TRO Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) 23 hours ago, Tommo_b said: Amazing how differently we as fans can see stuff, the only game I see us losing is Man United. Granted I am an optimist by nature. But I mean Everton, a bit meh, Spurs just got tonked by Crystal bloody Palace, wolves another meh team, Arsenal pretty below par only just beat Norwich and West Ham, no lingard so not so much to fear. I am an optimist too.....but when someone points a gun at me, I run. Optimism is great, but it has to be backed up with substance, blind faith is on par with pessimism. Aston Villa can beat most teams, but so far our achilles heel has been our selves, we are the architects of our own set backs. A fully functioning Villa, with optimum concentration and desire, is a handfull for any team......We have to apply ourselves better. Last week ,we showed some good signs, baring the brain farts,they have to stop. Edited September 15, 2021 by TRO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I'm very confident about a win here. We'll be full strength and full fitness for the first time this season and regardless of how Deano decides to have us line up, we'll have a plethora of options on the bench to make changes as the game goes on. The team will be desperate to get a result now that they're all back and there are strong players on the bench who will be challenging for a spot in the team. 4-1 to the mighty Villa.

est1874 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Honestly think we should be getting a win here. 2 x Emigos returning, Sanson available (imagine that!), Bailey arguably ready to start, Watkins back in shape, and now Calvert-Lewin out for Everton with a broken toe. If we can't beat these, I genuinely can't see us spending any time in the top half this season. Prediction: 2-0 us. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Law of averages means we win. Everton unbeaten and havent enjoyed it at VP recently. We are full strength. Come on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Must get a point here. A good performance will very likely get the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. This has been one of our biggest problems for many many years. The only way to combat it is with mental strength, focus and determination. We can't continue to shoot ourselves in the foot against teams we think we should be beating or indeed teams we aspire to be like. We are getting better though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Everton is a proper club. The fact that it's the most played game in the top flight makes it even more special to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with Buendia starting and Ramsey on second half. Sure feels good to get Martinez back though. Edit - also Ings nailed on to score given he didn't last game - as night follows day.

Nicho Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Im confident about getting a win here, got a feeling. I think we might see Watkins on the left, Bailey right with Ings up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 we need the win really, and I think that hunger might give us the edge, but if everton score first we'll be very twitchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted September 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2021 not a must win, but there's a 'must not lose' element to this. a loss would likely mean we will end up with a 5 game losing run including the cup wednesday which is never good regardless of who you've played 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted September 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2021 Make no mistake Everton are a decent side. I think people are underestimating them here. They are unbeaten, and know how to pick up points. Rafa knows his onions. That said depending on which Villa turns up, i’m hopeful we can scrape it. But it will be close. Only one goal in it I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denaldinho Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Actually getting some respect on Everton forum "Villa should be much higher up the table than they are, they have a cracking squad and one of the best youth setups in the country" That's one quote - Anyway, 2-0 home win i think.
