Moyesy says: "If you concede goals like we do and can't score at the other end then it's a recipe for disaster. We didn't clear the first one, there was a slip in the box and maybe the goalie could have saved it as well. I think when it leaves to goalkeeper's foot it may have been off (2nd goal). But you play to the referee's whistle, that is what you teach children. Our centre halves have got to get back and not wait for the linesman's flag. It wasn't a hard decision (Yakubu). We have good players. I pick what I see and I will continue to do so."

What did you think of the match? Did Moyesy get his team selection and tactics right? e-mail info@bluekipper.com after the game.

* Oh dear, where is Everton heading towards? The league campaign's been stop-start if not shaky, and the UEFA Cup had not begun in the most auspicious of starts. I'm worried, I'm really worried. I hope sincerely with the return of Cahill and Vaughan, things can only get better. Regards
Jiing Yih. Singapore.

* Neville to right back, Hibbert OFF the pitch. Also why two defensive midfielders? Fuck it why not have four...come on Moyesy why bother with
new signings if you're not going to use them. Blue Bill Cannie.

* Complete shite. Every year high hopes and every year this shower of shit calling themselves Everton f c embarrass not only themselves but the people who go along to the games week in week out. You should all hold your heads in shame. You were all shit today and wednesday. UEFA cup, don't make me laugh. Chelle Brad.

* Score to be 2-1 to Everton, AJ and Lescott with the goals!! Dan Ferrie

Moyesy will be utilising his squad to the full over the coming weeks as the games come thick and fast. Mikky Arteta and Tommy Grav should be fit and I would expect one if not both of them to start. Tim Howard is still doubtful, but Kepler in goal has proved more than an able deputy for Moyesy, and there should be no problem in the goalkeeping department. Moyesy though has got concerns at the back, as no clean sheets can be claimed form this season. Me thinks Stubbsey may get a run out sooner rather than later, but it could be at the expense of Hibbo, with Roger slipping into the full back spot. Maybe, maybe not, but with the goals against column not looking to hot, changes may have to be made. Stephen Pienaar should also be ok, but Moyesy may go more defensively against Villa, so the South African may find himself on the bench. Everton looked a more livelier prospect when Big Vic came on against the Mentalists, and it would not suprise me if he started in place of The Yak. As they say football its a funny old game!!

Villa against the Blues is the most played fixture in top flight footy and the sides are meeting for the 185th time, Sausage claims to have seen most of them.

Skipper Phil says: "The games are coming thick and fast and that is what we want. But you won’t hear any moaning from the lads. This is exactly the type of position that we want to be in. We want to be involved in big matches in midweek and big matches at the weekend. Hopefully we can pick up. We are looking to make Goodison a fortress again but, above all, we need to start keeping clean sheets. That is important as it is something we haven’t done this season. But it’s not just down to the defenders. It’s up to the midfielders and the attackers to chip in. We have got to defend better as a team. I’m sure it will come good. We will need to be right on it from the start, though, against Villa.They beat Chelsea in their last home game, so it shows you the quality of the opposition we are playing. There are group of teams in the middle of the table who are capable of beating anyone and Villa are firmly in that group. It should be a good game. We have got to make sure we get our legs back and recover. We have got to show that we are a good team. The supporters come to watch us in their droves, home and away, and it makes you proud to play for this Club." (22/09/07)

Defeat at Shittteeeh followed a fantastic home win against Chelski, so Villa like ourselves are the perennial under achievers. On their day they can mix it with the best, but also on their day they can be well shite. Lets hope its the latter Villa who turn up on Sunday.

John Carew will lead the Aston Villa attack despite a nagging groin problem and forward options have been cut as Marlon Harewood has a knee problem. Centre-back Curtis Davies. who is yet to make his debut, will have to be content with a place on the bench.

Aston Villa from: Carson, Mellberg, Laursen, Knight, Bouma, Agbonlahor, Barry, Reo-Coker, Young, Moore, Carew, Taylor, Davies, Petrov, Maloney, Gardner.
