Match Thread Aston Villa vs. Everton - Carabao Cup Third Round

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Didn't have much to work with tbf, lost the midfield with Doucoure and Gana subs

And it's his first season in this league, I'll cut him a break.

Adrenalin in a game makes you post without consideration.

 

[Toffeepot]

Get in!

 

[andy4efc]

Did he score it?

I have no idea!

Paddy Boyland not saying Beto has the ball in the net but ruled out. So I assume it was flagged up before he'd even shot?

 

[Goat]

Did he score it?

Nar Ref blew and he stopped, still had loads to do.

 

[Heratic75]

Great win but squeaky bum time at the end due to losing the midfield as soon as Gana came on. Onwards and upwards!

 

[Toffeepot]

Did he score it?

No linesman didn't wait

 

[andy4efc]

He was on

Which is what twitter tells me, but what actually happened...

 

[Goat]

No linesman didn't wait

No VAR in this is there?

 

[jonnyg]

Great result and building momentum. Didn't like our mentality for the last 15 minutes but we were really good before that.

Such a weird choice, they had no response to the gameplan we started with and we let them back in on us with the substitutions

 

[Tommy Chong]

Missed the Beto offside?

What actually happened? Twitter saying its miles on?

Linesman was picking his nose when Beto made the run…

 

[irishblue11]

Great result, didn't expect much before hand but was delighted with the performance. Calvert lewin makes the world of difference when fit, Garner brilliant

 

[ElGato]

Tara Villa.

If the lino didn't cack his pants Beto also scores and we win that with ease

Onana and Garner different gravy in the middle, pyah domination.

Let the media spin it as an off day for Villa, quietly go about our business in the background won't we

 

[Petit]

A fit DCL is twice the player of Beto

I think Beto needs to figure out how the premier league works and get a bit smarter. At the moment the game seems to pass him by. Needs to be more clever with his movement. Looks like he used to just upfront and battle with the centre halfs. He needs a bit more to his game.

 

[kleew]

Not a 90 min classic, 1st half we imposed ourselves and went attacking and probably should have had a bigger margin at half time.

We knew Villa would come out 2nd half and we defended well, just a shame that deflected goal gave them a boost for the last 10 or so.... Play like this all season and we won`t be close to that relegation zone, need to continue that, 6 out of 6 v Luton and Bournemouth is vital.

Dont worry, we'll win at least one of the two. Strength doesnt lie

He was through on goal if it wasn't offside
