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

[ToffeeDevil]

I’d go back to 4231 with this Everton team. Dele behind a striker. Onana and another in midfield. Gordon and Iwobi wide.

Agreed - maybe it was onana, but dropping that extra back line player made a world of difference in offense (shocker)

 

[street end]

We really didn’t.

We really did

 

[Lee Smith]

At least OG is off the mark. My £10 bet on him being our top scorer for the season is looking hopeful.

 

[Zezti]

Onana has to score there if he is the real deal. So close.

Koff WUM

 

[RomanReigns]

More attempts at goal than villa

 

[Mr PEN86]

Gray and Gordon are simply impact players to put on in the last 15-20 mins when the opposition are tiring. They're not starters

 

[BlueTX]

Doucoure involved directly in 2 poor defensive decisions that led 2 of 3 goals allowed on the season. Drop. Losses suck but the defending is miles better than last season. Don't care if he's raw/untested, play Onana.

Get. A. Striker. (or two)

 

[Tommy Chong]

FFS! It’s going to be a long season.

 

[bluelegend]

We got zero points because we had no number 9. It's as simple as that. Different team with Rondon on and we all know his limitations. Should never have started the season with out proper back up. Safe to say we would have at least two points if not more if we had a reasonable quality 9 starting.

Calling it now: we won’t beat Forest next week.

We will absolutely batter them …..

 

[Jokerdan]

I’d be asking the league why the game was ended so early here if I was Everton

Saved us conceding another goal, I guess, will be their reply.

 

[irishtony1878]

Harsh. Both efforts were decent.
Never had a great game but had a couple of chances that were all his making

If he wants to be the main man at Everton, those chances have to be taken.
If that was one of the RS strikers, they find the corner of the net 99 times out of 100.

 

[sdk]

Fanbase lacks composure. Sell.

 

[andy4efc]

Don’t think he was at fault we lost the ball in there half that had to do a lot but just walked past us

It was his fault. Gave them a 2v2.

It was also down to him we equalised immediately.

 

[Saint Domingo]

It’s annoying because Villa didn’t deserve a second goal, a draw would have been alright but that stupid second goal and Davies already being on a yellow just killed us.
