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

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Looks like we can play no more than two of Gray, Richy, Townsend, Gordon on the pitch at any one time. Not even adding in Iwobi.

If we are sticking with DCL, you pick two others left and right. Not shoe horn them in.

We need that third body in midfield. I'd even give the young lad a game ahead of the attackers.

I thought the defence actually played better today without Keane and Seamus.
But need to plug that hole in midfield.

Still heart in mouth at times though mate, Holgate has me worried whenever the ball comes near him.

Defend like a beginner for 18 months, contribute no assists.. and then (obviously because RB didn't like ya) you roll up and take the mick.. well done Lucas.

Would have been nice to have a ref who had a degree of control and not be fooled by 11 Steven Gerrard clones taking the mick and falling all over the place (Matty Cash, Mings). But at least we played a little better.

Heard the Ukrainian lad had Covid,but I haven't a clue what went on with Patterson Eggs.

If he has Covid he shouldn’t have been sitting with the subs on the bench
Where was El Ghazi?

Couldn't play on loan from Villa.

I don't know how old some of the posters are on this thread, but if you are asking would any of us support Everton in a lower division....

The results are bad and the quality of players/managers is not what it used to be.

But you always support your team.
You will love them and you will hate them.
If struggling, mostly hate them, but you will always support them.

Up the toffees.

Can't play against parent club.

Can’t even beat an average Villa, Dunc clearly not the man.

This result isn’t a reflection of dunc. It’s a reflection of our players. Majority aren’t good enough at this level. Simple.

At least they’re consistently bad!!!

His dad supports Villa?

 

[Steve EFC]

Even more concerning is the two players who we’ve recently signed who were eligible were not even on bench!!
Kind of makes our situation even worse. And I’m not questioning Dunc by this comment.

Probably Dunc saying why TF did we buy these?

Digne giving the ball away for Docuoure’s chance is exactly why he’s not good enough. He got away with it because Docuoure can’t pass

AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

Disappointing day. Wore my blue pants which I knew for some time have been unlucky. Never again. Weirdly other elements of my life have gone well. Except for Everton.

Central midfield needs sorting and I'm not convinced dunc is the man to do it.

UTFT 5 more wins.

All dat der fat Spanish waiters faul.... oh wait!

I did tell people this months ago stop focusing on the manager and start looking at the recruitment/players on the pitch.

Shove it up your arse, you bell

His dad owns Villa.

Was it just me or did anyone else think the atmosphere was a bit weird, like fans we're expecting the worst once the game got underway?
