might not get a tune out of him again for spurzz hopefully. Hopefully he goes for under 60 M in the end.

Herman22 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I usually hate having to wait until Sunday for a game but I’ll happily wait this week after the United win. Spurs aren’t a bad team and won’t be happy about the manner of the derby defeat. Kane looks uninterested so hopefully that continues for a while longer. I’d be surprised if we change either formation or team. Hause has to keep his place after two clean sheets on the trot. The midfield looks a nice balance and I think Ings and Watkins will click soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Don_Simon Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 Hause has to start for two reasons. 1) He's done nothing to warrant being dropped. 2) He's actually our player. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - in my mind Tuanzebe is our player because I'd be very confident the deal for him to join permanently is already done. I also think Tuanzebe fit this system better. However I'm always convinced EVERYONE should be playing for their place. Hause did that and deserves another start off the back of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Slight worry that Kane has yet to score and we know what happens when a player in a drought plays us... That said, the level we're played at for the last few matches should be enough to get something out of this. 3 points would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just because Hause deserves to keep his place but Hause is a Villa player and Axel is a Man Utd player. We should always be trying to prioritise our players into the team ahead of loanees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted September 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2021 I'd like to see a change in the team simply to rotate the players. We have a decent squad now so there's no need to flog one set of 11 players to death any more. I think this will be the biggest lesson we will have to learn if we are to be successful in the next step, where more games will demand it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
