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

[lungo]

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.

Yep Brands is doing great in finding fast big skilful players like Delph, Iwobi, Bernard, Rodriguez...

Want to see a back 4 coleman mina godfrey digne from now on. Enough is enough with holgate awful

That was a really poor performance and Carlo has to take some of the blame.

That’s the thing mate, it’s easy everyone blaming the players but Carlo is paid an absolute fortune in wages and is supposed to be a great man manager and tactician and I’ve said it consistently that he should be judged at the end of next season when he has more of his own players but, he is just as much to blame as the players he picks to carry out his tactics.

@chrismpw giving MOTM to Iwobi. lol lol

Changed my vote on reflection, snoopy. Keep up to date. He looked pretty good first half. I glazed over and fell asleep 2nd half.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Not really, I was honestly curious to see if you had any actual suggestions for a different manager since you want the current one sacked. Obviously you don't, you just want Anchelotti sacked. The end. No worries. I just won't bother taking you seriously ever again.

I want Brendan Rodgers in but if we’re happy to just finish 8th-12th, the we can have a much wider pool of managers to choose from who we won’t need to pay £11m p/a.

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

Good thing typing exists otherwise we wouldn't have known.

 

[Vortexgaz]

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

If he was that good of a manager why would you stay ( he was a good manager in the past but the game has moved on )
Give him the tools for the job
If I went to work and they said sorry just a old horse for you to get around on and carry your tools you would tell them to do one and get a new job
Am not saying it’s just Carlo but he’s not helping the situation

 

[Mkjjones]

I know that Fabian Delph is not the player you bring on when you need to win a game and it's 1-1

And Davies is? Maybe someone’s tired. That’s why we need the sub?

 

[mrb85]

Feel like we’re at a bit of a cross roads here. The manager needs to sort this home form quickly.

He's had 6 months!!! Pointless now. Not that he could anyway.

 

[rochdaleblue]

We’re more players than that away mate. Maybe 4-5.

4-5 from being a competitive team, not a top team.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Individual errors. Players not as good as they think they are. Rubbish at both ends of the field. Very very disappointing, that was not acceptable.

 

[ForeverEverton]

We need at least 6 players in the next window, we will likely get 2 a window for the next 2 years which means we will need even more by time we get there!

 

[BlueToff]

Matt sums it up. You can't even have any argument against it either.

This isn't one-offs.

This is literally four months' of evidence.

I back us to beat Villa away and get a result at West Ham.

I'm not confident about either of the home games.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Exactly. We’re paying this player a King’s ransom for something we have pretty much always done.

Manager?

 

[Marius57]

Big Sam was much better. We were not good but at least there was some life in the team. Now they are playing slow motion football and hope to put a corner or free kick in the net.

Did you watch us with big Sam? Where was the life?
