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

[Milkman]

So frustrating watch Townsend leave the back post at that corner. You get taught not to do that at u11s football for Christ's sake.

 

[Saint Domingo]

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

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Take a point right now if offered

100%

 

[sladen90]

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

It's his movement. Superb header really.

 

[Azza]

DCL needs to put his handbag away and start getting involved

I can't remember when I last seen him dominate a centre back, if ever.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Gordon and Allan can’t pass a football either?

We've not watched the same Gordon I don't think

 

[MrGrumpy]

Can’t see Benitez surviving after today surely.. o wait

 

[Dublin blue 75]

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

He’s gone. Forget about him

 

[LocalNative]

Not got a single player who’s good on the ball. Nobody can pass it.

 

[Yarrgh]

Effort good. Up front pathetic.

Sort it out in midfield and attack Ferguson.

 

[Fansince1988]

Must get Gray into the game.

Hi and Gordon seem to have an understanding, I’d be tempted to get Gordon on

 

[steven]

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.

When’s the last time ‘Rafael’ agreed that a three man midfield was the way to do.

Get off your keyboard Guillem and go write another book.

 

[BlueToff]

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

Gray hasn't got into the game and Townsend has put in one open play cross.

Switch to a 3 in midfield, get Allan on

 

[wm02]

Midfield just awful

 

[Dixieslaces]

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.

I swear to god mate.

Have a day off.

Did you really expect Barcelona to turn up today!
