Aston Villa v Everton Match Thread

Booing at Old Trafford. How amusing

Those Dammed United fans.

What a game.

Delph has been excellent. Really into Bacuna at right back - Lowton is going to struggle to get back in. Imagine if one of them was left-footed...

Good half, could have 3-4 and they could have had a couple so I'm going to say we edged it.  Oddly there could been more chances but we were too eager to get it forward and they were too slow, if either side resolves that they'll boss the 2nd half.

Benteke makes us work with the style we're playing.

[Rigadon]

I only saw from about half way through so seem to have missed most of the talking points.  Good tempo to us today - Delph continues to look really good. 

Open game and one we could really do with winning if we're going to build some momentum toward the top half.  Would be good to come away worthy and comfortable winners.

I think we have been good at times

Delph and vlarr looked great

Weimann looks out of sorts

should be winning

[Stu]

We're doing ok, we're matching them. Our final ball isn't there yet, the passing seems to peter out once we get to the 18 yard box. Everton have defended in numbers and Tim Howard is having a great game for them.

Great save by Guzan, we wouldn't have deserved to be going in 1 down at half time. An even match so far.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on Christian a second half hat trick would be nice.

Hate to say it but this game is following the trend of recent performances, outplay the opposition, look like we should be 2 or 3 up, go on to lose by the same margin. Hope I'm wrong.

[beness]

more enjoyable playmaking. Hopefuly we can continue at this pace and get a few at the Holte End.

[David_Nab]

Playing ok just lacking quality in the wide positions.I like Weimann but out wide he is not too effective certainly beating the fullback with skills is beyond him.Benteke looks little of pace as does Gabby

[Toronto Villa]

Hate to say it but this game is following the trend of recent performances, outplay the opposition, look like we should be 2 or 3 up, go on to lose by the same margin. Hope I'm wrong.

What recent trend is that then? Didn't we beat Man City a couple of games ago?

[Flamingo Lane]

Hate to say it but this game is following the trend of recent performances, outplay the opposition, look like we should be 2 or 3 up, go on to lose by the same margin. Hope I'm wrong.

I don't remember those games.

[Fergal]

If we show a bit of quality and composure we can win this.

[bilsim]

The term recent performances was incorrect on my part. More correct to say the past couple of years. The fact that we beat Man City doesn't change the fact that we've lost a lot of games after starting the stronger over the past few years.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Great improvement on recent Villa Park performances. We look like we actually know what we're doing for once, a great entertaining game that's only missing a goal. I doubt Everton will play such an open game second half, Martinez mush surely realise we're creating far too many chances. I'm expecting them to close the game down and defend deep hoping to catch us on the break.

Really enjoying this game. Let's just hope come full time we've got the three points.
