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

[Lapeno77]

The idea that Richi and DCL are worth about £150 million between them is absolutely hilarious.

I can only presume that you're valuing DCL at £155 million in that equation.

Carlo needs a few windows, but will he get the time? The players might not all be his, but his selections and subs are a bit baffling.

Needs a few windows? Needs to resign. He's got no idea.

 

[Vortexgaz]

Yes, we need better players. If Rodriguez and Doucoure play today we probably win that. He's playing a team that's finished bottom half for years plus Allan and Godfrey tonight. It was still a tight game. Could have gone either way.

I don’t think we do win tonight if they would of had jack I think they would of hammerd us

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

We are 2 quality players from being a top team. One of the best managers in the world is building a team and there are cryarses wanting it yesterday.

No doubt we're frustrating as hell and without doubt crap teams have worked out that the best way to defend against us is to give away the ball on the edge of their own box and watch us pass it backwards to Pickford, but give it time lads.

That performance was not two players away from being acceptable let alone a top team.

 

[Mr PEN86]

We're wasted on here I tell ya. They should run a live feed at GP on the big screen with all our comments read out loud whilst they play. Need fans back in there to give them a kick up the ass. Really wish we were 11th or something so I'd feel less inclined to care. Played Villa.

 

[hallamblue]

15th in the home league table. I'm surprised we're that high up to be honest!

 

[Mkjjones]

Someone who's a little more energetic like Davies or maybe an attacking player sooner?

And then you will scream at Davies for being crap, or king who is an attacker and we’ll be where we are again here.

And bring on more crap like Delph? That’s the problem, poor recruitment.

But he didn't have to bring on Delph?

I mean the whole thing could have been avoided had he simply started Davies, like. And then guess what, you have an attacking sub to make in Gomes - who did that role well in December actually.

But, when it's 1-1, the game's drifting, you're at home and need to win to push on for Europe, the player you turn to should not be Delph. And yet he made that decision.

 

[Cool_Blue]

3 points from 9 home games? I’m speechless.

 

[deipnosophist]

Disappointing result...but unsurprising.

Actually, rather than NSNO, that should be Everton’s new motto lol

 

[Bristol Blue]

Let’s go away and win at leicester, Liverpool and arsenal.... and lose at home to Newcastle, Fulham,
Leeds, Burnley and villa!!! Knobs

 

[Deulofeumygod]

I think DCL and rich have let us down massively over the past 3/4 games with terrible finishing/decision making.

 

[BlueToff]

And then you will scream at Davies for being crap, or king who is an attacker and we’ll be where we are again here.

Davies should have started because he adds balance. We're a better team with him in midfield, for his many faults.

 

[Bluestar]

Richarlison really poor today.
