Match Thread Everton 0-1 Aston Villa - Wednesday 15th January 19:30

[JLW]

I dont think we realistically have a shot at a win against a team of their caliber, but just showing SIGNS that this team can be something it hasnt been would be good. Signs that this squad is capable of more, and theres something for Moyes to unlock over time.

Mate even poor Everton sides are normally strong at home, the fact that Dyche diminished even hope says more about him as a manager than the current squad.

We can deffo win, not saying we should or will but we deffo can, especially if we start fast get the fans in full voice and use the home advantage that car crash of manager we have just fired took away from us..

Head says 1-1
Heart 2-1 late winner

Maybe Ive just been biased by the last 4 years. To me it just seems a lot to change enough 3 days later against a very good squad, with the players we have. Of course I hope to be wrong, but I also think its possible the fans get very restless if we dont start well and it starts to feel like much of the same.

Now bring me in a full back and a winger, and get Garner and McNeil back from injuries and I really believe this squad moves back up the table, I just dont hold out hope for this one.

Hope the fog isn't as bad as it is here near Preston cos it's getting a real pea souper that would cause problems playing the game i reckon

I personally like the second one. Would even consider putting Harrison in at LWB over Young.

I've got a feeling Armstrong and Patterson start, but am braced for Young and Doucoure.

Agreed to let my Grandson go tonight, before the change of manager, so I shall be sitting at home tonight when DCL score his hat rick, gutted.

Haha that would be karma you mean old man

 

[GoldenToffee]

And we'll fight fight fight with all our might for the Moyes in the royal blue jersey.

Nothing can brace you to watch Doucoure for 90 mins.

We all know it ends with a Barkley/Onana winner with muted celebrations and apologies.

Wonder will we be seeing Trackie Moysie or Cardie Moysie on the sideline tonight

Barkley out for the game tonight I think

 

[TyphooToffee]

I'm not worried about Villa. Remember we were two nil up at theirs before inexplicably shipping three goals. With new-manager bounce I'm expecting a win tonight.

I reckon he'll wear brown shoes just to get @davek on board.
