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

You guys know that the line closest to the goal is 6 yards away not 2 right?

And that being actually 2 yards is not the same as being 8 to 10 yards away when you shoot?

lol lol lol lol

Lack of goalscoring ability absolutely kills us. We would simply not be in this position otherwise.

100%
Also means that our margin for error is pretty much nil. If we concede in any game, we almost certainly won’t win, as we can’t score > 1

Also McNeil NEEDS someone to help him work on that right foot. Ball from Iwobi should've been controlled and shot on goal. Only 23 so he's got time but he's just so one-footed it's unreal.

Great energy to that first half. Love to see us pressing so well, it properly gets Goodison up for it.

Some very weird anti-McNeil takes today – has been the best player on the pitch so far, bad free kick aside.

 

[atypicalusername]

Villa sitting deep trying to catch us on the break......we had more chances but Simms would pose more of a threat imo

Maybe bring him on later and switch the midfield up a little at the same time but for now I'm pretty happy with how we have played and think they deserve a chance to re-establish that in the second half.

It's not ever going to happen

 

[Simon Buttle]

Still laughing at doucoure getting in the box and not knowing what to do and ending up falling over. Proper turd him

Will need a poll soon on what minute he is going to fall over in games it happens so often.

He won't.

Colemans NEEDS someone to help him work on the left foot of his, but no one has managed to for about 15 years.

 

[GoldenToffee]

McNeil doing well for me tbh. Mykolenko too, and the defence and midfield is fine. But we need a draw, not a win so we gotta get rid of one of those CMs and bring Gray on soon.

I was exaggerating with 2 yards mate, calm down.

Still think we had the bulk of the best chances. I can’t even remember Villa creating anything of note.

Actually the line closest to the goal is the goal line which that big thing with the net surrounds

If he's not got it by 23, he's unlikely to ever develop it.

Didn't seem to trouble James Rodriguez much either.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He won't.

Fullbacks can be one footed and be really good which is why LB is McNeil's destiny still

 

[Sharpattack]

I'm his biggest critic but this is McNeil's best game ever. Maupay sucks donkeys. He's absolutely awful. Needs hooking. Iwobi is a cowardly player and never takes responsibility. Always looking to pass backwards and is totally incapable of trying a shot.

 

[sladen90]

Just watched that half and came away fairly happy with our play. Once again restricting the opposition and with us looking the most threatening albeit our striker situation is a sore point. If we had a half decent striker we wouldn't be where we are. Fairly happy, yet come on here and the wet the beds and pure idiots slating each and every player off makes me think if I am too easy to please or just see a game totally different.

McNeil has been by far our best player and doing his job very well yet people saying sub him etc. Some right pratts on here

Can I just say thankyou!! I was amazed at some of the comments on here after a very pleasing first half so to read your comment after pages of utter tripe was good.
