Everton v Aston Villa Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

I wonder if Wednesday took a fair bit out the players and that is why we've struggled today.

[Matt Collins]

All the stuff about our lack of quality is true

But the way the team was set up today meant we were never going to keep it today. We've already seen the type of performance we got v man city and Southampton playing this way. And with no gabby outball, it was never gonna be pretty

[PaulWinch again]

Just knew Naismith would score. And by running past all three of our centre backs FFS. This 'hanging on' style of play is unattractive and unlikely to be successful in the long term or against good opponents.

Completely agree.

to be frank I had this down as a loss so a point would be a bonus!

True, a few weeks ago, not many of us thought we'd get anything from the triumverate of Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton

[Hampshire Villa]

Still think we'll go up there and score a sweaty goal

 That would be great but can't see it! We are just inviting them on to us!

Derby 3-1 up against you know who, as if we care

[Matt Collins]

I think a 433 with gabby in the side and we could have won this

[Deano's Mullet]

blues 1-3 derby

[Dribbler]

There's only one side playing football in this game, and it isn't us!

Not sure why people have been complaining. I thought weve done really well against a very good everton team who havent been beaten at goodison for a while. Personally I think weve made them look very ordinary.

Fuck you Lambert. 4 points from 6 by ATTACKING and then you serve up this SHIT.

We are a far,far better team when we try and play, than sit back like this.

I reckon that will be Lambos excuse....

[mattjpa]

The gulf in quality between us and them is unbelievable. Westwood - what is the point

[PeterWithesShin]

Vlaar off, Alby on.

[peter w]

Eh? Vlaar?
