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

[Milkman]

I thought we've done ok until the last 10 mins. Nothing going forward (Townsend is having a shocker and they've marked Gray out the game), but the effort is there. Games like this just need a bit of luck.

 

[Mashtray]

Allan for Gomes
Gordon for Townsend

 

[Duncan’s Pigeon Loft]

Have we had an attempt on goal boys?

No you don’t play till tomorrow

 

[Kev The Rat]

Plantpots still wanting benitez in charge. Should have gone 3 games ago minimum.

Bang on - and now it may be too late

 

[blueconverse]

Gordon on for townsend. Love doucoure but he is awful technically

 

[Dixieslaces]

Pot kettle

Why don't you just koff.

You are an absolute melt lad.

 

[Joey66]

Same way like those games under benitez against saints and Burnley etc etc

Both Pickford saves offside anyway ....

 

[BlueToff]

Effort and intensity was there, but we haven't had a shot. Which is pathetic.

Needs to go three in midfield to get some form of grip on the game.

 

[Marius57]

Pot kettle

Yet you are the one going round throwing the hypocrite insult out.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Same old same old....squads awful...
Kenny shouldn't be on the pitch....
Says a lot the fat waiters new signings aren't even in the squad..
Going to be an awful ling season this..

 

[thebluebullet]

This is why Dunc won't be getting the job. Villa have actually lost more league games than us,so they can't be that good.

 

[DL100]

Allan on for Townsend second half. Let Doucoure push forward. Our front 3 are non existent. Gray hardly on the ball and no service for DCL.

 

[sageyefc]

Get another man into midfield because we’ve got no control, and get Gordon on for Townsend

 

[dannyboy]

Lot of effort but really lacking in quality. Not good enough to play with a two in midfield but we persist to try and do so.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Leaving those complete bottle and coin throwing idiots aside.
I think if you play 2 up top you need to go a bit more direct to skip their 3 in midfield. And win the knockdowns etc. They on top but I would have been confident of good second half in gwladys end. Now it's really difficult.
