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

i reckon he'll make his debut vs Orient in the cup. Not sure when his league debut will be though. could be a while like you say.

I think he'll make his debut this weekend mate but Moyes isn't likely to throw him in from the start and keep him there. He'll surely ease him in.

 

[RFUS]

A month? Are you insane?

He will start Saturday lad, dont forget Uncle Goat nailed it.

A month before he's a guaranteed starter each week, I mean.

Can't see Moyes throwing him in quickly. It's not his style.

Neither is winning before January, but that's seemingly changed as well.

He often does it mate, I know its a different fee, but Fellaini played from Day 1, also, again, clearly we NEEDED him, but Jelavic was also thrown in as soon as he recovered from injury.

I know you meant regular starter and I know, im possibly getting carried away, by a player who I must admit havent had a great look at, so forgive my excitement, but Marillas will be a BOSS.

We'll see mate. I loved the Man U result and it was a nice change but that doesn't mean everything else about Moyes will change.

That's part of the reason I can see a stale 1-1 draw here.

 

[teameverton]

2-0 if we are not confident now,when will we be.

 

[SteveRochester]

Villa are as dreadful as I've ever seen them. They've invested a lot in a number of young players, many of whom don't look ready for anything higher than League One. I'm sure the likes of Baker and Weimann will come good eventually, but they're far from the finished article. Ron Vlaar was a good signing, but I'm backing Felli to do a number on him. 2-0 win.

 

[RyanGordon]

Really looking forward to this one. We never find it easy at Villa Park, so will be interesting to see if we can follow up a great opening game by going there and taking all 3 points.

Can't see Mirallas starting, last half an hour I reckon.

 

[BostonToffee]

I'm hoping Moyes plays him as a second half sub even if the game is in a draw, but I fear he'll be playing safety first and go defensive.

The only thing that changed with the United game was the timing of it.

I said before the game how we played would have no bearing on the rest of our season, its the next few games which will show us if anything is gonna be different this year.

Yep. The previous bad opening days have all been against relegation battlers who we've been expected to beat. The Arsenal game aside, but then we never get the better of them and it was particularly bad timing with Lescott.

Lescott was awful, it was like playing with 10 men.

Anything over a point is a bonus.

 

[BlueYank]

3-1 Toffees with Bent to score like he always seems to do against the Blues.

 

[Blue 1]

Sick of being robbed by these slow-talking bells. About time we gave them a hiding.
