Everton v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[silhillvilla]

Have to say, the defending for the 2nd goal was a lot worse than the last one.

 That sums up for me why we are in trouble, nobody taking the responsibility of defending.

Clark was woeful for goal 1
Goal 2 was Vlaar Lowton issue
Goal 3 was awful from Vlaar

In a boring mid-table season, a draw away at Everton would indeed be a decent point.  But in a potential, some may say probable, relegation season being 3-1 up away at Everton and only getting a point is a kick in the bollocks, regardless of what people might or might not have thought before kick-off.  Add in some of the other results and it spells a shitty day.

It's all about the points now, and we chucked two away today.  Again.

Just got back and whilst it was disapointing to throw a 3-1 lead away, i'm encouraged somewhat. I personally think we've turned a corner or we're turning it slowly. There looks a lot more fight about us, we scored 3 really good goals but unfortunatley again the defending let us down. I don't think a win is far away.

Oh and the ref was absolutley abysmal. He made Phil Dowd look good.

Tell me if I'm being stupidly biased, but I thought Guzan didn't get much protection from the referee.

Fun fact of the day. In 2 games on Merseyside, Benteke has managed 4 times the number of league goals as Downing has managed in 42 games.

Exactly Clampy. We played well today and  we should be very encouraged by today's performance. Defence is still a big issue though.

He wasn't that bad.

I did'nt notice at the time but now you come to mention it, no he did'nt. The ref was just shocking all over the pitch. The 6 minutes added time just summed him up.

Aren't they told to allow 30 seconds for every goal and substitution which along with other stoppages would make it about right?

Anyway whether the injury time was right or not we still should be capable of defending for six minutes.

There was nothing wrong with the six minutes. The game was probably stopped for more than that just for the Fellaini and Lowton injuries.

At the end of the season, all these dropped points from winning positions will be the death of us. Sad but true

The referee was abysmal. I was only surprised he sidn't wheel away and celebrate with Sideshow Bob.

I'm surprised he didn't carry on with game until Everton scored again.

1 point gained before start of play in regards to the form book, but two points lost over the 98 minutes or so.

Will the point gained be our saviour, or the two points lost our downfall.

Only time will tell.

Love it - I really hate the way that Runaway Weasel acted
