Aston Villa v Everton - Match Thread

[chrisw1]

Ayew and Gabby are going to be pretty lonely up front.  This is the sort of line up I expect Pulis to come up with next year (shudder...)

Why shudder? What has Pulis got to do with anything?

I'm speculating he will be our manager.

I don't know if I can watch that lot.. rock bottom and we're trotting out five backs, Bacuna and Gabby.

On that line up we're nailed on for a 2-0 defeat. We'll huff and puff and keep Everton at bay. They'll finally score and we'll cave. Throughout the match we'll do barely anything of note in the final third.

That is a piss poor line up. It just screams damage limitation. I've rapidly losing good will for Garde. I appreciate he's been treated like pish, but his last couple of line ups have been absolute shite and we're still the most horrendously bad side in the top flight by a distance.

The board needs sweeping clear in May.
Remi needs to go, for his own sake as much as anything. He's given up the ghost and there's no coming back. You can't recover from being this hopeless. He's not fit for purpose anymore, if he ever was.

Fuck me what is it with managers loving Bacuna

Veretout is miles better. 

I agree with the formation if not the personel

Bacuna must have found the stash of compromising photos of senior management that Westwood must have to stop himself getting dropped.

He'd think he's above us. Which is quite a horrible thought.

Bacuna, Westwood and the property tycoon body builder. Does not augur well on the face of it.

Good to see Ayew back, at least.

[Proposition Joe]

What in the wide world of crap is that lineup/formation? Are we going to double up on Lukaku at the back there? Has Tim been invited back as guest manager for the day?

No, once the Baggies have sacked him I think he would jump at the chance to join us.  I am fearful our Board will also jump at the chance to hire him

They'll piss it. It'll be like they're playing with an extra couple of players.

[cheltenhamlion]

Is he fuck and we wouldn't want him anyway.

Hey, he scored a goal; don't knock it - he's in an exclusive group this season  ... ;-)

why would he leave a PL club for one in the Championship?

We wouldn't.  You don't think the Board will be tempted?

In the last few years we've given Everton some extremely easy games.

Because they will sack him in the summer.
