Aston Villa v Everton Pre-Match Thread

[Brend'Watkins]

Their form is as indifferent as ours but I think we will be more up for this one.

2 - 1 win, Bent and Keane for us, Fellaini for them from a corner no doubt.

[Concrete John]

So hard to predict this one as God knows where our form is right now:-

Bolton away - played well and won
Liverpool home - played crap (although I maintain the 1st half wasn't too bad) and lost
Arsenal home - played well and lost
Stoke away - played OK and drew
Chelsea away - played well and won
Swansea home - played awful and lost
Bristol away played well (against lesser opposition) and won

Unlike Arsenal, I don't think Everton are good enough to beat us if we play well, yet the above shows we ain't good enough to play crap and not get beat.  It all says 'draw' to me, but I'm gonna go positive and predict a good showing and 2-1 win, with theirs being against the run of play due to our own fuck up at the back.     

And Bent to get one!

[Mazrim]

Jagielka is out for them isnt he? That will hurt them, if we can capitalise of course.

They seem to get a lot of penalties and we are giving them away in every match it seems so expect that little scrag end Baines to score one from the spot in a 2-1 victory for us.

Bent and Ireland.

[KRS]

Both sides are inconsistent, so I'll go for 1-1 draw.

Last time Everton beat us in a league game Dixie Dean was in their youth side.

2-1 Villa. Bent & Clark for us, defensive error for them.

This would be my starting position, that or we just sneak it 2-1. They are as difficult to read as we are as you say

[PaulWinch again]

I can only see a draw if I'm honest.

Bent not even on the bench?

Sold.

[Dave Cooper please]

Everton are awful, okay so are we mainly but we're better than them.
3-0 Villa.

Everton are awful, okay so are we mainly but we're better than them.

I think you mean less awful.

[taylorsworkrate]

Will we be brilliant, ala Chelsea away?

Will we be awful, ala Swansea home?

Neither. We'll be average and draw 1-1.

[cdbearsfan]

Everton very rarely win at Villa Park. Villa very rarely win at Villa Park.

Draw.

[cdbearsfan]

Everton are awful, okay so are we mainly but we're better than them.
3-0 Villa.

Did your lot manage to injure any of them?
