Aston Villa 1-3 Everton. 25th August @ 15.00.

With the exception of Hibbert for Neville, that's a bloody strong line up. Good to see Moyes being more positive against arguably weaker opposition.

With the exception of Naismith for Cahill its not really any different to numerous line ups last season.

It isn't the line up which determines positivity or negativity as such more the way that line up plays.

The key really is how far up the pitch Fellaini goes and what kind of balls we play to our forwards, good incisive passing on the floor, or long balls to isolated players.

Any streams? If there are, will they be put in this thread?
Hope we keep fellaini behind the front man, shift Osman inside.

 

[Jags..class]

dont know some of those villa players to be honest.

 

[Goat]

I guess we wait and see where they play, Fellaini, Osman and Naismith can play anywhere really.

 

[RFUS]

Completely disagree again, Hibbert looks reluctant to get forward and he cannot cross, the 1 decent cross from 5 attemps does not mean you can cross a ball. Neville puts in a better ball.

You have to be joking?

Hibbo had more assists than Baines last year, all from open play crosses.

Neville's 'crosses' are either inaccurate or in slow motion. Or both.

This, basically. Could look very different depending on who is where.

For the first time in a long time, I'm VERY confident, not on the back of the UTD game, but more for our side and the kip of the villa team.

 

[Connor]

Can see Felli behind Jela with him and Osman interchanging all game.

Been looking at another Mirallas youtube video. That lad is gonna win us a lot of pens!

anyone who says neville is a better RB than hibbert is insane , almost every game i watched last season and even the manchester united game hibbert could of been man of the match in my eyes ( the united game felliani was world class but after that hibbert was my man of the match )

steven ireland is on the bench vs us too ... even better

 

[BigBlueConk]

We have been in a position of "never a better time to play them" on several occasions in the past and still make hard work of getting a result.
There is a lot of hard work ahead of Everton if we are going to take a rare 3 points from Villa Park.

Taking nothing for granted. COYB X

Hibbert would be lucky to get into a Tranmere side, his overall play is very poor, one or two good tackles doesn't make a footballer.

Bloody Hell, I thought Kipper had some bad ones on there, but you have just beaten the lot of them for speaking absolute garbage

Apparently, the official team sheets had McFadden's name down instead of Naismith's. Sort it out Premier League!
