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

[Mrbluenose]

It's an away game against an OK side.

We (still) can't score.

A draw would be a good result, one that I'd take.

 

[Blueclouds]

Draw the best we can hope for. Sad days

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Amazingly, a draw keeps us ahead of them

I'll take a 0-0 right now to be honest if it means we then go and beat Wolves and Sheffield United

 

[Furey1878]

They did a very similar smash and grab job to Fulham when we last played them. Would be great if we could return the favour.

 

[Bramley-Girl Dock]

Contrary to popular thought I prefer Sunday kick off. Atleast inhet half the weekend before Everton can finger bang me.

 

[ramacca]

A tough game but as long as we get players behind the ball, and when we get it, we hit them effectively on the counter. Hopefully, we can put a chance or two away.

 

[blueblueskies]

Would definitely take a draw. 5 at the back with Garner as right wing back might not be the worst idea

Draw the best we can hope for. Sad days

Would've said that against Brighton last season aswell, who knows.

Glad that Mings is out, especially if DCL makes it

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Tyrone Mings out long term now, so obviously won't feature at least.

 

[royalblue66]

4-0 to them.

Ffs

Yes.

I had written this one off but after the pasting Villa took at Newcastle I feel we migh get sommat.

Last season they were turned over at Bournemouth first day and Slippy was managing them. Don't think even had a shot until about the 70th minute? That was with Coady and Onana making their debuts aswell so was a little more optimism around than now.

Danjuma certainly needs to be starting this just to give some sort of counter outlet.

Couldn't handle McGinn or Buendia in that second half, McGinn broke into the box for the penalty and then set up the second with another driving run.

Buendia out with ACL so given he's scored in last 3 that's another little boost.

 

[Tigger]

The Harrison derby, would take a scrappy draw right now.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

... photo finish ?

Buendia out with ACL so given he's scored in last 3 that's another little boost.

Their first was a very spurious pen, and their 2nd was a good example of why we didn't sign Coady permanently.

Think a draw is as good as it's getting for us sadly, but hoping we can just do a smash and grab ourselves for once!
