Aston Villa v Everton Pre-Match Thread

[olaftab]

Everton have run themselves into the ground tonight, we'll do them next weekend.

Or they would have better higher level of match fitness than us?

[TaxDodger]

1-2. N'Zogbia 82. Baines 23, Jagielka 59.

[VillaSpen]

2-1 Villa.

Everton looked good against a United bak line that included two midfielders and a centre-back who hasn't played for months. A back line that was completed by Evra who seems to have aged 10 years in the last 6 months. Rooney seemed massively unfit, too. United were there to be beaten and Everton managed it. I'd fancy us for a comfortable win given their record at our place but we'll probably concede from a corner/free kick at least once a game for the rest of time.

Everton will be on a high after their win against Man Yoo.

But they have a dreadful record against us.

I'm going for a jammy 1-0 win, much like the game 2 seasons ago when Kevin Mac was in charge.

[Olneythelonely]

A loss. But an encouraging performance.

[Matt Collins]

I didn't realise manyoo had Valencia and Carrick at the back! Wtf!

[manic-road]

1-1 for me.

Even more reason for Fergie to have spunked 65 mill over 4 years on another striker!  He really is losing the plot and RVP was just a signing to show the other Mancs

Pity Gabby is not fit for this as they are very suspect with pace against them - we really need to play higher up the field and create chances

2-1 us - more in hope that expectation

[Rip Van We Go Again]

A backs to the wall 1-1.

[PaulTheVillan]

2-2

Everton looked very impressive last night, but I am reminded of the way we played in similar fashion against West Ham two seasons ago and swept all before us - then the following week got slaughtered 6-0 on Tyneside. Yes I know there's a difference between West Ham and Man U (West Ham went down) but you can never tell how a team is going to perform the week after they have performed well (or vice versa as in our case). Am I clutching at straws here?

Yes, 1-3 defeat

After last nights win against Man Utd they might take there eye of the ball a little bit so I'm going 1-1 draw Ireland scoring for us.

[JJ-AV]

1-1

Bent and Jelavic

[Concrete John]

Very hard to predict as it's not unusual for sides to have wildly varying results early in the season.  As has been mentioned already us beating West Ham 3-0 and then losing 6-0 to Newcastle is a prime example. 

So I'm gonna sit firmly on the fence and go for a 1-1 draw!
