Might’ve been McNeil’s allegedly massive dong that was offside mate.

Again I’d also like to see pictures…..

Yeah, started his run too early. Didn't need to as he would have gotten to the ball anyway

We'd have lost that game with any of our previous five managers (save Carlo) and Tarks led the side.

We're coming off a few seasons of relegation scraps and we're getting better (when sticking to four at the back). We have a terrible recent record against Villa and they're top of the table and yet some on here expect us to get the win.

Get our ten points back and things look a lot better; we've no option but to be patient, hope the squad stays intact over the transfer window and we'll gradually climb the table.

Another solid display from the defence and midfield, what we need is the attacking four to get the ball in the net. You've got to give Martinez some credit for the DCL stop, ditto Pickford at the other end.

Would have taken the point before the game - well done Blues

100% agree mate

Against a very good Villa side, thought we did well tbf.

They tend to sit back for ten or fifteen, work out what the opposition are doing, then adjust, and in Kamara Luiz and McGinn have the personnel to move pretty fluidly between all sort of formations on and off the ball. But we did well to make it difficult for them to create and ultimately had the best chances of the game.

Going forward we looked very clunky though, and I would drop DCL for a game or two and see what happens.

Take a point, stops a losing streak and gives us a platform to look ahead.

Also: that was a proper Everton performance. Hard tackling, hard running, aggressive, bodies on the line effort. Feels good to have something resembling the team I fell in love with as a kid.

Played Villa three times this season: a loss, a win, and a draw.

The cosmos always finds its balance.

Jesus I slept through the match and missed it. At work now.

 

[Walken]

Don't talk wet. DCL puts that chance in the net and Onana is forgiven for another inept performance.

I hear hendo is available

[Mr PEN86]

That's Unai Emery's first 0-0 in 90+ games managed in England.
