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

[ForeverEverton]

Villa winning 3 on the trot at Goodison is scandalous.

Last 8 against Villa, Lost 6 drew 2, just a much much better team........

Football is a simple game. The team that scores the most goals wins.

We had to win this today. We’re done in the prem. shocking recruitment has finally bitten us in the *ss.

 

[Mark_EFC]

This is what happens when you don’t finish your chances. Plain and simple.

Also ref was atrocious today. That wasn’t a pen

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Villa winning 3 on the trot at Goodison is scandalous.

It's okay, we probably won't have to play each other for a few seasons.

 

[atypicalusername]

McNeil was a real stand out for us today. Easy MOTM for us. Let's keep our heads high, dust ourselves off and come again. Some encouraging signs as of yet from Dyche.

F U Sean… you cost us today with you persistence with Maupay and mcSHIIIIT

Thought McNeil played well for 60 minutes today and I’ve been his biggest critic.
On the balance of what I’ve seen choosing Maupay or Simms is a lose/lose but yeah I’d have tried Simms

One of whom is in the running for man of the match (other one clearly isn’t).

 

[Ring master]

All changed on that silly tackle for the pen which i wish Gana would stop doing as he never stops, we did well in large parts today and should have took chances when we had them, no doubt we will be told after game that on another day we would have won etc, etc, we all know that we are basically hoping to keep clean sheets and win games 1-0

 

[john jako]

Our fullbacks offer nothing. Granted Coleman scored last week but over the course of a season they are proper inept going forward.

The midfield 3 is awful going forward. Wingers just put balls in the box and hope a midget can get to them.

 

[DualityNSNO]

I think Simms’ derby performance has been an influence.

Oh so it's an influence when we've thrown a kid in a game where we didn't even bother turning up to attack then, and that's a reasonable decision?
Nah, not having that - he picked Maupay to start, even though he knew how we're setting up.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Dyche's honeymoon is over now. Back in the relegation zone with teams around us picking up points and us looking absolutely helpless.

6 points from 4 games isn’t helpless

 

[lungo]

Completely agree. Should have been after Bournemouth. But we didn’t so we are where we are.

Last game of last season (Arsenal 5:1) was the moment to sack him.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Villa winning 3 on the trot at Goodison is scandalous.

I remember loads on here were buzzing they came back up, could never understand it, they always snide us

McNeil was a real stand out for us today. Easy MOTM for us. Let's keep our heads high, dust ourselves off and come again. Some encouraging signs as of yet from Dyche.

It's just not likely to ever result in goals. Teams are glad to watch him cross 15 times. They're pushing him wide.
