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

[BainesontoastNEW]

Allan struggling will be interesting who he goes with in midfield

He's trusted Holgate there in the past. Wouldn't put it past him again.

 

[truebluejersey]

Pickford
Patterson Godfrey Mina Mykolenko
Dourcoure Allan Gomes
Richarlison DCL Gray

Dunc will go:

Pickford
Coleman Keane Mina Mykolenko
Gordon Doucoure Allan Gray
Richarlison DCL

If goes for that there’s enough there to beat Villa

 

[GMan1878]

Most played top flight fixture and I think its also the most drawn too. Would like a win but given Villa's improvement lately & Duncs first game would take a hard fought gutsy no score draw..

Allan injured

It’ll be a test of our players characters, if Dunc can’t get them motivated then we’re doomed.

If the players dont get motivated under Big Duncs watch, then I think the players are doomed! Wouldnt want to get on wrong side of Dunc!

 

[Steve Wigan]

Honestly don't remember his last decent game for us, he flattered to deceive IMO, often got done for pace and was short of effort.

Put Gordon or Gray up against Digne and we'll get a lot of joy, and a lot of free kicks.

 

[Runub]

Actually really looking forward to going the game, verging on excited

Enjoy. Hopefully bring home a win

I would say a draw is most likely. Really can't see us losing. New manager bounce and all that.

I'm sure Gerrard will have them up for it so should be a decent game.

 

[WalterBecker]

Enjoy. Hopefully bring home a win

Cheers Mate, here’s hoping

This is the right kind of game for Coleman to finally score to redeem himself in front of the crowd.
Don't get me wrong, I do understand he made a lot of mistakes recently, but I also think a few lads here ignore some good things he is still doing on the pitch, and another reason is that I've got an official Everton shirt with the number '23' on it as a present from my sister, so I don't want to tear apart a new t-shirt

Just fighting spirit can't win a game...

We will DESTROY you

 

[Rob17896]

Depends on who he selects in the starting 11...

If he picks Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Tosun, Rondon, Gomes, Delph, Iwobi or a combination thereof when the loss is on him.

Do lot lump Coleman with the likes of Delph. Different reasons Seamus is struggling

Read online that keane, coleman and Gordon dropped, allan injured. Patterson, mina and townsend will start, as will gomes instead of allan. 4 4 2.

Richy probably dropping back to middle when we aren't in possession.
