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

I don't get why that isn't a card. Its blatant time wasting.

McNeil again a decent little move to create space. But he's again going the wrong way because he's on the wrong side.

 

[GoldenToffee]

This was the one we had to win. Can't see a single win from our next 6 fixtures - maybe a couple of draws.

Think we're very close to done.

We're long since done. Said it as soon as the first transfer window ended, there aren't enough goals in the squad. Hasn't changed and won't change. We'll finish 20th imo.

The issue is that the team has played to its maximum potential without scoring and lost 2-0 that is a very worrying thing.

We dominated this game for 60 minutes though. Yeah our players aren’t great but we’ve been all over these putting balls in dangerous positions and a proper striker would’ve seen us score.
At one point around an hour in I saw we had 10 shots to their 3 and apart from Pickford rushing Watkins early on they’d created nothing until just before their pen

We arent getting a striker so the inevitable happens..... GD is now joint 4th worst, we`ve scored fewer goals than the rest of the Premier League, we are just going one way......

 

[LucBesson]

I still expect us to stay up

I'm back looking through our fixtures and getting worried. Don't expect much from Arsenal and we lose to Forest we're suddenly adrift.

 

[GETEM]

Don’t think West Ham are at risk tbh, they’ve got enough quality to turn it around. It’ll be between us, Leeds, Bournemouth and Southampton for who goes down.

 

[carolinablue232]

We’ve said it a thousand times, we have a competent striker and we win the game, they had the whole of January ffs.

Two full windows. It was blatantly obvious after last season as well and their solution was Maupay. Just negligent.

 

[DualityNSNO]

How do you force a player, who doesn`t want to sign for you, to sign ?

Involve Kenwright, I heard he has tremendous pull and every other director praises him all the time.

 

[Mrk]

Are you serious?? Our best forwarders in grey and Simms benched? Dyche can fukkkk right off!!!

“Our best forwarders” lol

Forwarders indeed. No further questions, m’lud.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Gueye challenge changed the game though. If we don’t give them a goal they don’t score today. We simply can’t be doing that.

 

[Azzurri]

Big fan of Gray coming on and being absolutely woeful.

Still, he’s got to play over Maupay next week surely. We’ve got to try something.

 

[Drico]

Looks bleak now. Forest can be caught. Three from Bournemouth, Southampton, Forest and Everton.

Why does that table say we have lost 2 in a row?

 

[Toffee-nerd]

We actually played alright but we don't have any goals in the side. We are in real trouble. Everyone else can score.
