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

[longers]

Been more enjoyable to watch than most games this season tbh, usually bored to tears at this point.

 

[Runub]

Don’t worry Carlo will sort them out in the interval......will be a different game second half. Well....here’s hoping

 

[Pabbers]

This centre back partnership doesnt work against all actions physical strikers.

 

[jayden28]

Can't believe we still fighting for europe because we get dominanted in most matches.

 

[miami]

Martin keown analysing holgate mistake. Highlights a simple FORWARD pass that was easily on, but he decides to turn back. Typical of the negativity running through the team. Unforgivable.

 

[wainy]

Absolute shambles that half, villa should be out of sight.

 

[Gilbert..]

Thank god it is just 1-1. Please can we stop with the Holgate -Godfrey CB partnership.
We just cannot find that balance at home......we either over commit and leak goals/chances or we just concede the midfield.
Something has to change 2nd half

Got shot down the other week on here about godfrey. He's still very norwichy. Long way from being what some on here think he is.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Gomes hasnt even been that bad, but its pointless talking to you people.

Was so, so, bad first 20.

Come into it.

Thing is, for me he's part of a problem that sets a slow tempo from the off.

 

[gianthogweed]

Villa look like their going to score every time they attack the 2 center backs are sh#tting themselves everytime Watkins gets the ball
they need to sort out whos doing what or just smash him

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Davies for Gomesh please

 

[edge]

No legs in the midfield , needs changes and fast.

 

[Thomasc]

We are absolutely horrific to watch, every single bloody week.

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

But 'that bad' shouldn't be the standard?

For me, we'll have far more balance with 3 at the back (as bad as Holgate has been) because it can push Coleman and Digne up the pitch.

We then need someone to sit alongside Allan in midfield - so Davies on for Gomes.

Playing 3 at the back also pushes Gylfi forward so he's in the final third more like we saw v Spurs

fair do's....we have a load of pretty average players today....people jump on Iwobi...he has done some ok stuff

 

[Blue_in_london]

Iwobi when he wants to can leave a player for dead. Its after that, he completely runs out of ideas. Always ends up playing a daft ball or poor cross. Sort it out!

 

[sageyefc]

Can see the subs being delph, then another defender, then king getting the last 3 minutes
