Match Thread Everton 0-1 Aston Villa - Wednesday 15th January 19:30

[Bryan+]

Everton win, the journalists = “ moyes works his magic, a fresh start”.

Everton lose, the journalists = “inherited problems, can’t fix this overnight,”.

I should be a journalist

 

[blue to the bone]

Watkins just slotted away his chance with ease while Calvert-Lewin just blazed his over the bar from 6 yards. Not good enough.

Watkins also missed a pretty straightforward chance first half too

Obviously crap result but there really wasn't much in it.

I don't put too much into them but I doubt we get those stats under Dyche

You know the old saying? "Lies, damn lies and statistics".
PS. A nice stat would be scoring a goal.

My nan could have scored Watkins’ chance and she is scattered on goodison park

I like the move from boring, sitting back loses to, more exciting, pressing loses. #progress

David Moyes has been back for 3 days. He has Dyche’s squad. Villa are a much better team. If you genuinely expect to see a totally different team after 3 days you, as the kids say, don’t know ball.

…..different manager, same mediocre players, same outcome.

Actually different outcome. Dyche knew the squad was gash, didn't trust most of them and set up defensively. Prob would have got a nil nil draw and everyone would have moaned like F@£k.
Proper solid investment in the squad needed or same old crap.

Just as long as she wasn’t involved in that defensive mixup that lead to their goal.

Exactly, you've got to create plenty of chances, even for the best in the business

Expecting to see night and day in less than a week is cuckoo stuff

Expecting to see much difference from these same shocking players is also cuckoo need players in or we’re reliant on 3 teams being worse than us again. Only caught the second half as I was out and what I seen was a bit more work rate but that’s not enough that’s the bare minimum I expect from the amateur lads never mind when it’s your job. Lack quality and it shows every week.

They're not comparable. DCL still has to hit the target, but his chance is far more difficult.

Lest we forget that Watkins missed a sitter in the first half with Pickers in no mans land.

Got to create plenty of good chances even for the in form strikers

yes very difficult to hit the target from 2 m. Normally he hits the keeper. The concept to get it past the keeper…..

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

More than a few 2/10 performances tonight. Villa didn’t play particularly well but were more than a match for our bunch of dossers.

The summer can’t come quick enough, squad needs a complete overhaul if we aspire to be anything more than perennial relegation candidates.

Lest we forget that Watkins is absolutely a million miles better than DCL.

Shocked.

Thought we deserved at least a point
