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

[Charles Hawtrey]

I'm not sure why Carlo expects us to play like its a cup final and then picks players who never have in all the games this season. Our attacking creativity was zero until Gylfi went off. The summer has to see some creative players joining the squad. Outside of James last summer was all about filling the gaping hole that was last season's midfield. This year has to be about creation of goals.

Absolute disgrace that performance with everything on the line. Wasters the lot of them. Can't wait to see the back of most of them.

If the whole squad was put up for sale this summer, I wouldn’t lose a minute’s sleep

Suppose it depends on your expectations. In my estimation they did. You may disagree and be happy 0-0 result and a soaring top ten finish. All a matter of opinion.

If 0 0 is a capitulation then you’re opinion is correct, else it isn’t.

 

[AndyC]

Shut up u mug all I said was we needed pace in the team and we still do

Er, that's quite enough of that thank you !!

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

gomes came on and could have had an assist and a goal

instead he ballooned one over the bar instead of feeding richy and then smacked the other straight at the villa defender

Did all the hard work with the turn and then blazed it over the bar it was criminal not hitting the target from that chance.

Sorry mate, my iPhone autocorrected that and I removed it straight away.

Let’s just move on as we both have different opinions. I get very emotional and upset after these stupid results.

fair enough

Basically means we have to get something against city now

Not beyond them but I would not put my house on it. Anyway got two home games before then so probably won’t matter anyway

Context matters. You're speaking about this specific result because you want to be pedantic. I'm speaking of their repeated failure to rise in the table to a position that matters. You'll notice in the post you quoted that I wasn't speaking only about this result. So in your mind I'm wrong, and in mine I'm right. Doesn't really matter either way unless you're looking for an argument to pass the time.

And win 2 home games which is unthinkable at the moment

 

[Somerset Blue]

Why do I raise my hopes...clearly we are incapable of making progress when it counts! I so want to be wrong but Europe ain’t happening next year is it?

 

[MisterJ]

One of those games really. We didn't play badly but we didn't play well enough to win.

There's no lack of effort but there was very little quality on show.

Tough to pick a man of the match as again, nobody did badly, just nobody stood out.

Typical Everton really in that a chance to go up the table was missed. Just a bit of a meh game.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

We take Siguurdsonn off,Gomes comes on and two opportunities Gomes muffs I'm thinking I wish Iceland had been on those, aaah Everton that lol

 

[Milkman]

We need to come back next season playing actual football, or I fear that it'll be the end of our love affair with Carlo.
