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

[UptheTofees]

Let’s go boys

 

[hktoffee]

They don’t even know Godfrey playing LB Kenny RB .

 

[brian labone]

I don't think many of us would have had Kenny and Holgate in the team.

 

[Milkman]

Villa's line up looks good. I really rate that gremlin McGinn in the middle.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Defo 442, mistake do we think..yes

 

[blue to the bone]

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.

Not sure townsend does tbf. Let's see. I'm not too confident seeing that side anyway. Can see coutinho getting on the ball loads here as a 10

I love how that picture shows a gaping hole through the centre of Everton’s team already. Anyway, got to start getting points now so up the Toffees!

 

[LocalNative]

Tell you what, we need to rough them up and make it difficult. Coutinho and Buendia won't like a physical game and if we nullify them two then it will go a long way.

I do worry for Kenny up against Coutinho and Digne though.

Defo 442, mistake do we think..yes

Could be 433 with Townsend right of the 3.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Well yeah because everyone hates the fat mess.

Which shows how blinkered the fanbase is doesn't it?

Just because you like or dislike someone shouldn't get in the way of calling something like it is.

Benitez picked bad teams
Dunc has imo picked a bad team

The reality is the squad is crap and will be for the next manager and the one after that until recruitment is sorted oot.

 

[ToffeeTim]

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!

They may not be but you'll find it hard to find people who will not agree that Seamus, Keane and Rondon deserve to be dropped

Benitez showed no flexibility and refused to drop players for a series of bad performances. Instead he tried to.make an example out of one player. Pathetic management.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Doucoure and Gomes probably don’t fill anyone with confidence in a 2, but remembering what he got Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin to do against Chelsea should calm the nerves a bit.

 

[blue to the bone]

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

Maybe. But would it not be better start him then and hopefully get a good start and not be chasing a game when he comes on

 

[Tramps_mate]

The break down of the club on BT is embarrassing!!

We’ll see come full time if it was a bad team. We have 6 months of evidence for Benitez picking bad teams.
