Aston Villa vs Everton Pre-Match

[paul_e]

3-0 Rogers, Watkins and Ramsey

[ASHTONVILLA]

5-0 Onana, Watkins double, Ramsey and Rogers.

I'd go with

______________Martinez

Nedjelkovic__Konsa___Torres___Maatsen

_________Onana___Tielemens

____Jaden___Rogers____Ramsey

___________Watkins

I'd give both Jaden, Duran  and Barclay a game second half too.

No place for SJM?

and that Jaden lad will be knackered...

I can't remember which of the names he dropped so playing it safe, don't want a five page pile on!

I don't think McGinn has started particularly well this season, and I want us to rotate more now we have depth. We need to keep them all match fit, and Everton are rubbish so good opportunity to rest him. I'd be tempted to start Barclay over Tielemans too, but that might be a change too many.

If we can't beat this Everton side at home we should do the honourable thing and resign from the league.

Isn’t Konsa injured?

Isn’t Konsa injured?

He wasn't when anyone before you posted on this thread and hopefully it's minor enough that he'll be fine to play anyway.

[VillaTim]

Isn’t Konsa injured?

Walked gingerly off the pitch with what seemed like a fairly innocuous knock. So we will probably see him again next March .

[Garyth]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Emery starts several players that haven’t been away with national team squads - Barkley in for Onana or Tielemans, for example. It feels like a game to test out the much vaunted squad depth, to me.

[rob_bridge]

Their defence seems to have gone to pieces this season so hopefully that continues.

4-2

[PaulTheVillan]

Routine win

3-0

Onana, Watkins & Ramsey.

[darren woolley]

I can see us winning 2-0.

I'd agree as be good also to have our strongest team available for next Tuesday.

[VillaTim]

Go strong vs Everton but then start making changes on the 60 min mark

[Dick Edwards]

I’d also not be surprised to see Barkley start, and maybe Maatsen too.

[Nii Lamptey]

Give Tielemans a rest and go with ex-Everton midfield duo of Onana and Barkley?

[Risso]

Nah, play our strongest team. I think we've not really hit top gear yet, and defensively at least we need to start getting it together, and that means playing our first choice team. Onana and Tielemans please, Barkley can come on when we're 3-0 up second half.
