Match Thread Aston Villa 3-2 Everton. Saturday 14th September 17:30

It almost feels like teams let us have a 2-0 lead just to take the piss out of us/Dyche.

It’s a sound strategy, give the punters value for money with lots of goals and an enthralling come-back to ultimately run out easy winners.

If only dom slotted that 1 in 1

Not at least getting a shot away with the time and space he had was abysmal
Really frustrating given what a good performance he’s had that aside

 

[BlueStevie35]

we are the worst team in the league, bar none.

Southampton say hi

 

[matty1878]

Sack him. Can’t watch this turgid [Poor language removed] any longer.

he’s not tho getting the boot

 

[Cels]

Come on Villa, finish these!

 

[maccavennie]

tbf ws have no outlet here and he’s trying to see it out which is suicide

It's too long to be holding on for a point mate.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

A late Everton winner against the run of play, please.

 

[Mase]

I was expecting to get smashed, so maybe I should stop complaining hahaha boooooooo!

This is a weird one because it’s not like his subs cost us today.

However, the general mindset of the team has cost us because it’s clear they were all shocked to be 2-0 up and sat back like a lower league team hoping to hang on in a cup tie.

Whether that mentality comes from the management or the natural anxiety of the players nobody can know for sure. However, in slight defence of Dyche it’s a mentality that pre dates his time with us.

if we somehow hold
on

We'd have all taken this score line at 70 mins before the game.

20 mins to hang on to what would be a very good point.

Doesn’t help being up 2-0, mate.

What are the tactics??? Sit back and soak it up??

I like to sit back and soak up a Brandy of a Saturday evening.

 

[Rita_Poon]

but he didn’t

no kidding. what should have been 3-1 is now 2-2. And it's not good enough.

 

[carolinablue232]

Tbh would understand it.

Think NDiaye just be goosed.

Then put Lindstrom on as he can control a ball and has a bit of pace on the off chance we try and spring a counter.
