Match Thread Everton v Aston Villa - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[sageyefc]

Good player that Watkins, the rat played well aswell. Got a severe dislike for mings, like a lanky Ashley Williams

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Carlo needs a few windows, but will he get the time? The players might not all be his, but his selections and subs are a bit baffling.

 

[Mkjjones]

Our football is just so bad. What is our style? It feel like every team has a style and ours is just slow, sideways and uninspired. Delph as a sub honestly questions of Carlo need to be asked

WHO WOULD YOU PUT ON AS A SUB THEN???

 

[GwladysBlue]

Who comes in after Anchelotti goes and how long do they get before you want them sacked to?

When you get to the point ‘who comes in’ younknow the current manager has failed.

I’ll say this, we could get pretty much anyone who could deliver the same 8tg-12th position for less than half his wage.

He isn’t progressing us.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Another embarrassment..

 

[mahermi1]

What formation did we play

Not sure we were just chasing shadows all over the pitch. For people who slag off Gomes, any shape we had or passing movement departed with him. We need a faster Gomes.

Who comes in if Anchelotti goes and how long do they get before you want them sacked to?

Roy Hodgson..

 

[BlueToff]

Is he supposed to turn the cloggers Brands has signed into De Bruyne clones?

His hands are tied with this squad. It is very average bar James and Richarlison and DCL kn their day.

No he's not.

But he's supposed to be able to set us up to win games against Newcastle, Fulham, Aston Villa, Burnley at home.

Where was the impetus? Why did he play a wide open midfield, and then let the second half drift and bring on Delph – EFFING DELPH – when we were chasing a winner?

Why are we so consistently hopeless at creating good chances in the second halves of matches?

Why did he change something that worked well at least from an attacking standpoint against Spurs, to this dross today?

I'm not laying all of the blame at his door, but I won't lay it all at Brands' door or all at the players' door either.

He's cocked up. Again.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Fair play to Villa. Played very well and deserved the win. Dean Smith is a decent fella.

 

[Eggs]

We've simply just played a team that was ,quicker, stronger and wanted it more, we are simply not good enough, Pickford saved us a thrashing tonight.

...certainly the first 10 words of that post are accurate.

Ancelotti hasn’t found a way to win these games. It’s not so much that we got beat, it’s we deserved to get beat.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Not quite true that, he didn't sack them because they finished there. He sacked them because it looked like they might get us relegated.

As you thought we would in July last year.

What’s Ancelotti doing?

 

[BlueTX]

Everton continue to pay dearly for having little to no depth (missing James, Doucoure) and playing the likes of Holgate, Gomes and Iwobi.

Richarlison, tho, is the biggest disappointment of the season for me. Expected so much more from him and Everton have needed it badly.

 

[Darrenc34]

Blew it again. Not giving a man of the match. Well done villa.

 

[lesbattersby]

A total waste of space this team. Not a very likeable bunch, probably these last 5 years there hasn't been a player I'd of been annoyed if sold. In that time I've never had a favourite player.

 

[sladen90]

A list of players I'd be very happy seeing the back of.

Coleman
Holgate
Delph
Gomes
Iwobi
Sigurdsson
Richarlison
DCL


We could easily not finish in the top half at this rate!

Do one you mushroom
