Everton v Aston Villa Match Thread

[ChicagoLion]

Expecting hours of Sky Sports news featuring  our injury problems.

[Brazilian Villain]

Was hoping Torres would at least be on the bench. Won't be easy, I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win.

[Hookeysmith]

No Pau or Ramsey a big concern.

Meanwhile the sky wankathon starts with a live visit to the manure dressing room. They'll be covered in jiz by 4pm.

I've just turned off until KO...fucking sickening

I’ll take any win.

Don't forget your brolly to protect yourself from torrential down-pouring of aforementioned media jiz...

[AV84]

Our bench when we have a couple of injuries shows how far we still have to go with building depth in the squad.

[PaulWinch again]

I think this will be properly tough, we really need an early goal.

Agree. I think as good as Bailey has been, him and Diaby in from the start away from home against Dyche cloggers, could leave us a little light in the middle. Torres is a huge miss, gutted his not on the bench.
It does feel like we have to get the first goal here.

[Skerra]

I see the usual very small injury is turning into the usual Villa injurython again.

[Hookeysmith]

It will be tougher than hoped for but let's not forget Everton are not Real Madrid, in fact they are pretty crap and we are potentially joint top material

[Dante Lavelli]

Well balanced Everton team. Whilst we have better players I’m not feeling overly optimistic.

[Proposition Joe]

Their 50/50 player Doucoure makes in into the first XI, our 50/50 Torres disappears even from the bench. Typical.

[Risso]

Unai has said that Ramsey 'felt a pain'. So injured, again. FFS.

Torres not even on the bench, FFS.

[ChicagoLion]

I am a bit worried.
The injury problems are taking its toll.

[PaulWinch again]

Ramsey is having a very tough season. Pau being out again is a huge blow.
