Anyone else think Mings was a bit fortunate to escape a red? Seems to be a bit of payback for DLC stamping on his heel earlier in the game. Made a great tackle at end to clear with his right foot!

Yes, I think he was very fortunate. Other way, I would have been asking for a red.

I thought there was an element of payback to the tackle. I think most of the time you'll get away with it but it could have gone against him. No need to take the risk with a tackle like that on the halfway line. Still, no harm done, and other than that he was fantastic.

A red for that challenge would've been very harsh.

I thought Mings was very good tonight, played like a real leader. Yes he makes the odd mistake but he makes us a better team and his partnership with Konsa in front of Martinez is the best defensive unit we've had for years.

Villa v Everton games are usually very good. This one reminded me of 1977 Wembley final.
It was bad, but wasn't that bad.

It's absolutely clear that we have to go out this summer and bring in at least two players who can take the pressure of Jack. That certainly isn't Berkley.  AEG, Traore and Davis isn't a match made in heaven.  Pleased for Emi, be fantastic to break the record.

Nice to see Jack coming on from the Bench and made some fantastic runs but also some passes that were not spectacular. Hopefully he starts against Crystal Palace.

   Here is your answer!
"On Grealish:"The medical staff said [bring him on at minute] 75 but I twisted their arm to get a few more minutes out of him. I felt we were flat in the final third and needed a spark. He won't be ready to start at Crystal Palace."

To be honest I can live with that. Have pretty much written off the rest of the season but want more nice win against a scummy team to send us into the summer in a good mood.

Don't have any particular issue with Palace.

Get Jack fit for when we play those twats Tottenham and Chelsea and let's turn, at least one of, them over.

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

Agree with this totally. I certainly would not give up on him just yet.

The club need to somehow work on his self-belief and confidence. Get him to be more selfish when the half-chances open-up, those that he mainly creates for himself with his physicality and turn-of-speed.
Get some coaching from a single-minded, selfish f**ker, someone like Ian Wright.

I thought Davis did OK. Lone striker role isn’t his bag and we didn’t exactly do him many favours in the support he got from elsewhere.

Mings does have an edge to how he plays and he oversteps the mark on occasions, certainly not popular amongst opposition fans but we've all longed to have players opps can't stand and he's one of them.

Thought it was a great clearance at the end. We know he's got the odd mistake in him but I think generally he's played much better from xmas than he did first half of the season even if defensively it hasn't quite reflected in the stats.

We should have been two-up in the first half alone. I'm still wondering how Mings has missed that free header?

If Watkins had played we probably would have been a touch more clinical and nicked it 1-0. Oh well, if you can't win, don't lose!
