Everton v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Legion]

Here we go (prays)...

0-2 Away win. PLEASE!

Bent 16
Young (A.) 90+

Orange dot will be used in the match thread should needs must. Believe. Up the Villa!

[luke25]

2-1 Everton, We'll go 1 up early on through Bent, they'll equalise just before half time from a corner, most probably through Cahill, we'll have chances galore in the second half, hit the post and then they'll get the winner in injury time

[Michel Sibble]

3-1 loss and we drop into the relegation zone.

Prove me wrong. Pleae.

I don't care so long as we play with some commitment and some quality.

[WikiVilla]

a gritty 1-1 Bent, Beckford with the goals

[Hammer]

Young (A.) 90+

Oh, go on then...

[hawkeye]

Its difficult to feel optimistic, I dont trust Houlier to pick the right team or system. I would take a draw now, but think we will get beat.

[Lobsterboy]

I'll go for a 2-2 draw.

Everton have reached 40 points so will hopefully be thinking about their summer holidays early whereas we cannot defend for toffee (no pun intended)

Ashley Young and Darren Bent to score for us after good performances for England but to be honest I could not care less if Gary McCallister's gran scored them both as long as we get something!

[The Left Side]

Everton 2 Villa 1, with the Villa goal coming at the death.

Bent will get our goal

[Chipsticks]

Gritty; Even; Contested.

Word that will describe our performance, to go with an unreflective 2-0 to the Toffees.

[Des Little]

I'd take a draw right now.  But is there a better time to play them?  I gather Fellani, Saha & Arteta are out and isn't Rodwell doubtful?

Come on lads, let's have a bloody go.

Oh and BTW - 4 4 2 please, with Young on the wing (crazy I know) and Bent and Ivanhoe up front.

And U2 are shit.

Massive win, 3-1 and it could have been more.

Young, Bent, Baker.
