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

Surely Dom should get at least the first 45 mins here

 

[ToffeeTim]

If we create that many chances every game we play this season, we'll be fine.

Not if we dont recruit someone who can take the chances

We dominated Fulham last week mate.

What an absolute lie that is we couldn’t get the ball off them at times.

They had higher possession in both halves.

We had the better chances, but let’s not make stuff up.
Edit: just checked, they had 64% possession.

Don't think he will last that long.

Mate?

Nothing wrong with our game against Fulham except woeful finishing.

The team created lots of very good chances and I hope today that some are converted

DCL due to start - according to a known leak of confidential information.

Calvin starts, yippee! Hopefully no Maupay in the squad.

And was it one or two shots on target.. we should have won comfortably and we would have if we'd had one half decent striker.

3 wins in 36 away games mentioned on sky news, i know we have a poor record away but didn't realise was that bad. Got to change a some point!

We did alright last week just the finishing let us down

 

[Toffe3m4n]

With the news that DCL is set to start:

Pickford

Patterson - Keane - Tarkowski - Young

Gana ---- Onana

Garner -- Doucoure -- Iwobi

DCL​

I'd be surprised if this doesn't end up being the exact starting lineup.

Just to throw my two penneth worth in here - the possession stat in 2023 means virtually nothing in terms of determining the overall balance of a football match..

He said we dominated Fulham.

We clearly didn’t.

I agree we had more chances and created the better chances. We didn’t dominate them though.

As I said, more chances and better chances. We didn’t dominate them though which is what he wrote and I was responding to.
