Match Thread Everton 0-1 Aston Villa - Wednesday 15th January 19:30

[edge]

Don't think Moyes has had time to really put his mark on this game.
Hopefully the players have a bit of spring in there step more freedom and want to impress the new boss.
Villa are a good side
Settle for a hard fought 1-0

I think the main thing is who he selects. If he gets the selection right, it'll set the tone.

Would love to have the players to say Moyes can loosing the shackles out the gate.

Im afraid we loosing the shackles on these some of our players be down the tunnel in the stands in the market for a cold rock hard "hot dog".

Hope he starts Patterson as part of the 5 at the back and he does well .. We need some luck and the players to step up… Big game for us and a win would be amazing … COYB

I’d appreciate if Moyes went with some actual bold changes out of the gate. Drop Doucoure. Drop Myko. Show that there is actually competition for places when players aren’t performing. Keep Armstrong in as the 10….

Pickford
Coleman Jake Tark Branth Young
Gana Mangala
Armstrong
Ndiaye
Dom

Give Coleman and young the mandate to get forward often, knowing if they only have 60 minutes we have subs to replace them. Let Ndiaye float and just get on the ball as much as he can.

Show some guts.…

Would love to see us try 343 but McNeil is the best option for that LWB role…the idea of Myko playing there makes me want to cry

I'd be happy enough with Young LWB instead of Mykolenko. Only thing is that would mean Patterson on the other side and not sure if Moyes would start with O'Brien and Patterson on the right hand side in a 343 yet

A lot of blue tinted glasses on here reminiscing about the glorious Moyes era. I fear a poor result tomorrow or even a draw will stunt the tiny bit of momentum from a new manager boost. Look at Forest. Great manager, lifted the team.

A draw would be fine with a home game v Spurs to come. A defeat would be deflating though

Coleman and Young as the wing backs?! Villa will be laughing to themselves for about 20 minutes in the warm up.

Myko is only getting dropped when another LB is signed although I guess Young could shift across if Patterson is selected on the right.

Unfortunately he must make his selection from the players we have so will not be able to weave a silk purse.

Agreed.
Mykolenko will start with a four at the back or a five.

If we go with five at the back Doucoure could lose out but other than that I think he starts.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

If he drops Doucs, I know things are looking up.

'Moyes Out' if so. There is no defence for selecting Doucoure any more.

Maybe we could see harrison on the left for once?

I woke up this morning having a bad dream. I know that because I got up for a pee at 4.30am. There were all sorts of issues I had to deal with first thing and I suddenly remembered that the Villa match was kicking off in a few minutes. I just didn't want to deal with that stuff while the match was on. The rubbish issues were still there, but imagine my relief when I saw that the match is tomorrow morning. I've dealt with most of the issues, but now I'm going to wake up in the morning stressing about the match. Who'd be a football supporter.
