ASTON VILLA (1) vs (0) EVERTON - FULL TIME

Nervous is the word that is on the lips of all Everton supporters. We have all the players required, we have the support of the crowd. But do we have the zeal to get all three points. Rodwell is brought into the squad together with Felli back in midfield. Beckford is still preferred to Saha, which I wonder why. But I'm pleased that Bily is not playing.

Bainesy should have taken the shot in the 4th minute. Jinking run into the penalty area only to be stopped by the opposing defender.

A total disaster for Everton after doing so well for the first eight minute. Felli mis-cleared the ball that opened a gapping hole which the Toffees defenders could not plug. Villa 1-0 Everton. They are down so early in the game. C'mon! Everton should start dismantling Villa.

What luck! Pienaar hits the post in the 16th minute!

Everton has all the impetus but the ball is still not in the net. What must they do to score a goal.

The first 10 minutes of the second half yield little for Everton to cheer about. To make it known, Moyes is finally making an early change. Saha is on for Beckford in the 55th minute. Why is Moyes always using him when he has not even proved himself in the top flight soccer.

Howard, had little to do until the 58th minute where he had to claw away a sure goal. Soooo close for Everton! Saha so nearly scored in the 59th minute.

So close for Everton once again. A glancing header by Rodwell so the ball just roll past the upright. It was really that close. Oh no, Rodwell's injured and is replaced by Coleman in the 70th minute.

Hibbo out and Heitinga in - 80th minute.

Terrible, terrible game. Even after Everton had played so well. Another player to put away - Beckford. Why did Moyes not play Saha? I really

Score: Villa 1-0 Everton
Scorer: Forget about it!
Assist: Nvm!
Subs: Saha, Coleman
