Match Thread Aston Villa vs Everton. Saturday 14th August 12:30 KO

[TheBigIguana]

I think we can win this still tbh

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Need Rondon on I think, more of a target man and a threat from corners, which I think will be our best chance of scoring

 

[Dougie]

Just brain dead then.

Yes!

 

[NorthernBlue]

Our shambolic transfer business is there for all to see. Literally the worst forward and midfield in the prem

 

[Tony1985]

If not Rondon at least put Dele up front, he will put himself about and has a bit of snide about him.

 

[Drico]

Why did we buy McNeil

You could ask that very same question and replace the player's name with any number of people in our squad and you'd still be asking a rhetorical question. Just as validly.

 

[hktoffee]

Change it Frank, please.

Pickford

Holgate Cody Tarkowski

Patterson Onana Iwobi Vinagre

Dele Gordon

Rondon

 

[Death]

The relegation form is strong with this one. 130 millos

 

[TheBigIguana]

Thought Gordon was our only outlet all half tbh, don't understand people slating him, Gray has been weak keeps turning himself infield into traffic, McNeil errrrm hmmm, errrrrm, hmmm.

Sight of Davies coming on is a wake up call to everyone who thinks we've significantly upgraded cm, one injury and he's on for his customary ten minute booking.

Positive, least we still have four more subs to throw at this and hope something works vs a frankly awful villa side.

Our two best passers are Coadey and Tarkowski, sadly thru have no one to actually pass too in front. Iwobi at least seem to wake up after we went behind and Patterson looks lively

Well neither of the new midfielders are available to start yet so I'm not too worried about the depth going forward

Not with Davies on mate, he is probably the worst senior midfielder in the league

 

[Mosh Pit]

I'd take Holgate off.

Go to a back four.

Bring Onana on.

4 3 3.

Game will be much different.

 

[davek]

Too passive.

Villa are a poor poor team there to be beaten.

 

[bluestevon]

Gordon hasn't been close to our worst player there

He's being scapegoated something rotten here

Out the front three he's been far the best

 

[TheBigIguana]

Not with Davies on mate, he is probably the worst senior midfielder in the league

My calculations there involved Onana taking him off before the last ten minutes.

 

[Chegsy]

And nah I didn't imagine that lump flying through one of our players in their box.

And instead of looking at it, the VAR decided to show me a slow mo of Tom Davies' awful overhead kick.

Just end the season now.

I thought this was the incident they were checking. Seems like they were checking for a handball. It’s clumsy.
