….i’d fancy us a little with a full strength team as I think Villa away might suit us.

Obviously very tough in the current situation and unlikely to get anything.

 

[NathDogg]

Take a point right now.

Hope we can nick all three with it being away from home.

However, being realistic, The fella in the opposite dugout and his players will likely have too much for our manager and team.

 

[Cels]

I feel for the lad having to parrot his manager's words for him. We must be close of a deal.

On a personal level his season is alive in terms of maybe trying to edge into the England squad for the WC.

Europe is still on the cards, and Garner recognises that. We are something like four points from 5th place and six points from 4th place. Whilst there's a chance, even a slight chance, you don't just give up or stop believing. That said, I don't see us beating Villa

 

[Gilbert..]

Lol.
Tough enough with our strongest starting 11.
No chance. They're packed with quality and hungry.
We're neither.

I remember the 6-2 from a fair few years back, I can see a repeat except I'm not sure we're capable of getting 2.

Villa despite the results haven't been playing well as I work with a Villa season ticket holder who goes to both the home and aways. I actually can see this being a tight contest and not a foregone conclusion that we lose

 

[Kurt.]

Don’t do it to yourselves guys…. Spend the day doing nice things instead

Decent record at home though, don't they have 11 game winning streak at the min as well.

We will play for a nil nil draw.

They haven't been playing well at all but I think our morale will be rock bottom.

Dont let the hope kill you

…..my view too but they’re getting the job done on a regular basis. I’d give us a chance with KDH and Ndiaye fit and firing but little without them.

 

[Taifi gorm]

I've had a vision of Dwight McNeil chasing the Villa players around.

 

[Drico]

the usual pessimists!

we can fight and stand up!!

0-0

Realists.

For the last 31 years, the so-called "pessimists" have proven to be the most accurate predictors of Evertonian reality. The optimists have been, frankly, delusional.

What kit are we wearing?

Something very yellow.

Hope?
