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

[Bez2k2k]

Just watched the highlights. How is it that Gueye can toe poke the ball and a penalty is given, however Lloris can apparently finger tip the ball away from Richarlison so no pen is given. I find this strange.

All is not lost, out of the 4 games Dyche has had I would have expected us to lose against Arsenal and Liverpool so we have still done what I expected us to do over his 4 games. Which is win 2, lose 2. We have to find a way to draw games if we can’t win them, drives me insane.

Yet another Gana mistake and yet another Pickford mistake. Bores me every week.

+1

Lampard and his Cult followers are the main reason we're in this mess - not far behind them is Kenwright.

Turn it in you helmet. Your idol the raffatollah started this nosedive we’re in. Aided by a shambolic board. Dyche will get us out of trouble this season though

 

[allezlesbleus]

Like I say...wasn't a pen for me

I have only just seen this . My seat is in St End so thought nothing of it at the time. How the hell is that a pen? He has played the ball and the guy has gone down next to him.

Still blaming the manager who left over 12 months ago I see lol

I thought you had gone quiet when your hero got the bullet.

Lampard is awful and has probably relegated us surely you agree ?

 

[Toffeelover]

Disgraceful, 14 shots, 5 on target and cannot get one in !

We are back in drop zone and tbh looks like our fate.

Apart from 3/4 players the rest look useless. Can Dyche please explain why he keeps picking Maupay, what is it he sees that the rest of us do not ?

Next game Arsenal !!!!! Oh boy.

I take it you weren't there. Unlucky to lose, permanent non scoring problem for which there seems little possibility of a solution. Both keepers made a blinding save each. The pen finished us.

That was no pen.

I don’t think we will be relegated, despite the boards best efforts.

What happened to all the top jobs your mate was gonna get after us? Still on the dole the fat mess

I keep seeing people say that there's a different angle that shows Gana's challenge as a clear pen. Does anyone have access to that view? I just keep seeing the footage of the angle in which he gets a clean and clear touch on the ball and alters its direction.

Rafael was awful and should've never been a manager of Everton and played a key role in our downfall by putting a team finishing comfortably midtable on autopilot in a very realistic relegation position surely you agree?

 

[Ozwell]

It's literally you saying that and I'm not, the hell is wrong with you?

We shouldn't criticise mistakes then, just clap on and have good times and good vibes only. FFS

Suppose my point is you are saying he is wrong… but offer no viable alternative.
The equivalent is me entering a formula one race in a ford fiesta and me blaming the mechanics I didn’t win.

I would suggest changing the car, for a similar model to opponents eg a formula 1 car. You suggest trading in for a ford kuga as if that’s a genuine solution and if it is the mechanics are the problem and not the car!!!

 

[PhilEFC]

Tough result that, does tell the story of the game.

The difference was the fact Villa have players who can create and finish, we never looked like scoring.

That ref was a disgrace as well.

I remember we amongst others got pelters for wanting him gone after Bournemouth gate.

I said it last season as well he took over us when we were 4 points safe from the bottom 3 then plunged us into being 5 points behind Burnley in 19th within less than half a season with Richarlison up top.

Unbelievable so many were seduced by his nonsense.

….not sure that’s accurate. Again I think you’re mistaken.

I saw lots of posters liking Lampard the man but being critical of Lampard the coach. I know myself, I was very critical of him from the outset but I really wanted him to succeed because he was thoroughly decent.

Benitez on the other hand was a dreadful coach and an obnoxious man. I’m very strongly of the view that our mad house of a club would’ve remained intact had it not been for his appointment.

So yes, Lampard was poor. So yes, Lampard should’ve been sacked earlier but if you look back the majority of posters have been saying this for a while.

I just think you need to lose that giant Benitez chip on your shoulder.

So last season it was Benitez who was relegating us yet this season its conveniently the board and not the manager with a worse record than Benitez ?

Come on geezer lol

We win that game with a striker. Simple as. Grrr just annoying. One of the line goes it we win.
