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

[Piijt]

So the plan for Townsend and Grey to put crosses in to DCL hasn’t worked. Get Gordon on for Townsend

 

[Theoneandonly]

We don’t have a single player that can pass a ball in this team.

He's benched Gordon and Allan. We all agree that a 3 man midfield is the way to go, Dunc goes with a 2 man midfield. We know Villa are an attacking side, Dunc starts Holgate in a 2 man defence.

 

[R.Reddington]

I’m trying to keep my cool here but my blood is boiling at Digne.

 

[BrendanGOT]

Allan for Gomes
Gordon for Townsend

Needs to be Allan for Townsend and play 3 in the midfield. Only way we'll win this imo

 

[Chegsy]

You can’t expect to build any decent attacks with Kenny and Godfrey at full back.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Still baffled how the smallest player on the pitch was allowed to score unchallenged with a header

 

[Vedder]

Townsend off for Gordon or Allen for me. What goes through people minds..what's makes people that angry they need to threw a bottle...needs banning the absolute moron

 

[Tel001]

We have been really poor. Effort is much better but going forward we are non existent.

For a player where passing is supposed to be his main strength, Andre Gomes cannot seem to pass a ball very well.

That is our main problem , once the ball gets to gomes , Kenny , holgate or Richy we lose possession . They are shocking at passing and it ruins any chance to create anything . Godfrey cannot pass forward and needs to be moved/taken off and an actual LB needs to be put on

 

[sladen90]

Well it's not been really has it.

Well yes it has. We are actually getting stuck in, closing down and showing some fight. We've not done that for a long time.

 

[cooperman]

thought after pouring his heart out like a tit on instagram he might have shown some decency

I expect he would've done.

 

[Marius57]

He's benched Gordon and Allan. We all agree that a 3 man midfield is the way to go, Dunc goes with a 2 man midfield. We know Villa are an attacking side, Dunc starts Holgate in a 2 man defence.

You were championing benitez and his 2 man midfield for 6 months. Eff off.

 

[BigBlueConk]

We haven't got enough quality in midfield so we need to compensate by throwing in numbers.
DCL and Richy look a waste of a player in a 4-4-2.

 

[BlueToff]

Patterson, Myko, Brainthwaite, Dobbin... Rooney's starting line up

Patterson isn't ready, maybe he has a knock. Braintwhaite is coming back from an injury. Mykolenko was awful in the last game

 

[nsno-chris]

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.

Well it is, his awful tactics and the fact he only gets players 85% fit will hamper any manager

The fat odious kopite should have been canned months ago. But kopites like you were adamant he stays on

Utter disgraceful behaviour, should be ashamed of yourself

 

[Dixieslaces]

Digne was disgraceful, it was like the last minute of the CL winning goal the way he celebrated.

What's disgraceful is chucking [Poor language removed] at any player, no matter who it is.
