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

[blueblood]

I'd go...

Pickford
Patterson--Keane--Godfrey--Mykolenko
------Onyango------Gomes------
----Harrison----Danjuma----Dobbin
----------------Beto----------------

That is a team that will probably get well beaten but it avoids the risk of injury to crucial players and gives minutes to some youngsters and players returning from injury/ getting used to English football. The upcoming league games are miles more important than this.

Pickford will be on the bench, along with eight other goalies.

Are they likely to put out a strong line up for this?

Regardless, I barely get excited about this competition. Is there any hope I'll ever get to see us lift this cursed trophy?

Let's see how Everton set up.

No unforced errors and we have a good chance, if the chances created are taken.
UTFTs!

agree but luton at home is priority

no!

would be nice to have cup run villa had busy week and will play stiffs so go as strong as we dare

no cake risk our better players

 

[Bkk Andy]

I honestly couldn't care less about this. We have no hope of winning the trophy so why risk senior players that we desperately need for the league.

There's always hope.

It's the reality Everton struggle with.

If Dele was fit enough, could he play in this without using up one of his 7 remaining games before we owe spurs 10M?

 

[Sharpattack]

I’d put the youth team out for this. Come to think of it, could we recall Maupay from loan, add Gomes and Gbamin?

 

[RomanReigns]

i honestly can't think of a side who has dominated us both home and away since they got promoted as much as villa have

the last time we beat villa was in 2016 when they had gueye in their team

I dunno, Liverpool have done quite well against us since they got promoted in 1964.

Yes and no

Stop with the Dele shouts. It's over

Plus his loan expires soon
