ender4 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Unai might have one eye on playing Young Boys 3 days later so maybe mix it up a little for this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Will be popping down for this. Already looking forward to it with the half 5 kick off. Good atmosphere and can see the other results coming in. Should be the usual comfortable VP win over Everton, just hope a few of the injuries we have clear up. 3-1 and Ollie to get off the mark with Duran adding another at some point in the game.

I think it would be an easier match if they had managed at least a draw. Dyche will know he has 4-5 games to save his job there. I think they will be putting in the defensive work over the next 2 weeks. We will need to be patient and wait for our openings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branthwaite still a fair way off fitness apparently so very unlikely to be involved so it will be Michael Keane once more. We'll create plenty v them so Ollie will surely get off the mark in this if he starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 A 3rd Round League Cup win against John McGinn at left back is all they’ve managed against us since promotion. 10 league meetings in that time, 7 Villa wins and 3 draws. Would be hugely disappointing not to beat this lot convincingly. Be interesting to see how Unai mixes and matches players up now, with CL starting up and us having to get used to playing twice a week again; but I have no worries as he lives and thrives in these conditions. 3-0 Villa hurry up and score Oliver x3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Games like this scare me. Whenever a team is on a losing streak, I get more nervous the longer it goes on as the law of averages suggests that they'll win eventually (although, I said this to myself in our 2015/16 season and that didn't exactly work out...). Crazy shit happening aside, we're miles better than Everton right now and should really be putting them away at home without too much drama. Onana to score first, then Duran. Easy money, surely... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Surely Duran starts against this lot or Young Boys. Probably the latter but he has to be rewarded soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Duran will start v Wycombe. We should turn these over easily. Play Maatsen and Kosta and the rest of the team picks itself. Use it to start getting the first XI humming for the battles ahead and make max number of subs at half time/60 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This International break is the worst of them all. Game wise I'm going 3-0 with Ollie to get a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 3 Moderator Share Posted September 3 Poor Everton. As for selection, we may be surprised. We're about to go into a run of 7 games in 22 days. Effectively a game every 3 days. Then an international break for 14 days. So it'll be interesting to see where Emery prioritises and rests players, and whether we can get through it all unscathed.

PaulC Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Can never he too confident. Look at Sheffield United last season. More worried that Everton were 2-0 and in control until the 87th minute. Tim has been playing well for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Emery ball is far superior to what Dyche can serve up. This should be 3 points but we won’t take Everton for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm encouraged by the fact that they also tried to play for a draw vs Spurs and conceded four, though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
