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

[Buckers]

Frank is so much more likeable than Slippy.

 

[Nyhus]

How doesn't Alli start this match?

I'm not his biggest fan, but he knows where the net is.

Yeah, this is dead weird. Why play a front 3 who very rarely scores. Id honestly rather have Rondon as a striker than Gordon.

Pickford as captain might be the only weirder thing here.

 

[Joey66]

no not particularly - mind you everything else is in this heat.

Notice the other lots game on Monday is when the heat is forecast to go...... they have all the luck .....but today the heat will affect both sides - plenty of drink breaks too ... so Frank can sort things out if we are struggling etc....

Knew Gerrard would swallow his pride and put Mings in against us. Just think it’s a bit naive to play that front three against a side as physical as Villa.

Would’ve started Onana and Rondon just for their physical presence but I hope Lampard proves me wrong. COYB

….I wondered if the release clause for the £30m is 80 starts rather than 80 appearances.

That makes more sense to me eggs. I would rather see if Delli still has the hunger for the game before plunging the rest of our budget on him.

So is Joseph Goebbels.

Set pieces win this today unless our midfield is anonymous in which case we'll be bummed.

 

[Dame Judi Dench]

How doesn’t Alli start? Because he’s done at this level. Terrible player with a terrible attitude.

 

[Thomasc]

Ings, Coutinho and Watkins

We are getting walloped here IMO

 

[KaiserEFC]

Keep the ball, stifle Villa, go for it on set pieces.

I'm not his biggest fan, but he knows where the net is.

Doubt he'll ever start for us tbh. Either there's an issue with his attitude or it's do with the payments owed to Spurs.

 

[blueconverse]

I forgot how much I detest Ashley Young

 

[GoldenToffee]

Doubt he'll ever start for us tbh. Either there's an issue with his attitude or it's do with the payments owed to Spurs.

I feel the same way. Wish we'd have gone nowhere near him. I reckon Frank will be massively regretting it too.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Glad they left Diego Carlos in. He's crap

 

[Chegsy]

Ings, Coutinho and Watkins

We are getting walloped here IMO

Expect all of them to have their game of the season.
