Aston Villa v Everton Pre-Match Thread

[BedsVillain]

Feeling desperately pessimistic about this game! Just hoping for Dunne, Luke and Warnock to be fit and back. Don't hold out any hope for Gabby though!

Hope Ireland plays in a more advanced position too!

..........................Friedel............................

L.Young......Collins........Dunne......Warnock

....................NRC...........Petrov...................

Albrighton...........Ireland..............A.Young

.......................Delfouneso.........................

Will be happy with a score draw to stop the rot!

[IRISHPHIL]

i would have downing instead of alrighton

[Matt Collins]

Evalast I presume that team's a joke?!

[JJ-AV]

1-2 Everton

Friedel
Cuellar - Collins - Dunne - Young
Young - NRC - Petrov - Ireland - Downing
Gabby

Is how I'd go. Keep it tight and try and get a point.

On TV too so yet more embarrassment to come.

[The Walshmeister]

0 - 3!!!

I'm hearing that we don't have a fit striker in the club. The Fonz now has a ''bug''.

Gabby should be fit enough to play.  I fuckin hope he is, i really hate John Carew after his cowardly performance last Sunday

I must say it makes quite a nice change to see some more realistic score predictions on this thread than is usually the case, obviously induced by the current doom and gloom! I almost feel quite positive as everyone expecting us to lose this one, rather than the usual "4-0 to the Villa, Big John to get a couple" etc, etc type of prediction

[ninjaboab]

with all the doom and gloom around at the moment, surely the downward spiral has got to stop at some point?! hopefully the players have all had a good kick up the arse at least or a p45 waved in front of them for motivation and they'll come out and play like we all know they can - think positive!! 2-1 to villa

First post on this thread-as I always think it is unlucky. 1-5 is the probable score line, so maybe I can jinx it the other way.

Is Warnock out ?

74.3% Everton win??? Bright little rays of sunshine aren't you guys? Albrighton to get the 4th minute of injury time winner for us.....

[Des Little]

Sorry but I just can't see anything other than another defeat.  0-2 and a virtually empty VP at the final whistle.  A fresh start witha new manager thereafter.

[The Situation]

I bet Kevin Macdonald picks Heskey and continue's to play Petrov next to ireland in central-midfield.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

I'd play:

Friedel
Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock
Albrighton NRC Ireland Downing A.Young
Gabby

Mac will play:

Friedel
Young Collins Dunne Warnock
Petrov Ireland Downing
Gabby A.Young Carew

And we'll get battled out of it in the midfield.
