Match Thread Everton v Aston Villa - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[GoldenToffee]

Not 1-0, but 2-1 to the Blues of Everton, and that's aight.

 

[GraemeS1980]

I am going for a 4-0 demolition of the swarmy peaky blinders

 

[Marius57]

There is one glaring reason we couldn't get a high scoring win...

No striker I’m guessing?

Except we are still creating numerous chances and better finishing (impacted by having more confidence as a team) could see it happen.

 

[9LeagueTitles5FACups]

Pickford
Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko
Iwobi, Doucoure, Gana Gueye, Onana, McNeil
Simms​

 

[Yarrgh]

Plenty of grit and determination please Everton.

I expect not to be overly thrilled. But a tight defence and creating chances are all I think we can ask for at this moment.

2-1 Everton.

If we win Dyche will equal the amount of wins Frank " He gets us " Lampard has managed this season.

All without bringing a new player in.

Maybe Frank " He gets us " Lampard just needed more time.

No reason we couldn’t get a high scoring win. Winning leads to confidence and more confidence leads to better outcomes ie more goals.

Good point. The Leeds game was really high pressure. Absolutely needed to win that given Leeds are a direct relegation rival. Pressure still on of course but hopefully, as you say, confidence could be growing

Or maybe he was clueless

Shhhhhh he still has cultists who follow him.

 

[roy vernon]

Play to our strengths again. We are a big physical team, get stuck right into them early on and let them know there is nothing down for them. Not what we would wish for from an Everton team, but, needs must. We really need to just concentrate on winning as many matches as we can for the rest of the season, how that is achieved doesn't really matter.

 

[Bluebonic]

We wont see this, but it is what I would like to see on Saturday

Pickford,
Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko
Gana, Onana, Dacourre, McNeil
Maupay, Simms

I am pretty certain Maupay was bought to harrass the opposition defence and create space for DCL. Lets see if it makes a difference playing him alongside a target man.
it does my head in playing a lone striker at Goodison :/

 

[Cameron Manning]

Or maybe he was clueless

Let’s just say he wasn’t very good for us!!

He actually has the same squad that couldn`t win and also lost Gordon.....

Lampard did so much damage but the fans still backed him, just bizarre.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Without trying tosound negative has anyone seen our record v Villa?

Drawn something like 2 and lost 5 of the last 7 against them....

Absolutely a "bogey" team for us, which is a shame as my brother in law is a Villa fan.
