Yeah, it never helps like

Especially when I thought O'Brien did well enough after coming on

As someone very happy to blame Dyche, this one can't be levelled at him.

I did like your shortlist though, it reminded me of when I smoked a lot of crack too

dyche doesn’t have a clue mate. We have a RB on the bench that should have been brought on.

Starting Keane is criminal same with Young.

Leaving DCL on his own.

Just poor tactics

Just home from a conference. The WhatsApp’s from my mates told me the score before I had a chance to check. The match stats make for grim reading.

Would a draw or win have been a total smash and grab?

All day long Villa we're by far the better team. However, we had chances to win including DCL hitting the bar. Either result would have been unfair on Villa.

Ask Moshiri if he wants to try to sell a championship team in a few month? Perhaps not?

he did it with FL/ and the waiter

so you tell me

He went round the keeper for the first. He had beaten him. The fact he hasnt got eyes in the back of his head means he didnt see the defender coming. One off the bar possibly should have scored but he was under pressure and not even sure the defender didnt get a touch. He was excellent today. Non so blind as them that can see. Can only see us getting better going forward when Ndiaye and Jesper get fit. Thank Christ we didnt sell Branthwaite.

He saw NDiaye unmarked to his left though why he didn't square it I just don't know

Is it me or does Pickford play way more long balls for Everton compared to when he plays for England? We just kept giving them the ball, over and over again. Dyche has to go.

Thanks mate.

Horrific go throw consecutive 2-0 leads away. Ffs…

That what happens when you know you’re playing a team more likely to crumble than one of Aunt Bessie’s puds.

Your right so was carragher keep passing it back to Pickford your asking for trouble. Even if DCL put that one away which hit the bar I'd still reckon we'd of lost. Switched it at that point TBH..

 

[funkygibson]

When we had those couple of passages of play of one touch football, where we opened Villa up easily, does anyone else get the feeling dyche is on the touchline ranting to Phil neal 1 & 2 “what the hell are they playing like that for”?

Thought that was their lot?

 

[Street end man]

…even at 0-2 I got the impression Villa didn’t panic, they believed they’d still win.

Last season when we scored first we could generally keep the opposition out, that’s a big concern. Posters will again vent on Keane but wide defensive areas is a major concern and after a transfer window, Young simply shouldn’t be a starter. Tarkowski’s form is also poor.

If Branthwaite doesn’t make a huge difference we are a dire defensive unit after being so good last season.

Agree with all that. Saved me typing.

He had two clear cut chances and couldn't hit the target , that has nothing to do with team set up.

He had his best season under Ancelotti, playing a more offensive style of play.
