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

[Tramps_mate]

Not sure it is . Formation does not look great does it? And if Allan can make the bench he should be starting.

Allan has been garbage all season..

 

[Clarky cat]

I wonder if Holgate's aggressive play got him the nod?

I hope his lack of positional awareness and aggressive play doesn’t get him a red

[Chegsy]

Villa line up extremely strong. Buendia and Coutinho in the wide areas will mean they will be looking to push on Digne and Cash. Can hopefully catch them out here and there.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Please be 442!

Its going to bea variant of it. Richarlison will probably play between the lines off Dom

 

[MACCA75]

Townsend will obviously be right midfield but I think this team would be more effective if he was part of a midfield 3 - as in second half at Wolves.

 

[Milkman]

Another body makes less space does it not .
Allan starting there instead of townsed offers better protection surely

Maybe, but there's no evidence we play better with all three of them. It also doesn't leave much option for when one gets tired/injured. The biggest issue is that you sacrifice one of Gray, Richarlison and Townsend, who all offer much more than an extra body in the middle would.

Lol @Yarrgh with an outrageous prediction making the news.

 

[Librarian]

Looks 442 to me

 

[blue to the bone]

Allan has been garbage all season..

He's better then gomes anyway.

 

[Thomasc]

Let’s be honest, forgetting the passion, when you look at those line ups it’s hard not to fancy an away win.

 

[MikeH72]

Lets be honest the squad is piss poor anyway - Rondon and Coleman are no worse than Holgate or Kenny on their day.

Just find it funny how its pretty a subdued reaction on here to the team news when the last few months its been a meltdoon soon as the formation is released never mind the team selection itself!

Well yeah because everyone hates the fat mess.

I hope his lack of positional awareness and aggressive play doesn’t get him a red

There is that of course

 

[ToffeeTim]

He's better then gomes anyway.

Was he (Allan) the player with covid last week? If so, makes sense he might not have 90 mins.

 

[UptheTofees]

Mina as the captain?

Love it
