BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 One of the few sides number we’ve had since we came back up. P7 W5 D2 They’re due a win then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Everton are very limited but Tarkowski was getting on the end of pretty much all their set pieces so that's the big warning which we need to actually train for at Bodymoor this week (given how lax we are defending corners currently). Beyond that Everton-Leeds was a very poor quality game which was won by terrible positioning from Meslier. As bad as we've been defensively recently we'd have to put in our worst performance for years if we ship 3-4 goals to this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) We have a good record against them but we are on a 3 match losing run and are leaking goals and they will have targeted this game for 3 points. This game is nowhere near as easy as it was a few weeks ago Dyche does pretty well against us too Edited February 18, 2023 by PaulC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it won’t be an easy one, I anticipate similar to the game at theirs last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Not sure what to expect from this. Suffice to say, I don't have high hopes. I'll take a point. We just need to collect points now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, we are destined to finish around where we are now, all we have to play for is not getting sucked into the shitshow at the bottom. Which means NOT losing to Everton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 We should have the majority of possession in this game . Hopefully we don’t create our own problems and that Martinez realises that we can manage the game on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 New manager. Full of confidence. What can go wrong? Horrible time to play them and their fans will be massively up for it. We'll need to be much better from set pieces and keep that trappy cretin Maupay quiet. I'd be very surprised to see us win here. Important we don't roll over for another team in need, as we know that's the Villa way. I'd keep the starting XI that started against Arsenal and see if Coutinho and Buendia can have any joy with Ollie up top. Need to control the middle too if we can. Easier said than done. Concede first and I really fear for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 When Dyche was at Burnley, we routinely battered them and didn't win. Think it was only one win despite being the better team in every game. We have to defend set-pieces better or we'll lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was the game at Turf Moor where we twice threw away a lead, but the other game that stands out was a 0-0 at home a few seasons back; we had nearly 30 shots, hit the woodwork a few times and still couldn't score. One of the worst displays of finishing i've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Must win at this point, so we can stop the run of bad form. Another defeat for 4 in a row could be catastrophic in a few ways and not just points on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
