Match Thread Aston Villa vs. Everton - Carabao Cup Third Round

OH hey up.

Old man is throwing stones at players again.

I'm looking at that Luton game only.

Enjoy the three handled piss pot....

Villa gone strong so playing the reserves would have been a terrible idea.

Nope. It makes more sense now to have played the reserves if that's the case.

There's not even a chance of a win so why has Dyche placed our players on the line for injuries...

 

[Charlie Sweet]

5 at the back?

Hopefully not given his Patterson selection

 

[DanB90]

Don’t mind us trying something new in this game.
Was expecting a much weaker lineup and a tonking anyway tbh.

That's the spirit...

I think he’s conscious not to rush back after an injury but cheek aside Dom has been match fit for a month now, wouldn’t be surprised to see him play in both games.

Would love both Dom and Beto up top with crosses going in knowing how they’ll sit back.

Absolutely Id love to see both in the box against Luton, I would just find it oddly inconsistent with the way Dyche has been to hold him out for so long, then have him immediately play 3 matches in 8 days.

Daft to play DCL.

If we're going out to win this then it makes no sense to play Keane and Patterson in defence.

Dyche has ballsed this up. Should have played a lot more peripheral players and gone out with no damage. If we get injuries to key players that's down to him.

I half agree with this. I don’t know how healthy Dom is so we shall see. But that is the one thing I will say is mighty risky. I would have seriously considered Danjuma up front myself.

He’s got to get DCL, fit, and I mean match fit

 

[GoldenToffee]

It's a cup game, whay play 5 at the back?

Cos Villa are dynamite in attack.

 

[davek]

That's the spirit...

Its true.

We;ll get well beaten here...let's just hope Dyche's decision to go for this match doen't end in injures and a loss or draw to Luton.

Let';s hope it does;t backfire...

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

A successful outing for me today consists of nobody getting injured. Focus has to be 100% on staying in the premiership and nothing else at the moment.

 

[Victus]

No injuries is all I care about. Cup means nothing these days sadly.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

So 3 CB, Mykolenko and Patterson as wing-backs, Onana/Garner/Harrison in MF, and Danjuma as a false 9 playing off Dom?

I.... think I like it..... ???

 

[Calvin]

Let';s hope it does;t backfire...

He’s got to put on either Beto or DCL. Perhaps he’s got Beto starting against Luton and it’s a chance for DCL to get more minutes in his legs and impress Dyche
