Aston Villa v Everton Post-Match Thread

How the hell did well pull that one off?? They did defend well,threw their bodies in front of everything. Its a big week or two now For Randy.

Cracking game, bit shakey at times but a good 3 points.

Again, not saying he had a bad game, but he made a few mistakes and I still think we need to do better. Same goes for NRC, who was equally inconsistent in his game today, and Petrov, who is showing his age and will be replaced in the long-term, I believe, by Delph.

Personnel can always be improved upon but until we get a better RB, Luke should play there rather than Carlos.

Largely I'd go along with that, but we need to improve our ball-retention, and Luke is one of the most guilty.

Should Cuellar get back in the team for the Stoke game?

I think Dunne should make way. He looks unfit and I just don't trust him the way I used to.

Skys comments about kmac applying for the job don't seem to tie in with the generals post last night- the general seemed clear we are looking for an experienced manager and that surely rules out keV whether he applies or not !

At least we have a solid base for a new man to take over - maybe need a couple of signings in jan but if randy can get the right appointment times may be looking good ahead, nige and like have both grasped their chance , as albrighton has - that could never have happened under mon!

I thought Ash was brilliant today, didn't stop running and closing all game.

MOTM for me was Collins

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

...Petrov did enough to get my joint Mom...

I've just laughed and looked in amazement at that. Petrov? What a fucking waste of space and one of the reasons Everton dominated us through the midfield. Him and Downing need to dropped, of which there is no doubt about it.

Thought the defence played very well as well as Friedel. NRC couldn't manage the central midfield on his own, but tried his best to do so, A.Young had some nice touches as did Albrighton.

For those who watched it on TV, was the ref as bad as it looked?

[pmk1981]

Well that was brill. Ref was an arse but sod him.   Radio wm bloke kept saying bob Bradley is hot fav again. but I think that's poo cause general said they are looking for experience and managers that know England and the prem.   would love mark Hughes

I question whether he's fit. He never goes forward for corners anymore, which, to me, looks like becuase he can't be bothered to get forward just to have to get back in defence.

[olaftab]

Just back from VP. PHEEEEEW! We got away with it....we have not been under that sort of pressure even when likes of  Chelsea etc have turned up.

Stand up James Collins you were magnificent today.

Stand up  Nigel Reo-Coker you  covered that pitch  fantastic.

Sit down Stewart Downing we won despite you.

Sit down F in ref (who was he??) we won despite you.

What  has been said about Ireland  injury?

and oh yes  Brad Friedel well done.

[JJ-AV]

Whats this Ashley talk then? Is he off?

I hadn't heard about the bid until I just got back but me and my mate commented that his clap to the Holte was for longer than usual...

Utter balls, all of it.

[PaulTheVillan]

A great result considering we let them play like the home team.

Collins - Superb.
Friedel - Superb.
Dunne & Warnock. Decent enough.

NRC - Full of effort and great ball winning duties, but going forward the bloke doesn't remotely look like a footballer.
Petrov - Too many silly tackles, I think he needs to be replaced, sooner rather than later. Maybe by NRC as a deep/defensive midfielder.

Downing - Do you think The Blues want him? He was utter gash today. No effort, no balls, no fucking nothing.

Carew - Shite first half. Way better in the second half, but looked totally fucked then.

Albrighton and Luke Young were decent down the right, lots of effort.

Cracking goal by Luke Young. Would Cuellar have done that? No.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Should Cuellar get back in the team for the Stoke game?

The question is, should Downing ever play in the team again?
