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

[Brownie]

Sadly predictable. Will we ever have any players who can handle playing away from home ever again?

 

[Bebeto]

With dcl up top we will never be a top 6 side...no chance...we are missing gana terribly...no energy in midfield to break up the play...and before somebody mentioned gbamin, I am not sure if it would have been different with him on the side. Let's hope we have a better second half...

 

[DualityNSNO]

I'm enjoying Mina winding up just about any opposition player that's come near him so far this season, proper snidey behaviour that I can get on-board with.

That's the only positive so far tonight and I can see us conceding more.

Basically he's what we expected Funes Mori might be, but actually decent at this football thing.

Why is it Everton always seem to give a struggling striker their first goal ? After a good start, plenty of possession, tailed off badly, guilty of giving cheap possession away far too easily, Gomes, Lewin and Richarlison all guilty of it.

Not enough shots chances made when we were in control. Mina been our best defender, Iwobi and Kean on from the start please Silva, need speed and drive in the middle and something else up top.

The great thing about friday night games is it only annoys you for a few hours, not the whole of saturday.

I woke up at 4am so my whole day is ruined

 

[Blue Juice]

No changes til the 70th minute

 

[Stan Lee Park]

The blame for this rests with our super-cautious manager. He has to go.

 

[Khalekan]

There was people saying that we didn’t need to bring in a replacement as his interceptions and tackles would be spread across the team, madness.

Anyway, we can’t play that badly in the second half so that’s a bonus.

Ya wanna bet

 

[Johnniepk]

Up to their goal and first chance I was thinking it was all going well. Then the heads have gone down. Once again it's a mental thing. A few thought we only had to turn up and are finding it hard to get going now.

 

[toffeejack]

We go forward and it all slows down to snails pace with too much sideways and backwards passing and not knowing what to do with it. Villa get the ball and half of their players are bombing it 100mph forward with very few passes to try and get something out of it. This has been a problem with Everton for about the last year, well since Silva took the helm tbf.

Yeah, and we have the players not to be like that. I don't think it's his fault tbh, I mean he wouldn't tell them to stop and be stagnant, they just have no composure.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Gomes utter rubbish that half. Schneiderlin showing him how it’s done with the ball over the top for coleman

 

[cromofo]

Gomes absolutely gash. DCL as usual can't shoot for crap.

Make changes, Silva

 

[Bob Latchford]

So disappointed.. poor performances all round. Getting fed up with Schneiderlin, for all the passing range and ability he has, he never passes more than 5 yards.

There’s 4 or 5 having a worse game than him

 

[bluetad]

DCL is not good enough, at this level you have got to finish those chances. Late sub at best, let's hope Kean is better.

 

[irishblue11]

DCL offers nothing, gylfi poor, gomes poor. changes needed at ht
