nobler Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Unfortunately I think this'll be Everton's most comfortable away victory all season. 0-2. I still just about have faith that we'll improve the squad just enough by the deadline to have a fairly okay season, but as the squad currently stands, we're so lightweight upfront, as an attacking force we are non existent. Just scoring one goal seems like a monumental task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 As someone mentions above, the difference this year is we have a manager who will know our failings in the previous game and will try to change that for the next game. Everton played terrific against Man Utd and will give us a test this Saturday. but we're at home, our crowd will be behind the team and Lambert and this could make a difference. Everton looked very strong at the back against Man Utd and we'd do well to penetrate their defence especially considering that we couldn't muster up anything against West Ham - but the Premier League is very unpredictable. Can see a draw at best for us, but (as ever) will be cheering us on for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Everton - too big, too strong, too organised, too much quality, too good. A very comfortable 2-0 win for the toffees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yeah, my optimism has gone out the window already. As much as i'd like to predict a win, i can only see an Everton win here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 2 or 3 - 0 to Everton Toothless up front spineless in the middle leaking at the back Sums us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soobax Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Not very optimistic either. The best bet we have is with Lichaj at left-back and would possibly even bring Herd in to add a bit of bite to the midfield as Gibson/Neville/Feilani dominated the Man Utd midfield yesterday. Delph/KEA/Ireland is a little too weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks1876 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 As well as they played last night, still hold out for a draw or a narrow win (1-1or 2-1) We play at home hopefuly to a full stadium and the holte end will be at it's best for many a year.

jim Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Going to struggle again if what I saw last night is anything to go by. 2 or 3 players aside we have a poor squad that needs immediate investment or we will end up getting trounced all season.

Daweii Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 2-1 win to Villa.. Though this game is one the media expect us to lose, the fans aren't confident so it gives our side all the more reason to go out and surprise everyone. I think if we manage to beat Everton then we may be on for a nice season after all as Everton after their Man Utd result look a real threat this season.

jimmythomas Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think we'll lose. Newcastle are next, so hopefully we'll get a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I still think 2-1 win Villa then 2-0 win Villa against Newcastle.. I am vowing to stay optimistic all season so not one of my predictions will be a loss or a draw just so you know lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artetasgirl Posted August 22, 2012 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2012 It'll likely be a case of "after the Lord Mayor's show" for Everton, as per usual. Even more so with it being against you lot! Mirallas will likely play some part, Naismith may play a bigger part than Monday as well. Jelavić and Distin were both injured in Monday's game so we'll see how they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Everton are notoriously slow starters. Not against us though I **** bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Everton fan in peace here. Looking forward to the game at the weekend, my own prediction is a score draw. You always seem a bit of a bogey team and I can't remember performing to out ability at Villa Park for years. Though obviously the current Villa squad seems a bit of a shadow of the once great team. At least you have a decent manager in Lambert though, I felt really sorry for you being stuck with Mcleish. I've always had a lot of time for Villa so it was sad to see you being dragged down to level of Small Heath. The injustice... Anyway, any recommendations for pubs around/ near the ground?

Holtender_in_Sky Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 in 3 months ive seen Mcleish - despair Mcleish sacked - elation Lambert in - elation First Game - disappointing This thread - despair It sums up our entire history..... ....anyway 2-1 Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 After Saturday's inept performance unfortunately I can only see defeat for Villa. Fellaini is going to have a field day against our powder puff midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Fellaini will play up front practically as he did against Man U. That game for Everton was always going to be one of their biggest games of the season, first match at home and against their second rivals. Vlaar v. Fellaini will be interesting; the amount of times Fellaini has committed murder against us is crazy! He should have been booked against Man U, I wonder if he'll get away with it again?!

PussEKatt Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I am going for a Villa win. Although we lost last week the team have improved out of sight and I expect PL to have a big say in the game,especially at VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
