Match Thread Aston Villa v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[LocalNative]

Feel sick looking at that team. Surely the worst bench in the Premier League?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

There are quite a few teams with similar numbers injured right now. Spurs, Brighton, Newcastle, United.

So 3 others - the fact we constantly in and around the top 4-5 sides for injuries is a joke.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Absolutely laughable. ‘Will be nice to start the season with a fully fit squad unlike last year’…a few weeks in….Pickford Coleman Gbamin James Richarlison DCL all out.

 

[Encoder]

Oh no Gray wasn't in the training video!

I wish he was fit for this game!

 

[COYBL25]

Sound the WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN TRAINING?!! klaxon.

BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS.

MEGA

The money James is on fully fit or not he should be on the bench...

 

[andy4efc]

If James isn't making the subs bench now rondon hasn't played since may Simms only back training a week ,then we won't see James again but benitez had set his stall out not sure it's In the club's best interest

It's in nobodies interest to not even have James on the bench as an option. Facts are james has been training, he said hes ready to play when asked to, no reason to not put him on the bench.

i get Benitez having a system of palying who actually work hard but having our best technically gifted player banished from the squad for a personal fued is pathetic for me.

Norwich hold that title.

Apparently Pickford is a shoulder strain and Coleman a hamstring problem

Pickford is probably the least concerning of all those. Begovic can cover sporadically. Rondon should be fine?? Everywhere else is criminal from the board

 

[Davidoff]

Ask me last year who that front four would be lining up for…I’d have named several championship clubs

 

[blue in oxford]

saving them for QPR

 

[Zeitgeist]

Where is gbamin ?? pathetic

 

[AmericasToffee]

Love the fact that they don't even bother telling us about Gbamin anymore

Good indicator for the season that no matter who's in training video. They are injured until proven fit

 

[PhilM]

Love the fact that they don't even bother telling us about Gbamin anymore

He was on the bench on Monday wasn't he and was warming up in the second half? Pickford was holding his shoulder for most of the second half.
