Aston Villa 0-0 Everton Post-Match Thread

[Small Rodent]

McGinn was my MOTM

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Clean sheet for Emi and Jack is back. That's all really,

Pretty much. SJM is returning to form. The pitch looked great.

[olaftab]

From the BBC: Since the Premier League returned from lockdown in June last season, Emiliano Martínez has made more saves in the competition (162) than any other goalkeeper.

That’s great but does it also show we are not a good team?

McGinn was my MOTM

100%. Must be galling doing the work he does and seeing Barclay trotting around. Thought Luiz looked better too.

Sat down to watch the game at 8, only to realise it had already happened.

Sounds like a lucky escape.

[Brend'Watkins]

Hard earned point which we just about deserved. We need more quality in the summer that’s plainly obvious. Great to see Jack back that’s the best thing about tonight.

[AlwaysVilla]

Davis did his best operating as a lone striker . I thought he worked his socks off like Ollie does with absolutely no support ,guile or creativity from those around him. In fact aside of Jack we only looked dangerous when Davis ran with the ball.  He may not be good enough for a top six team to start regularly I agree , but he is a bloody good sub and has shown that. Of course we need another top class striker but a few of you need to get off his back. Three weeks ago he was hero for his contributions against Fulham and Albion. What short memories you have

Well at least you missed the traffic.

No I wouldn’t say that. It was a messy, scrappy game. There wasn’t a whole lot in terms of actual quality. They had some chances, we had the best one with Mings I think. Nothing in it and given how much Everton have spent to be not much better than us they should be more concerned. We were just ok. They were pretty much the same.

Edit: fuck I read again... I see what you meant about lucky escape. Flew right over my head. Yes you were lucky not to see it

[Meanwood Villa]

Nice to see a clean sheet again. Well played defence and Emi. Shame there wasn't much going forward.

McGinn was my MOTM

Thought he ran out of gas a bit second half and his passing as ever a bit iffy. But had a very good first 70 mins or so. The Luiz/McGinn partnership was in the main dominant tonight. Luiz though was nowhere to be seen for Gomez two chances, still doesn't sense danger enough for me. Can't imagine McGinn was too happy with Luis near the end when he bombed forward out of position in the last few minutes and forced McGinn to take a yellow.

McGinn was my MOTM

He was great.

Upsides. Jack being back, Martinez getting his record and not losing. Downside. We didn't really create anything other than Mings' header which he should have buried. A fair result all round really.

[Allan C]

If that game showed anything it is that AEG and Traore are not good enough for where we want to be. AEG in particular is playing well above his level and his one goal every 50 or so shots dosnt cover that up.

And the three hour build up to the game on now.

[BC Villain]

2 shots on target in 97 minutes.  At home.  Pathetic.
