Everton v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[saunders_heroes]

This is why I was angry we didn't strengthen in the window, midfield is Shit and inept. Must be because the manager doesn't use them he just hoofs it from the back. We're Aston Fucking Villa not Wimbledon Villa II. He promised attacking attractive football and this is not it! Yes we won Wednesday but we played the same style. Your not going to go to places like Everton and get a result playing this way and it's not Fucking good enough. This is just as much Lerner's fault for making him shop at a level where he has to buy this Shit.

Although I think Kozak is a decent player, if money is the issue, I'd have thought 7m on a striker was an infinitely less sensible way to spend money than on a midfielder.

This is true and it's been said on here many times that a striker was not the priority at that time. It has to be a money issue I can see no other explanation, unless it's a wages issue

Of course it's a wage issue. That's why our squad is packed out with players from the lower leagues and abroad.

I got on a plane and we were 1 up. I stepped off the plane the other end and it's 2-1. wtf happened !?

Lerner is not interested. He never turns up. He would be embarrassed at any game, home or away, where none of the opposition directors know him, but all talk to Mr.Ellis.
Lambert is, also, a clown. What a pity that we have these pair at the forefront of our club.

I know people are going on about money constraints but look at Poyet he's managed to turn round a team full of misfits bought by his predecessors. Could you imagine us going anywhere and winning 0-3 any time soon. The long and short of it is Lambert is not a very good manager.

[ROBBO]

I think selling has been his intention for the last year, he has made the books look a lot healthiier and got rid of almost all the high earners, that and two players in January who will cost the club very little. I don't see from his point of view why he would hang around,there is no chance of any glory and no profit in owning a premiership club these days. He came he tried he failed time to move on.

[saunders_heroes]

i don't think he even gets that much stick, to be honest.

The selling up thing, though, he can only sell up if someone is prepared to pay him what he wants for the club. And we only want someone to buy off him if they're going to invest in the club.

It's not like "sack the manager" style arguments. You can't force someone to turn up with the money and desire to buy a football club. Hope for it, yes, but nobody - including Randy - can just make that happen. He's not going to sell for peanuts and walk away from his investment having lost even more money, and why should he?

Very true. The most worrying part is that the longer he owns us the more chance that we'll be relegated. You can't run a Premier League club on Championship style investment and expect us to stay up long term.

Poyet also has them playing good football

Watched it on TV. I thought we were ok first half and just about deserved the lead. We also started the second half ok and the defending was pretty good for the most part though lucky at times and Everton squandered some chances. Once they started pressing more and we began to tire, you sensed Everton would score a couple though and obviously they did.

We do give the ball away far too easily at times and put ourselves under pressure needlessly. I thought the match against Albion on weds may have had a bearing on it as we looked knackered after about an hour. Everton are a good side though too - I can't rember the stat of how many they have lost- I think it was something like 1 in 32. Whatever it is, they're clearly very solid at Goodison . I don't agree with some of the more hysterical posters that we were shite. We just lost to a better side.

Hysterical posters?

You are joking right. This is not a one off, this has been going on for 18 months since PL arrived. Negative football, unable to retain possession, not being able to defend, nothing offensively, poor tactics, poor formation, poor team selection, being loathed by other fans because we are so negative and worst of all anti football

 This was shite of the highest order

Yeah weird that project seems to be working quicker than ours..

Agree, although this they looked pretty poor against us one month ago.

Reckon they might beat us know though.

Note their American owner has been spending some dosh. We have been loaning an overweight has been from Wigan.

We were shite. Nothing hysterical about that.

Game followed the script of 90 per cent of our games. Can't pass. Horrific tactics. Long ball team. Shite manager. Bored shitless now of getting beat and outplayed, we are a non entity at the moment a nd it's a disgrace. No one gets angry anymore there is a culture of acceptance about getting beaten and constant excuses made for terrible football.

We've been shit for most of this season, and last season, and the season before that, and yet fans are classed as hysterical for pointing it out?
At least we're not deluded.
