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

[Charles Hawtrey]

We could do with an early goal in this game - its not like we are not due one. Bring Davies back in for gomes and all could go well. I think we have much more ambition from the kick off with Allan in the team for some reason, perhaps he is a vocal leader or leads by example but it just seems to work. Seems like he hates to lose! which I like. the James/Sigurdsson interaction seems to be improving but it doesn't seem like we are getting the fullbacks to cross as much as we were early in the season which helps explain DCL's drought. I know this will shock almost everyone, but I could see Iwobi coming back into the first team for this one - never thought I would say that!!

Second villa game on Thursday May 13th at 8pm

 

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

Just have someone sit on McGinn and Villa are nullified of all threat.
Think Matty Cash is suspended for them isn't he?

 

[Bullens Rd]

As long as he doesn't do any of the following tomorrow, I'll feel very confident:

• No Holgate at right back
• No Keane anywhere
• No Iwobi anywhere

Absolutely got to win this game. Expecting Liverpool and West Ham to drop points this weekend.

Not sure I agree with the Keane bit but the other two fair enough

Think your phone has auto-corrected coleman to iwobi mate. Bin it.

I think we should let Iwobi carry the half time oranges.
But that is as close to the first team squad as I would allow him.
