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

[BainesontoastNEW]

Just fighting spirit can't win a game...

They do realise we've just sacked the man who made us have such awful statistics?

 

[croatian blues]

With Big Dunc pumping the atmosphere can't see how can they play bad...

It’ll be a test of our players characters, if Dunc can’t get them motivated then we’re doomed.

Depends on who he selects in the starting 11...

If he picks Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Tosun, Rondon, Gomes, Delph, Iwobi or a combination thereof when the loss is on him.

Picking those bunch of player's , would show that he maybe just doesn't want the job. Although you never know with football. That bunch could win 3-0. Two for Rondon and the other to Tosun. Naw I'm just talking nonsense. You've just identified our deadwood and soon to be deadwood.
But who wants them?

Ferguson ain't that stupid anyhow. He must know who will be up for these next few matches.
But we could see Coleman ....Keane and Gomes lining up. But I really hope not. Patterson , Mina and maybe Onyango in midfield would do for me. We have to see what Onyango can do sometime. We know how our other midfielders play. Not great. So give this guy a chance. Gomes also I suppose if Allen is out. 4-3-3. Let's go. Let's rock and roll.

They'll be playing out of their skin to impress Cannavaro

If Allan isn’t back, Gomes or Delph will have to play.
Similarly, I’m not sure Patterson will start ahead of Coleman right now.
At CB, I presume Mina will be fit, but would probably play alongside Keane.
So two or three will almost certainly start.

 

[ramacca]

Nothing like an detested ex lfc player turning up at Goodison to stoke the fume and anger. Now that he's a manager it should intensify the atmosphere.

 

[WalterBecker]

Actually really looking forward to going the game, verging on excited

 

[terryefc]

The most played fixture in the top flight in England - over 200 times.
Don't Everton this up blue boys.

 

[BlueInNZ]

Quite a few things I'm excited about for this game, for a change. The most exciting is that Rondon won't be in the starting XI.

[Naylor56]

We have got to go with 3 in the middle of the park. Ramsey, Mcginn and douglas Luiz will walk over any pairing we put in the middle

 

[billyblue80]

Allan struggling will be interesting who he goes with in midfield

 

[billyblue80]

I'd like that too. I just think Dunc sets up with 442 this time tbh but maybe he'll go 433 with Rich, Dom and Gray up top

We shall see, if it's a 4411 that could work too with Richy dropping in. But Villa are strong in midfield we need to get some control and fight in central areas.
