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

[stretford blue]

Good hard earned point gave myko motm that block alone save us a point

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.

Agree with dropping DCL, he needs it. Having said that Beto was awful when he came on.

Was a good point

Was Doucoure offside? I want to see pictures

Yes miles off

 

[Bob Latchford]

No Hannibal Mejbri in the United team today. Might be decent if he can be brought in.

 

[Bluebirdie]

We were in second and Villa 3rd gear so decent outcome.

Beto didn’t have much to get after to be fair to him. Would have preferred him over DCL on that 1 on 1

What’s he like? Thought we were done with United youth products with no experience

If I was asked before kickoff would I have been happy with 0-0 I’d have said yes. Now that it’s finished that way 0-0 is disappointing doucoure scoring all be it Offside but at lest he found the back of the net, shouldnt have mattered if the donkey wearing no9 could have slotted his chance 1st half the chance that some have you believe he never gets

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

You didn't miss much. I spent the last 10 minutes listening to my heart beat faster and faster. Can't believe I still care!

That’s 10 league games without a win against these now

Myko is turning in to some player. MOTM.

They have been getting better as we have been going the other way.

A good defensive performance in a bad tempered game, ending with a few walking wounded. It was a toss up for mom between Branthwaite and Miko, but I've plumped for Branthwaite. Thinking on DCL's miss, we would be cheering Pickford if he'd made that save so
