The_Steve Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 1 hour ago, Brumstopdogs said: We normally (recently) match up pretty well against Everton so hoping we can get our first points on the board. My one real concern is who is going to step up and be the leader in defence without Mings. When the crosses come in and the corners come in who is going to be that main person who heads it out as Mings seemed to be that man. UTV! Dibu will make his voice heard today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I will leave about 1245, probably just after the england game has finishedm UTV we need to get 3 points today otherwise optimism for the season will be non-existent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Needs to be one of these 2 defences today: Torres - Carlos - Konsa - Cash Digne - Torres - Carlos - Konsa Emery got it wrong last week imo moving away from what we used basically all through pre season with the 3 CBs so I hope it returns today. Would prefer the 2nd one but either would be better than trying to have Cash play as a 3rd CB. We've done well against Everton since our promotion, should have more than enough to win today and get this season going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows we do need to bring in another head into the defence now with the colossal loss of Mings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 7 matches unbeaten at home, this would be 8 if we don’t lose. Everton haven’t beaten us the last 8 times we’ve played. Ashley Young playing for Everton after having left Villa. I think we all know how the story unfolds today! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I’m not feeling too good about today, all the signs point to us winning (our record agains them in particular) but records are there to be broken and we were a shambles last week really.

Justin Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Over from Ireland and coming to a match for the first time in more than 5 years, we'd better play to our potential! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Torres for Mings only change. Goodness me Unai. Two keepers on bench. No JPB. Large Jhon returns. Bertrand returns. Edited August 20, 2023 by Tomaszk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted August 20, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2023 Haven't been this nervous about a game in ages. For me it feels like an opportunity to show that last week was a blip and we're really on the right track. I know Emery has done an amazing job, the squad is better than it's looked for years etc, but there's nothing like a good performance and a win to prove it.
