Don't expect to have much possession.

[Toronto Villa]

Gareth Barry defending the counter. I like it. It's an attacking line up and Tonev will asked to get wide and service Benteke as much being played in a creative middle role. feel bad for Sylla, and can also understand Baker keeping his spot for Clark who is just coming back from injury.

Must admit that everton team looks powerful

Clark wasn't injured - he had a virus , I would have started with him as he's trained since Tuesday.

Fucking come on Villa perform well and win at home please.

[aj2k77]

Gonna have to watch the Baines overlap carefully and not leave the right back 2 v 1 repeatedly because he's got a very good delivery.

injured/virus what's the difference? He was out and not match fit

 Baker will be fine,apart from Westwood, probably the team i would have picked.Sylla for Westwood would have given us more power and srengthNot sure Westwood will be able to cope with Barkley.

 Clark is'nt an improvement on Baker.

[Dave]

A courageous team.

Hopefully not in the 'Yes, Minister' sense.

[eastie]

Well whatever we call it it's certainly a more positive move bringing tonev in and providing a bit of width - most of us have said kea and Westwood in the same team at home is too negative - so lets watch with interest how this develops.

[ez]

I'd put Sylla in to strengthen the midfield and put Gabby on the bench as he's not producing much lately.

[edgysatsuma89]

Big positive definitely not having KEA and Westy.

Agree would have preferred Sylla and worry about Baker. I just always think there is a penalty in him.
