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

[ToffeeTim]

Maybe. But would it not be better start him then and hopefully get a good start and not be chasing a game when he comes on

Hard to say without knowing how fit the player is. I usually do prefer Gomes as a sub.

I can’t believe we are going 442, I think it will be more 451 / 433, with Richarlison dropping off when we don’t have the ball to make a 451 or Richarlison on the right with Townsend playing as AMC

 

[The Trinity.]

….he’s been pitched into Old Firm derby and got MoM, not to mention key qualifiers for Scotland. I understand Coleman starting but I’d be disappointed if Kenny is leapfrogging Patterson.

Patterson's a good footballer. was kept out off the Rangers team by another very good rb. Think that he played at lb for rangers. Also played in midfield. Don't know why he hasn't featured for Everton yet. But I predict that he will leap frog JJ Kenny soon. And become a very good player for us.

Villa's line up looks good. I really rate that gremlin McGinn in the middle.

Ramsey looks great too

 

[DanEFC92]

What are they gonna do? Not exactly change a game

It's surprising that £30 odd million signings aren't involved at all.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Need Dunc to crush Gerrard when they shake hands.

Wing back a lot too

teams often win on emotion after a coach is fired, especially a coach they didn’t like. Hopefully we see that happening here

 

[DanEFC92]

Don't see how you can drop Gordon like.

 

[RomanReigns]

Onyango on bench is right

 

[ToffeeTim]

Don't see how you can drop Gordon like.

Harsh but he wasn't good at Norwich

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I do hope its a fitness thing with Patterson & Mykolenko. If he's dropped them out of spite then that's very stupid.

 

[Dr James Baxter]

It's hard for me to feel enthused for today after so many miserable and embarrassing performances so far this season. I do hope this is the turning point and the players actually remember they can play football.

How can you not be exited for this game!!

 

[brieverton]

The line up makes you realize the issues we have.

I'm just hoping for intensity and concentration from us for 95 minutes. Cut out individual errors.

Really, really need the fans as the 12th man today and the players to feed off it.

It's like a cup final for us today. We have to win the game by whatever means. Anything else is secondary.

 

[Zatara]

Made up the trio of donkeys arent starting...

Keane, Coleman and Rondon can GTF.

Gomes in a midfield 2 though...doubt he stays on after half time.
