‘Sad about Bale’ – Some fans react to the Spurs team vs Aston Villa

Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to share their reaction to Jose Mourinho’s team selection for this evening’s match against Aston Villa.

In all competitions, Aston Villa have lost 11 of their last 12 matches against Tottenham Hotspur, winning the other in April 2015 under Tim Sherwood.

Tottenham have lost four of their last five away league games (W1), as many as they had in their previous 20 on the road (W8 D8). Each of Spurs’ last eight away league wins has come against placed 13th or lower in the table, last beating a side in the top half on the road back in December 2019 (2-1 vs Wolves).

Aston Villa have only lost six consecutive home Premier League matches against an opponent on two previous occasions – versus Manchester United (2003-2007) and Liverpool (2011-2019).

Japhet Tanganga and Joe Rodon come into the back four, while Giovani Lo Celso starts in a wide role, with Carlos Vinicius and Harry Kane up front together.

Here is a selection of what the North London faithful had to say about the line up:
