Match Thread Aston Villa vs Everton. Saturday 14th August 12:30 KO

Who at the club is deciding that we don't need strikers? It's obviously been decided that we weren't going to sign a striker in advance of Richarlison leaving or getting one immediately after he left, or getting one in as soon as DCL got injured, and has been de-prioritised over getting other players in. Just utterly crazy, cannot believe it. And why isn't Lampard going off his head about it? He's taking the fall for the board here, and willingly doing so.

Too effin right it's clear we have needed one for 5 years yet the arrogance of the club not to sign one as a priority is ridiculous.

If ever a club deserves to get relegated it's us. Imagine entering a season aiming for draws at best. 0/2, harder games to come after today. Well done everybody.

That was a good job reading the play by Dele and then a horror touch

 

[PhilM]

Ref better be adding all this time.

With five substitutes, I suspect we'll be getting more and more injury time in ages or at least there should be unless they all double up.

Villa time-wasting now

Simple solution to stop this.

Never rated Gordon from the beginning, nothing player.

Careful now... I stated it last season and was called all kinds of things. Fact is, he stood out last season because of his effort and not because he achieved anything on the pitch.

I’d usually be pre-fuming that we’ll only see 4 mins added time. But quite sure these could play a further 5 hours without scoring

 

[Mrk]

Embarrasing

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Zero chemistry in this team from an attacking sense

 

[PhilM]

Huff.

 

[Runub]

Oh dear

 

[Lob]

And off it goes then. Same old.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Atrocious....

 

[blulouie]

Oh dear

0 points from 2 games, when are we worrying

If no striker who is fit to start next match is signed by Monday lunchtime, the answer is Minnesota.
