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

[blue to the bone]

We go again . But this time maybe with renewed optimism. A win away to the hammers has sucked us all back in to thinking we have European hopes again. Everton manipulating our emotions is what they do best !
We were solid against West ham with mainly a back 5 but big Yerry is probably out.
Doucoure should feature and maybe James.
4 games to go this is the crucial one. A win here and we can dream again.
They beat us a few days ago but will be without our chief tormentor that night in Ollie watkins. Grealish maybe back though.
Carlo will have a better plan this time. Its rare he gets fooled twice. One of those plans hopefully includes kicking Ross the rat into the stands.
We moan and give out a lot . But just 4 more games left so come on blues.
Let's be having ye.

Draw at worst for me, we have kept 5 clean sheets in last 6 away games, we have nearly scored our most away goals in 12 years, while we have conceeded the 2nd lowest away to go with the 2nd most wins away, plus a big help that Watkins is out for villa but Grealish has been training since Friday so he could be a sub at worst for them

Watkins caused us so many problems last time, so he’ll be a huge miss

After the win at the hammers I think we have a great chance of 3 point's on Thursday longs we keep calm and play like we did at West ham insure we will win

 

[blueblueskies]

Think we will win this. Huge game.

I just take the view that all officials are crap

Defo caused Holgate many, and with mina been out, Holgate probably comes in again

Bet the tactics will be the same as against West Ham. Aston Villa know it and will prepare accordingly so stand by for a blitz of Pickford's goal. We will win 2-0 with two isolated breakaways.

Doucoure in, Mina out, 4 at the back, cant have these doing double on us

One of the four most important games of the season.

Is this at 'Home'? I thought we were 'Away'.

 

[Johnnytotal]

Can see a 2-2 here

 

[quasi modo]

Keep it the same as the West Ham game, obviously Holgate coming in for Mina.

Putting Doucoure in would just be rushing him back, and not worth the risk.
