Everton v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[saunders_heroes]

What an absolute fuckin sickener. Yet another set piece, yet another fuck up. Dreadful defence yet that muppet didnt think strengthening the defence was a priority.

Lambert will get in the neck because he didn't do anything about the defence. He's taking us down.

[Toronto Villa]

How many fucking times? Tell me. This isn't a this season thing, it feels like every year. We have thrown away our PL place because we simply cannot do basic things. Defending fucking corners, taking them, just basic disciplines of the game. That's down to the players and to coaching and we are inept in both areas.

It was all so inevitable.  Results around us have not been great either.

[django]

We just didn't keep the ball well enough. Especially after it was 3-2. Why do we boot the ball long from goal kicks? Why go for the fourth goal rather than take the sting out of the game. Gabby had the right idea walking off slowly. We are so shit at the sort of thing that Newcastle excelled at the other day, stopping the opposition from building up momentum.

At 3-1 all the results fell into place for us. Then it all went to shit again.

Vlaar may look the part but he's far from good enough.

[SoccerHQ]

In fairness our away form for a bottom 3 team is quite good, it's our horrendous results at Villa Park that are sending us down.

Even more useless is Lambert. Why oh why has he refused to even sign one defensive player this window seeing as our attacking players are finally turning up this season.

It's criminal that they're having to score 2 and 3 goals a game just to get a point from games.

[PaulWinch again]

Other teams around us all picking up points as well. We#re now 6 points behind Newcaslte. You simply can't defend like we do and survive, but we all know that and Lambert did nothing to address it.

[TonyD]

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.

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.

oooops, obviously that should be 3 points, not 2.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

The last 3 away games in the league.Swansea, Baggies, now Everton. We could have won all three, 6 points thrown away due to schoolboy defending.

[Irish villain]

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.

Vlaar may look the part but he's far from good enough.

Most overrated Villa player in years. Concrete, my arse.

[pbavfckuwait]

so so nearly there today but why is no one surprised we have to learn how to hold onto a lead, everyone on the pre match thread said what Fellani would do why did our Manager not do something about it. Point more than I expected quite a few good points but for god sake sort out our defending 3 goals away from home and get nothing what the f...

Agreed, this is where Lambert IS to blame. Our attacking players won't relegate us, having blind faith in Clark and Bennett WILL.
