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

[Sharpattack]

If it wasn’t Holgate it would have been someone else. Every player receiving the ball in his own half looks to play it back every time. This was inevitable. I’m only surprised it hasn’t happened before

 

[bluelegend]

Braithwaite is a better option than Holgate. We loaned out the wrong player.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Made about 3 errors in last 3 or 4 games

 

[BlueToff]

I'm seriously gonna turn off already.

When is the penny going to drop with these players that if we want European footy then we have to actually.. yeno.. try??

We're massively reliant on a bloke who is famously injury prone to play any kind of footy.

 

[Steve EFC]

We have been saying for months now that Holgate is one of the weak links. That is as obvious as it gets for those that weren’t quite there yet....

 

[mahermi1]

Total lack of belief, so easy for Villa so far, what do we actually do in training, apart from get injured ?

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Woeful effort Gomesh

 

[KaiserEFC]

I actually can’t deal with our players dropping bollocks in games like this. We really know how to pick them.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Oh well. htf are we going to score 2?

 

[BlueTX]

Last 3 goals allowed at home were GIFTS from our CBs. Unacceptable.

 

[johnjoeefc]

Gomes off now

 

[Jim Hopper]

Why are the defenders obsessed with passing it along the back 4. Why dont they just get it into the midfield first time.

Because there’s no midfield showing for the ball and they generally turn around and pass back anyway. Team is horrendousl.

 

[lesbattersby]

I'm surprised it's taken till this far into the season for that to happen to Holgate. We badly need a player to replace gomes that passes the ball forward.

 

[Blue_in_london]

I'm sick of holgate turning back every ball. Shocking. Utter garbage.

 

[zukai12_]

Gomesh is so so so bad at passing
