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

[Melchizedek]

at this moment in time I’m 95% certain we won’t go down, we are still a good few point clear, the teams below are woeful but so are we but we will pick up enough points to be safe. I know losing isn't ideal but in a way it will certainly get Dunc working harder to sort things, this was always a tough game.

I appreciate the optimism, but we've been beaten by all the "worse" teams. I just struggle to see who we beat to start picking up points. I do hope you're right though.

Mina has a head like an upside down ice cream cornet, how does he not score headers the size of him

He should have had 2 today.

 

[PhilEFC]

No. Don't lie.

We had 60 % possession in the last game.

Every start today was worse than Rafas.

Against Norwich. When we were getting beat 2 nil early onyou mean? Turn it in.

 

[kleew]

DCL's definitely losing 1 or 2lbs of his leg muscles. He needs them for tad sharper and formidable again.

 

[dannyboy]

Second half we had...

2 × DCL
1× Godfrey
2 × Mina

Along with one or two more off target efforts.

If ANY of those go in then the confidence comes back.

We really took it to them 2nd half...amazed we lost that.

We were on the front foot but Villa weathered whatever we had to throw at them well.

Most worrying for me is two weeks in a row we've been chasing an equaliser and faded in the last 10 minutes to the point where we created nothing. Shows a lack of belief.

 

[ProZ]

Seriously though, I think we all knew 442 was not going to work in reality. We were better when we switched it

 

[Bob Elstone]

Don’t kid yourselves lads, it’ll be the same old when we play Newcastle. Weeks to prepare and another defeat making them look like juventus.

This guy on Radio Merseyside Mike, needs to understand the fans in the ground after the game are wanting change at the club because this has been a decline over more than 2 decades overseen by BK. As for the £100m that Farhad "has just put in this week" he hasn't you plonker! This is already in, it's a debt converted to shares.

This is a really bad time to be protesting

 

[Tipp blue]

Not real trouble yet, but that’s because the ones below are so poor. But we must improve ASAP. Dunc will have learnt from that.

That performance leads me to believe he hasn't learned anything over the past few years...
He hasn't learned that Holgate is gash.
He hasn't learned that Kenny is gash.
He hasn't learned that 2 in midfield is stupid.
What makes you think he's going to start learning now?

 

[TheBigIguana]

And he did.

Then one more, then one more, then one more.

Same logic would be to say we're not asking the world of our defenders, just to defend better and win the ball, is all.

He did not make a save of quality today

It’ll all be on who we get as a new manager. If we get someone like kovac in I’d be confident he would get us to safety.

Rooney, Lampard, Ferguson…I think it’s a recipe for disaster. Going to be a pressure situation.

 

[ProZ]

Don’t kid yourselves lads, it’ll be the same old when we play Newcastle. Weeks to prepare and another defeat making them look like juventus.

Howe has a good habit of smacking up about he’s got form

 

[bluelegend]

Good: Gordon, Allan (both subs)
Bad: Kenny, Gomes, Townsend, DCL, Richarlison. Not hard to see why we lost.

 

[MockBu4]

1 shot on target.

Vs. Norwich 5 on target.
Vs. Brighton 6 on target.
Vs. Chelsea 3 on target.
Vs. Palace 6 on target.
Vs. Arsenal 5 on target.

If that's the only metric you judge upon.., but I don't think it works like that
