Match Thread Everton V Aston Villa. Sat Sep 13th. 3pm

[hetion]

Wonder if we'll see Rohl and Dibling on for Gana and Ndiaye later in the second half given they played the full 90 last night.

Apart from Pickford pur defence gives me the heebie geebies
O Brien Tarks Keggers Garner/ Anzou is not safe
We need 3 new defenders with Jarred if his hamstring isn't buggered.
We aren't going anywhere with those in defence and Mylenko is not the answer either

 

[Marc bolan]

They have a better striker, better full backs, better centre mids, attacking mids/wingers and centre backs seem a similar level. I also think Martinez and Pickford are at a similar level.

Yes martinez is a good keeper but is sportsmanship is awful went right of him
In the penalty shootout in the world cup final

We need to be up for this from the off. By us, I mean the fans. We're going to have good and bad games, but our job now is to forget the past and focus on making the new stadium bounce. We're far too on edge and ready to kick off.

It's feels great looking forward to us playing this week-end
Just looking at the fixtures all seven London teams playing
In the capital

….the most played game in top flight history continues to accumulate;

 

[maccavennie]

Be a difficult game, hopefully we do enough to get the 3 points and give the fans plenty to get vocal about.

Everton have played some good stuff so far but have also looked vulnerable at times. Villa have played reasonably well at times but have had a poor start results wise. So based on that I have no clue how this turns out but a win would be absolutely fantastic

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

I am usually a pragmatic optimist especially where Everton are concerned. This one gives me some trepidation though. Villa will see this as a potential turning point after their bad start I am sure, after 2 weeks to think about how they fix whats broken. Emery is nobody's fool. they don't have a 19th placed team and their Euro burden games haven't really started yet. We will be without our starting CB and LB. I could see us and the crowd struggling if we go behind early. All that said, if I was gambling on the result I'd go for a 2-2.

fortunately this will be one of the rare occurrences I can use my season ticket this season for this one. Looking forward to it. Given the state of the football world, a Saturday 3pm is bliss. Can’t wait.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Grealish doing something early to show his "current colours" as opposed to his boyhood colours would really get the crowd going.

I was thinking, someone has to be the first opponent to score in the new gaff, it may well be Villa this weekend, and then I wondered, where is Christian Benteke these days? No one and I mean no one loved a goal against Everton more than that guy. I think he could have gone out there in a wheelchair and still bagged.

Update: he won Golden Boot in MLS last year, boy does that say a lot

Tim Howard produced an incredible penalty save from him in one of the Villa Park games.
