Everton v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Dave Clark Five]

I was disappointed that Lambert bought on Sylla for N'Zogbia and not KEA. It's the same thing he did against Albion and all we do is get more defensive. I'd rather he bought Dawkins on maintained a fresh attacking outlet.

Agree fully, we are much better with Zog on these days. He's finally starting to look like a £10m player.

He is the proverbial 'new signing'. Looks very dangerous.

N'Zogbia looks a lot happier - and more effective - in a central role. Excellent bit of play in supplying Benteke for the first.

He still looks only a 4 - 5 mill player tome me, which is nevertheless a big improvement on the 500k he looked before.

The real annoying thing is that the problem most other clubs struggle to solve - strikers and GK - we actually have top 6 quality.

It would be a real shame if we only got a single year from a player of Benteke's quality and even that did us no good at all. Just as bad if we cannot get Weimann to commit to a deal.

I thought at times last season he looked disinterested when he was played out wide.  He obviously prefers playing in a more central role, though I am still concerned about his work rate and defending in that position.

He needs to add some goals now. He scored something like 10 times for Wigan in the run in to help them stay up. We could do with a bit of the same. Mind you, it will be for nothing if we can't keep the score down.

[JUAN PABLO]

I think the point is: are we holding him up for ridicule? I don't think so.

There's a woman in Guildford with a beard, you can find her on Google.

Ive met her . I did a radio show there and as I walked back to the car with my band mates , we say her . I never forgot it , we even talked about it this friday to my girlfriend who kept saying you was mistaken , it must have been a bloke .

Thanks for this Damon , I thought I was going mad at the time .

Very unlucky in recent games, great Strikes either hitting posts or keeper pulling off top drawer saves. Hopefully he'll get a goal v west ham.

Ha ha!

But very true in this instance. He has added to his game that which has been missing; a final ball.

He is looking very good of late.

As for KEA I thought he was hit and miss. At times he wasn't getting close enough to his marker, but then just as I was about to shout something at him, he would.

I think Sylla will be alright in this league. There was an occasion where he won the ball off Sideshow Bob and held the elbow merchant off while he span 180 degrees. Brute force and power count for a lot in this league.

[Dr Butler]

Happy with a point as I did not think we would get any, annoyed that when it said 6 mins I just had the feeling that they would score.

3 goals away from home and probably should of had another, must beat Wet Sham Sunday.

Back to the lack of a captain issue, I think. Somebody to just keep him on his toes

We miss Dunne and his leadership.

He looked crap because of McLeish. He was bought to replace Downing ostensibly, which is stupid because anyone who ever saw him play at Wigan knows he played his best stuff there in the channels, driving into the box behind a striker. When you get him out wide, he just looks to come back inside, ends up running into his teammates and losing possesion.

Didn't see enough of Sylla to judge, but thought KEA was improved.  I think any two from them and Westwood for the rest of the season should provide us with a bit of strength and stability in the centre.

Overall I thought it was a good performance and despite the heart break of their equaliser, we dealt with the other set pieces better.  Everton are a strong and competitve side, so that corner in isolation wouldn't be a cause for concern.

Also should be mentioned that Lowton put in two excellent crosses for two of our three goals.  More of that, please!

Play like that for the rest of the season and I think we'll stay up!

I thought westwood crossed for gabbys goal?
Granted lowtons cross for benteke was perfect.

We need two players who can win the ball and get it wide or into Charlie.

If they can drop the shoulder and bomb on a bit then great, but lets keep it simple. Which two out of KEA, Sylla, Delph, Bannan, Ireland and Westwood are most likely to offer that at any given time?
