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

[Daytripper]

I would take a draw to be honest

 

[gonetomorrow]

I hope Dobbin gets on. He's speedy.

 

[Nymzee]

Surprised to see McNeil on the bench. If he's fit, he should start IMO.

There's being fit to be involved and being fit to start.

 

[HowardsWay]

There's being fit to be involved and being fit to start.

He shouldn't be in the bench if he's not fit. We need warriors out there.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Hope that horror McGinn gets an early yellow. Always seems to have the extra bit between his teeth v us. Dirty git

Indeed. Horrid creature.

But massively effective footballer and would improve many a starting lineup.

 

[edge]

Decent team hope we get a decent result.
Got a feeling we will get a pen today .

 

[Nymzee]

He shouldn't be in the bench if he's not fit. We need warriors out there.

Again:

There's being fit to be involved and being fit to start.

Can see the pitch there. Refuse to believe you're at Goodison.

 

[vagablonde - kopite]

Villa is our bogey team, no matter what happens or what is going on we rarely beat Villa in the league.

Last time we beat Villa: 01/03/2016

Everton last 9 v Villa
Wins: 0
Draw: 2
Lost: 7

In the Premier League era the teams have met 57 times since 1992, Everton have won just 13...

Thats awful, they have been no better than average most of the time aswell.

 

[HowardsWay]

Again:

Child.

 

[Milk]

Haven’t won our first New Years fixture for the last five tries … and I doubt that will change today. But stranger things happen.

Need the 3 points to offset Monday’s deduction … or do we ?

1-0 to the blues

Like Harrison Reed, seems to turn into prime Pirlo when he plays us. Hate him.

Would take a point today, stop the rot and get something on the board.

Bailey is pretty much guaranteed a goal, always does well against us. We need Danjuma to work hard defensively and Onana to show up if we want something out of this game.

Not just defensively, DCL has been missing this season, only Nunez has a worst converstion rate.... just look at the state of the goalscorers list! It is about time our striker turned up and was counted. You will see from the list below there is more Burnley and Luton players than Everton players.

Our team is set up to get balls in the box, we must deiver 10 crosses or more PER GAME yet DCL and Doucoure have 9 between them from 20 games! No problem with Doucoure but DCL needs to shape up or let Beto have a run....
