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

[the golden visionary]

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

Its because we win away. Alot

Should go balls out and lob King on for Gomes and go 442

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Hes not good, but every week people make their mind up when the team is announced.

Yeah, happens with a few - no more than with Sigurdsson, that.

 

[blue to the bone]

When carlo does go it will save a club a fortune on his replacement as there are posters on here who genuinely think they no more then him .
2 or 3 really stand out .

 

[edge]

Digne and Coleman biggest problem is do they go forward. Because if we lose it gomes and sig can’t cover the flanks. That’s all villa are doing wait then play a quick pass in behind the flanks.

Spot on

Mina on for Holgate
Davies for Gomes

Yep, need to replace the sluggish Gomes with the energy of Davies. And Holgate is just another goal/red/calamity waiting to happen.

 

[NewRadical]

My 3 year old Nephew now knows the phrase 'absolute idiots' after that first half. Thankfully I'm not the one responsible for teaching him it.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Still leaves us wide open defensively either way.

Exactly so play the one who gives you something with the ball!

 

[BlueToff]

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

He's been okay on the ball - I'll give him that.

I try to have better standards and just think we'd have been far better going into a different system to try and cover the flaws we have a bit more. Instead we expose them.

 

[Gilbert..]

Far superior to Holgate imo

So is our cat.

 

[everton1953]

The superb Pickford has kept us in the game. On their side Barkley has been excellent. If only we had him back.

 

[Dougie]

Proper mad that Allan just escapes any criticism. Think he’s been dreadful again.

I agree but he is trying to cover an entire midfield on his own. He sometimes for me tries to hard to try and compensate for the 2 next to him.

 

[Andy McGurk]

Because the Kommisar is in town?

Better that than Bonnie Tyler

 

[lungo]

Davies for Gomesh please

No! Gomes at least tries to play forward balls. Davies is a nothing man.

 

[MACCA75]

I’ll bet Villa win a corner within 2 minutes of the restart. We’ll be half asleep as usual from kick off.
