Merely saying it could be seen as arrogant to say 'Everton are crap so who are we getting in round 4'. I'm expecting Emery to have learnt from the Stevenage result and whilst still acknowledging the difficult adjacent league fixtures, put out a fairly strong team. That's still no guarantee, but hopefully our stronger squad and another 9 months of Emery's coaching (since Stevenage) will see us through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea is still showing as Saturday 23rd September at 3pm on my Villa calendar. EDIT - could move to a Sunday to accommodate a Thursday ECL game if we qualify for the group stage?

bannedfromHandV Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 If Everton are still struggling in the league when this game comes around they may well field a weakened team themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Tonight's team v Hibs will be similar to this match I would have thought. For all that we have matches to play - which is great, Everton are still bottom of the league with no wins or league goals. That's their priority right now. They'll be making changes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I guess it all needs to wait until after we qualify for the group stages tonight, only then can the other matches move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously want to go far in all competitions but also understand that rotation will be needed. Edited August 31, 2023 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have far less meltdowns since Emery took over even with the Newcastle result as framed it as Mings serious injury taking a toll on teammates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear. Meltdowns are no good for anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
