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

[Mashtray]

6-2 Villa very symbolic numbers there.
The start of our decline

I seem to recall the bad luck against villa go all the way to moyes era.

Always been a thorn in our side, regardless of league position

 

[Melchizedek]

It too bad the only "suitable" player we could bring in in on deadline day jibbed us off. If only we had more time (6 months before and the entirety of January) and a whole world of footballers to get something done. Oh well, the Chairman made a lot of calls on deadline day. Can't really expect anything more than that.

 

[Number_25]

Ah well.

 

[NorthernBlue]

One of those coulda shoulda games. But ultimately didn’t. Sometimes that’s the way the way it goes. But for us it’s because we just can’t score. A Coleman worldie or the odd set piece aside. Grim

 

[Rodebaard]

Toothless. We should be winning that really.

 

[Billy Dean]

14 more games

Sean Dyche is terrible… terrible team selection.. terrible in game management.

I don't think you've made this point forcefully enough yet.

Try seven or eight more times.

 

[kenada_blue]

Simms hold up and awareness in the 2 cameo's have eclipsed Maupays

 

[COYBL25]

Yep. If you took goal scoring out of the equation we actually played alright.

Problem is we have to rely on luck to score and you won't win many games that like that.

Luck and worldees, which just isn`t sustainable.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

A half decent number 9 and we don't lose that.

 

[Saint Domingo]

After Arsenal it will be 5 points from 5, then afetr Forest away it will be 6 from 6..... see how this is going?

We arent getting anything from the next 2.

I’d be amazed if we lost heavily enough to Arsenal to have a point subtracted from us.

Also you can’t just say we won’t get anything from the next two when we beat Arsenal a couple of weeks ago and got a point at the Etihad under Lampard.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Lack of forwards cost us again. Unacceptable lack of quality in final third

As I repeatedly said, managerial change wouldnt fix that

 

[faddy the blue]

We don't have players that could win us a penalty or a FK in dangerous area, let alone anyone who could take a FK.

Our medical staff is one of the most poor in the PL as well. It can't be a coincidence our players spend so much time on sideline season after season.

 

[dan7787]

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

Wake up, Mc Shiiiiiit ruined every opportunity we had

 

[nsno_traditionally]

Still not sure it was a penalty but maybe that's my blue specs
