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

[Milkman]

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.

This is so unbelievably false lol

 

[Rita_Poon]

Arguably wasn't even a foul lol

Oh dear. Refs been hesitant, was he like an erupting volcano to 'show whos boss' asap?

 

[II McColl II]

Done alright so far, would just help if we had 1 player who got near the box and didn't immediately forget how to kick a ball

 

[TheBigIguana]

I really am gobsmacked people are moaning about McNeil today, just gtf negative idiots

I don't think he's been all that good but he's doing what he's asked

 

[MikeH72]

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

So you’ve given up on him as a Robben-lite right winger now?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

First goal winner.

Or at least first goal not loser.

Obviously having a great game if you think that you clueless biff

McNeil is having a very good game mate and I don't rate him one bit.

 

[LucBesson]

I'm surprisingly calm about the rest of this one. Maybe it's naive. Maybe it's the hangover I'm nursing. Performances like this give me confidence we've got a lot more points in us this season, lack of goals or not. Opponents are finding chances really few and far between against us.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Missed the Onana booking, was it a yellow fair & square?

You very, very rarely see yellow cards given for that foul, and even less so when it's so early in the game and it literally being the first tackle of the game. Incredibly strange refereeing.

 

[TheBigIguana]

So you’ve given up on him as a Robben-lite right winger now?

I mean he still should be playing there currently but I've been incredibly clear that I doubt it'll work.

It's just that whatever he is right now definitely doesn't work.

Dyche likes it though apparently so it won't be changing.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Oh dear. Refs been hesitant, was he like an erupting volcano to 'show whos boss' asap?

Absolutely.

Apparently consulted VAR for the foul and gave a yellow, which is also not in the rule book lol but that's what commentators said so take it with a pinch of salt.

It’s only those who don’t like to be proven wrong that can’t admit he’s playing well.

If we'd had a half decent striker under Lampard we'd be exactly where we are now. The impr improvement in our overall game

If we'd had a half decent striker we'd be exactly where we are now if we still had Lampard in charge. The improvement in our overall play under Dyche is there for all to see.

I agree. Dyche has us organised and more solid and improved attacking wise. If only Dyche had a striker or 2 and we would comfortable. If we survive this season then I feel we are in good hands and when we get the strikers we will not worry about another relegation fight

 

[roy vernon]

Mykolenko's delivery has been surprisingly good today, he's put a few very good crosses in. McNeil has had his best 45 minutes in royal blue. More of the same in the second half, but, this could go either way yet.
