Everton v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[levico]

Beginning of the end I'm afraid.  Can't see us emerging from the bottom three ever.

That ref was a biased twat, was waiting for him to give them a penalty at the first excuse. Free kick count was something like 30 - 5 in their favour, how Osman stayed on the pitch for his ’tackle' on Bennett I don't know, I'm sure the card would have been a different colour the other way around.

Clarke is not physical enough to play against a strong centre forward.

Westwood is a nice tidy player but defensively offers very little.

Forwards will score the goals to keep us in the league - just.

Everton created bugger all, but the free kicks & corners eventually told.

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

The only result that hasn't gone for us today is Reading winning all the others around us were as we would have wanted surely?

Best ignore the Newcastle result then.

Never considered them to be one of the teams who would be involved at the death.  Its three from QPR, Villa, Wigan, Reading and Southampton.  Simple and if we can't get in front of three of them we don't deserve to stay up because most of us would probably say overall we have better players than all of them.  Just got to get them to perform.

I think 36 will see a side safe.

'The lads gave everything. I can't praise the team high enough. We just have to see the game out." But Paul we don't, we never see the fucking game out.

The man is a bumbling joke.

Groundhog Day.
How many times does it have to happen ?

[Whiney MacWhineface]

I thought that was pretty good all in all. The spirit was good, the attacking excellent when we did it, but the defending was a bit pish. Well, a bit more than pish on occasion.

Gutted to concede the win, but keep that going forward and we'll win a few.

[PeterWithe]

We actually defended very well on the whole.

But still conceded 3. The equaliser was completely predictable, it pisses me off that we didn't even concede well worked goals, just a lump into the box and and a header on the six yard line. If, by the grace of God, we stay up and RL loosens the purse string, I'd buy a new keeper, fuck knows who but he'd be 6.7 at the least.

[Goldie.7]

As soon as i saw Holman coming on the inevitable was bound to happen.

[eastie]

Cannot stay up if you need to score at least 3 to win a game - defence is shocking and vlaar no improvement whatsoever - very poor to throw away an away game in the last minutes for the 3rd game in a row.

[Hoppo]

Good point.. Same old over reactions.

People have been spouting that for ages, but we don't ever win, because our defence is a fucking joke.  So no, we won't win a few, we'll be lucky if we win another game all season.

Have you noticed that we're deeper and deeper in relegation trouble with every passing game?
