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

[BlueToff]

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

Rondon isn't match fit so in Benitez's book should be at home resting up apparently

 

[Goat]

The bench is very bad and Richy and DCL missing is huge, but we have enough there to see off a very poor Villa side.

COYB

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

I'm absolutely no James fan but he should be in the squad by now.
Benitez doesn't trust him at all. Perhaps James had something with daughter Agata

 

[BlueStevie35]

Atleast Allan and Doucs are there.

Who is right wing back iwobi or Townsend?

Godfrey RB, Iwobi will be in the 10 behind Gray, Townsend and Rondon

 

[overkill]

Godfrey RB?

Who'd have thought, eh?

Think it might be 3 at the back again, with Iwobi wing back

 

[TheBigIguana]

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

I don't think we are. We were mostly healthy last year. You don't get to get mad about 30 year olds that you're making go 90 minutes weekly getting hurt.

 

[PhilM]

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

It's a Championship bench. That's not even being hyperbolic either because some of those players shouldn't be near a PL XI.

Cant see it.

Well, Rondon didn't pull the "tell me who the club paying my salary are playing this weekend" so I imagine he's in better graces with the manager.

They've got game changers in reserve though. We can't do the go behind and fight back thing here.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Where is gbamin ?? pathetic

I mean he was on the bench Monday and on the training pics and videos so it’s not like he’s anonymous

 

[Blueclouds]

Hmm James nor on the bench again. Frustrating

 

[Mashtray]

Cant see it.

Couldn't even imagine it

 

[mawders]

Godfrey preferred to Kenny at RB?

Where's the rest?

So where is he today?
