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

[Zatara]

I do hope its a fitness thing with Patterson & Mykolenko. If he's dropped them out of spite then that's very stupid.

Seems clear Mykolenko needs to adapt to the league while Patterson hasnt made his debut yet so not the time to chuck him in.

If it is 442 then the middle of the park is a worry, if it’s 4231 I can see that working really well

 

[xena]

I would have had Allen instead of Townsend and Keane instead of Holgate .But im happy enough with that team hopefully the Dunc effect gets us a few results.

 

[Abertonian]

Keane and coleman have been needing dropped for months

 

[Tony1985]

Looks like 433, I’m not arsed about formation today, just want us to compete and win. COYB

 

[The Trinity.]

Last two games two assists ..... plus he can defend .....

Still want to see Patterson get his chance soon. If not , then I'll be wondering .......why not?

I can’t believe we are going 442, I think it will be more 451 / 433, with Richarlison dropping off when we don’t have the ball to make a 451 or Richarlison on the right with Townsend playing as AMC

Ferguson likes 4-4-2.

Would be suprised if it isn't tbh.

 

[Blueclouds]

At least Keane dropped

 

[Curtis]

I know his options are limited but not thrilled with that lineup it's basically a Benitez setup

 

[Zatara]

Only worry for me is Gomes

 

[nsno-chris]

Midfield is a massive worry

 

[chicoazul]

Aston Villa are doing us today and I’ll be coming looking for you bad PASHYUN merchants.

 

[Curtis]

Only worry for me is Gomes

I'm concerned about Kenny as well

 

[Simon Buttle]

I know his options are limited but not thrilled with that lineup it's basically a Benitez setup

Agree, I don't think it's the best lineup of the players who seem to be available, can only assume Dunc has some sort of pre drilled plan.

Don’t like the look of that team
