Everton v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Hookeysmith]

I think we have seen the last of Olsen.
Strange to drop Buendia but maybe a more hard working midfield is though as being more appropriate

If we stand up to the physical challenge ten we should have enough. We need to score first as I don't see them having many goals in them

[Small Rodent]

Two sodding keepers on the bench again. Mental.

I feel safe now.

[Axl Rose]

Ramsey and Bailey shouldn't be starting.

Maupay for them - urgh

You know what you get with a Dyche side. Weak on flicks, strong on dirty tricks.

Thank Christ are able to select two backup goalies again.  My heart stopped every time Emi feigned injury last week know we only had 1 replacement!

[Rigadon]

That Everton team looks poor on paper.  Bailey needs a good game. 

Lacking quality but it looks hard to beat to me. They’ll be physical and we can’t afford to be bullied.

Agree.  It will be a tough battle, but cut out the silly mistakes and we should really be beating this lot today (or at least not losing).

Neal Maupay has scored once in the last 27 league games... We know what happens when the Villa roll into town.  Pile on your money now.

Not happy about Buendia being dropped and Traore not starting. Very negative team.

4-2-2-2 to choke their narrow defensive block and allow for overloads at full back?

[Villa Lew]

Big blow about Phil, has been in top form recently, expecting a low scoring game going 1-1.

[Skerra]

Maybe there’s a new rule that says you can play at least 2 goalkeepers at the same time?

[Monty]

Yeah I'm not expecting to be thrilled by this one.

[enigma]

McGinn and Ramsey out wide? We desperately need some proper wingers.

[Dazvillain]

Not happy about Buendia being dropped and Traore not starting. Very negative team.

Yes I thought the same initially but when you analyse Dyche teams with physicality and set pieces I can understand why Buendia wouldn’t start today .
I think it’s quite refreshing that he picks teams to suit opposition and tactics not just those in form for the sake of it

[OCD]

Duran is indeed in the squad again. sky sports app didn’t have him in there initially.

Didn't that happen last week as well?

They've got his name down as Palacios.
