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

[Mrk]

In all the talk about signing strikers (which must be the priority), we've massively overlooked the defence again. That centreback pairing is a joke.

 

[PhilRegan]

I don't see 3 worse teams nowhere near 3

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Never a pen that. He was obviously trying to get the ball and not his fault it changed direction just before. Pathetic decision for me.

Shady as you like. Watkins had turned the ball goalwards, Pickford brushed him afterwards.

How on earth are they 2 nil down and how was that penalty not overturned

Hi, welcome to Everton

 

[Tramps_mate]

I've turned it off. F this.. got better things to do.

 

[irishtony1878]

Embarrassing to be a blue these days.

 

[matty1878]

Wolves will beat us easily

oh lad stop it

 

[maccavennie]

Game over after 23 mins.

Absolute calamity.

What have they done in training ALL WEEK?

Judging by the first 20 minutes they've worked on absolutely nothing this week.

There's no shape, no pattern of play, square pegs in round holes, players just barely showing anything

 

[witchdoc187]

We're not going to win.

Bold prediction

Game over after 23 mins.

Absolute calamity.

What have they done in training ALL WEEK?

The game felt over in the first 2 minutes I thought, Andy. They just looked like they were on a completely different level from the start. It’s unfortunate.

So we’ve made 4 signings.

1 isn’t even even ready for PL footy
1 isn’t going to be fit until the end of September
1 came from spurs but apparently isn’t ready for this formidable team

The only one fit for purpose currently is a 38 year old left back

relegation coming

 

[PhilRegan]

This could get very ugly

 

[Tipp blue]

We really should have been relegated last season.

We aren’t fit for the PL.

And the year before.

I think if we add a decent forward we coast to safety this season. There's some rotten teams in the PL now. I honestly couldn't make a case for about 4 or 5 who I'd say have much less chance of survival than Everton.

Think we might need more than a decent forward based on this showing.

Odds on our first goal of the season? I’ll take home to Bournemouth in October.
