Everton vs Aston Villa pre match thread - Saturday, May 1 - 8pm

[Toronto Villa]

I don’t think there is a lot between Everton and us even without Jack but obviously they have the advantage with us missing him. They seem to have the same inconsistency as us. Can look great at times and just awful also. So much will depend on which version of them shows up. I hope we start Davis and use the other attacking players off him still trying to play football vs just lumping it up to the target man for 90 min.

I’ll go for an optimistic 2-1 win - Watkins and Traore.

[Risso]

They can go joint 5th with West Ham with a win, so I think they'll want it more than us. They haven't been in great form, but think they'll win 2-1.

[Skerra]

Who is this Jack that people keep referring to? I remember that a long time ago we had someone called Jack Grealish but, that one was the one that Smith said had a short term injury so, can’t be him, can it!!??

[Nev]

Everything points to a home win but as previously stated, Everton can blow hot and cold, as can we really although it's been the latter rather than the former this side of Christmas that has everyone wetting their knickers on here.

A change of focus from Smith would be nice, given that poor form it would be poor form not to pick Davis but I just don't think he'll do it. Perhaps he'll surprise me and get something of a surprise result.

1-3 and Davis to get the third.

You’re right Ger. Was looking at my time zone. Fixed

Has the home leg v Everton been announced yet? We'll probably hold-up the end of the league season and play it in June when the Premier League suddenly remember that it still hasn't been played.

Anyway...let's get Keinan to bully the balls off Yerry Mina and Ollie can hit home the knock-downs. 0-3 and Pickford to look silly in that slick new hairstyle that doesn't suit him at all.
