Everton vs Aston Villa Match Thread

The thing is, if we had a situation vacant at the moment, I think Moyes would come here and he'd improve us a lot. I think he's had a good break and recovered somewhat from Utd, and obviously, LVG's struggles will have helped him.

However I expect Randy to hold off till the bitter end. Particularly now as sacking Lambert would mean a payoff on a four year contract.

What are you drinking???

I was gonna ask you the same sir.

Lambert isn't going to be going anywhere. That four year contract was only, what, a couple of months ago? Ink will still be wet on it.

Lamberts completely untouchable and he knows it, he will never feel any real pressure to get a result.

Nobody is asking you to give up. If you look, I said the defending has improved, but what about everything else?

To be honest, whilst I think the results aren't going our way at the moment, and the football isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, I think that the team is a lot more headstrong than it has been in recent years. I think that the inclusion of Cleverley has added an ability to add good balls in the box as seen against Arsenal before it all went tits up. We haven't been scoring, but Benteke is back and he's been missing big time. I'd be surprised if we finished below 13th this season.

The best of Clark is coming out now

We're not realistically in danger of relegation. So what are we playing for?

[gpbarr]

Not sure what's worse - the game or the nonsense negativity on here. We have had a decent start to the season, lost to three teams guaranteed to be in top 4, and granted are playing poorly today.

Hardly the end of the world.

And there it is again. I glad someone keeps remind me that we should accept that we can't play out with the big boys but should look forward to playing the with the shit ones.

Just reality, is all. If you want to change that, find us the hundreds of millions that will allow us to change that reality

We should have been far more adventurous against Everton today. They've been poor this season. We've made it so easy for them. That's not good enough. And I don't care who the opposition is, if you lose four on the spin without looking remotely close to competing or scoring in any of the games, then it's hard to recover from. We've been utterly hapless for four games, irrespective of the opposition and it's now loaded us with immense pressure to beat QPR because there's 3 more tough games to follow the R's.
For anyone not bricking it. Congratulations, you've got a stronger stomach than me.

Maybe there's a clause in our favour. Something like 'Six months money if we sack you for continuing to be unspeakably shit'.

[PeterWithesShin]

Could/should have scored.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

It's difficult to understand what this co-commentator is saying with Everton's dick in his mouth.

[Stu]

Good idea with the free kick there, shame.

So are Champions League contestants Liverpool not big boys?

Mass hysteria, just because Everton have had a poor start we assume we should go to a top 6 side and win?

Granted we have played poorly but deary me.

Here's hoping we win some of the more winnable games approaching, then, but it worries me that the last two years, we've said precisely that - we've got some easier games coming - and then failed to win them.

There's no disgrace in losing to the likes of Chelsea or Man City, but I'd rather we'd done so having shown some signs of improvement, that's my concern.

That's the only saving grace really. The bottom 3 are already cut adrift and look dreadful.

Great ball in, Andi should have scored
