Everton vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Dave]

Guzan, Hutton, Vlaar (c), Baker, Cissokho, Westwood, Cleverley, Richardson, N’Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Benteke.

[supertom]

Decent side. Good to see Benteke starting and Ron back. I assume we'll have a midfield three. Glad to see we've got Zogbia in the side as it's a little more adventurous than sticking with Weimann, who works very hard but is all huff and puff. Zoggy will hopefully provide some spark.

[Dave]

Given, Clark, Weimann, Cole, Bent, Sanchez, Lowton

Okore still MIA.

[Richard]

Who is this Okore everyone keeps going on about? Never seen the guy?

[Toronto Villa]

No Grealish either. It might be me but I don't consider Okore missing any kind of real mystery or conspiracy. He has to work his way into the side like everyone else, and Clark is left sided which adds balance. If Baker goes down then he's a natural fit with Lowton also on the bench.

[Witton Warrior]

Looks like we will give it a go then.

I am wondering if Okore's issues are outside football?
We will probably never know...

[Matt Collins]

I wonder if Okore is 21 and has missed a whole season of football and has never really played premier league football?

[dave.woodhall]

Or that Baker's done too well to be dropped?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Ten men Villa again.

Why N'Zogbia keeps getting selected, I have no idea.

[Dave]

Why N'Zogbia keeps getting selected, I have no idea.

Does he 'keep getting selected'? Isn't this his second start since August?

[Matt Collins]

N'zogbia is an enfuriating inconsistent player. But he's the only player we've got who can dribble, and has much better quality than Weimann. I thought he was responsible for our brightest attacking moments in the last game. Baines hasn't been in great form and I see it as an attacking move

[UK Redsox]

Okore = Berson.

Upper deck at Goodison is just about the best view at an away game
