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

[roy vernon]

You know, Garner in the middle and Ghana on the bench makes so much sense. Garner and Onana looked good together, I think it might be something to do with them both being able to control and pass a football and being young and fit enough to get about the pitch. No more right back or right wing nonsense with Garner please Mr. Dyche.

You probably won't be disappointed...

I'm gutted, I hate this competition.

Quite like that formation and Onana and Garner in the middle. Allows them to be more creative and look forward

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Good result. Back to back wins. Dom scores again. Now turn up and pump Luton please.

Bring this attitude and hunger into the league, and start it with Luton. Our attitude was great tonight.

 

[Toffeepot]

No VAR in this is there?

Is there not? I thought it was when the home team has the facilities
Maybe thats just the FA cup

Good win, let's hope we avoid away trips to RS, Arsenal,Chelsea or Newcastle in the draw soon though.

Could have been 5 plyers MOM - but Garner was excellent. Patts / DCL / Tarks / Onana honourable mentions.

and PICKFORD

Thought we managed that last few minutes brilliantly to cap a fantastic performance

Star performers imo were Garner, DCL, Onana, Branthwaite, JP and Harrison

Roll on Luton on Saturday

Jim Garner with the 10/10 midfield display

Shouldn’t have been that stressed at the end.

2 aways on the bounce, what sorcery is this??

James Garner is becoming the backbone of this team, always class wherever he plays.

Some decent lower league teams to be drawn against for the next round. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think we’d get through this one as soon as the draw was made.

Until we get results against Luton and Bournemouth I’m not saying we’ve turned a corner.

Why is VAR not being used in the Carabao Cup tonight?​

The EFL are keen to ensure every team involved is on an equal footing. With Football League teams involved and some playing home ties, it is deemed unfair to use the technology, which is only regularly used in the Premier League at this stage.

Not all EFL stadiums accomodate the technology, hence why it is not being used.

When will VAR be used in the Carabao Cup this season?​

VAR will be in use for the two-legged semi-finals, as well as the final at Wembley.

If an EFL side who do not have VAR set-up in their stadium make it to the final four, it will be installed there on a temporary basis.

Garner and Onana, a glimpse of what could be as a central pair.

Well done to Onana, I've been wanting to see him step up and control a midfield, that is more like what he is capable of tonight.

‘back to back wins’

Can someone explain what this means please?

 

[everton fan number one]

Not saying the fella who posted it is lying, but any fake DCL is injured posts should result in the banhammer being swung.

I did notice a slight limp myself, but it looked more like the natural niggles you feel after you've played a game rather than an injury per se
