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

[TheBigIguana]

So the same idea as Marco Silva, Ronald Koeman, Ancelotti with us.

SAF played that way too for the longest time, Mourinho in possession is very much a cross and overload manager as well.

Or do you think the only ideas are the ones that managers like Pep and Wenger have demanded/instilled?

I will gladly take the wide combinations and overloads SAF created but that is far from what we're doing

Remember Maupay got us 3 points against West Ham. Still waiting for the first shot on goal from Simms!

Are you really defending Maupay?

 

[lungo]

& Bournemouth !!

Bournemouth is well to good for Everton.

 

[Devanski]

They dont have crap defenders like Coady to make that easy.

Yeah, Coady needs a spell on the bench.

FWIW I am still holding every single supporter that wanted to keep hold of Lampard even after the Bournemouth games partly responsible, you are the people that kept him in the job for far far too long......

 

[when i score we riot]

So you think he'd be worse at getting his head to a floated ball in the box than Maupay, a human being who's 5ft 10 with his hands up?
OK mate.

They clearly weren't aiming for Maupay though, it's clear Dyche wanted Onana to do the job of the big man.

I think the board kept him in the job.

Are you really defending Maupay?

Are you really biging up Simms?

Nonsense

Moshiri went on radio months after that saying he needed more time. Did a fan force him to say it?

Obviously disappointing. Before the game, we knew that this was going to be a tough game, but that we had a fair chance. For 60 minutes we are compact, win many duels and, and create a good number of opportunities to score goals. Unfortunately, when Watkins scores on the penalty kick, after a brain haemorrhage by Gana, you know that this is heading for a loss.

You can see that the intensity drops, and the players lose faith. We have to expose ourselves more, which means that we have to take a little more risk in the passing game, more space for the opponent, and more 1 vs. 1 duels, and then you also see that the quality in the team is not very good. Which was very clear with the defensive work of Coady and Tarkowski on Villa's second goal.

That is also the core of Everton's problem. We cannot end up with a hint of imbalance in the team, because then we will be exposed and punished almost immediately. It also means that we have to play at very low risk offensively. At the same time, there is little to complain about the work effort of the players today. It could have gone either way, but there is no getting away from the fact that Villa have more quality offensively than us.

the responsibility starts and ends with the Everton board, certainly not with fans. ever!

 

[ForeverEverton]

Yeah, Coady needs a spell on the bench.

I wouldnt make Coadys loan permanent, I think Mina and Keane are both better.... vault me but it will be proven.

 

[Mercedes]

Are you really biging up Simms?

No

 

[captainvindaloo]

And ultimately the one thing they can't spin back onto the fans.

Exactly.

 

[bullybeef]

Maupay stunk the gaff out.
