Everton v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

You make your own luck so let's not blame the referee.

We all knew we needed to buy an defender and start defending corners.

That's why we are looking nailed on for relegation.

Anything less than three points in the next game is almost unthinkable.

By continually giving them corners that should have been goal kicks he caused us to be under even more pressure.

You get the feeling if we score 6 we'll concede 6, if we score 8 we'll concede 8.  That's 6 points we've thrown away against Swansea, Albion and Everton from winning positions.  Which is why we will go down. A chance lost to gain points on QPR and Wigan.   And Reading have won again.   

[PaulWinch again]

We've thrown away so many games through diabolical defending of set pieces it's just unforgivable.

[myf]

i can't take  much more of this. its like a reoccuring nightmare week after week.

other results mean we're even more in the shit now

[sidcowans10]

I cant help but think that with the other results today, we will look back and think this was the day that really shfted us ( not that the rest of the season hasnt)

[saunders_heroes]

Most people had us down for a serious pasting.  We almost won despite a ref which by all accounts was a disgrace.   

A point on the board.    Well done lads.

Nonsense. 3-1 should have been 3 points in the bag.

how can it be a disgrace when we have picked up a point at a team going for the champions league and scored 3 away from home ?
yes the defending was in question again, but if you read the pre match thread most of you guys were saying Everton were going to rip us apart,
 they didnt, they couldnt even win at home, we are dissapointed because we were 3-1 up it doesnt make the performance shit or a disgrace

in fact just saying that after a performance like that is a fucking disgrace

You don't make your own luck that's completely idiotic! He never gave us one 50/50 decision.

[Summers]

So the second goal comes from a free kick that wasn't a foul.
And the third a corner that wasn't a corner.

Osman stays on after karate kicking Westwood.

Every single tackle or coming together is an Everton free kick.
Guzan is fouled on almost every corner.. get nothing.

[Proposition Joe]

7 goals in our last 3 away league games, leading in all of them going into the last 10 minutes. Two up in 2 of them. Total points 2.

Lambert should pin that up on the wall and tell the defence to start contributing.

... and hang the lot of them on meat-hooks for 24 hours every time they concede from corners.  Let's see how often they lose their concentration then, eh.

[ez]

Crap defense. No matter how many we score they'll concede just as many.

[Martyn Smith]

Refuse to be disappointed with a 3-3 draw away at Everton. However to be 2 goals up and still only come away with a draw, with their equaliser coming in injury time from a corner, is something you could have put any amount of money on...the same problems remain...

England are thrashing Scotland at rugby on BBC1. Will bury head in that for 30 minutes and try to forget round ball woes.

Get a grip mate. 3-1 we should have won the game. Now we're in a worst position than we were in before we kicked off. What's to be pleased about?

[Monty]

Huge week next week. Toon go to Spurs, Wigan go to Chelsea (who have been seemingly on a mission to do nothing but wreck our season), Reading go to Stoke, QPR go to Swansea and we are at home to West Ham. This is the best chance we could have, realistically, for all the results in one weekend to go our way. You just know we'll piss it up.
