Aston Villa v Everton Match Thread

We're the better team without really creating anything so far (other than the Mings header). I'm not sure the 3rd centre half is adding anything and I think we look like we could do with a creative player in there.

Mcginn going off should have been a good time to change the shape but Smith has gone very negative so nakamba is coming on, that doesn't feel like the right call on the balance of the game so far.

Yup. We're crying out for a winger as neither Targett or Cash are wing backs. I'd be looking to replace Targett at half time with Young.

If it carries on with them just trying to play on the counter attack I'd consider bringing Bailey and Buendia on as the wing backs given we have 3 CBs and 2 DMs right now.

I like to think we'll step up a gear in the second half.

No service to Ings at all yet.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Bailey and Traore on at halftime. Let’s change the dynamic totally.

McGinn is a loss. But given potential concussion, it’s totally the right move.

[Monty]

Ings' main problem is that he has the brain of Dennis Bergkamp but the feet of Danny Ings.

[Demitri_C]

Absolutely dreadful from cash. No idea what he was dojng there

[mr-villa]

well we ain't threatening Europe with this performance or system!!

[Iamkmkm]

Get both Buendia and Bailey on at half time

Why not. A bit pointless sticking with two 'wing backs' that can't cross to our two strikers. Knocking it down the channels for Ings and Watkins to chase seems so pointless which is what we'll be tonight if we don't change things around.

We're not threatening Evertin, let alone Europe.

[dicedlam]

Ings and Tuanzebe off and replaced by Trahore and Bailey.

Watkins and Ings together does not work.

[Demitri_C]

We been ok not great. We really dont need 3 cbs for this game so not sure why smith is playing 3 at the back.

Not impressed with ings. Getting annoyed and moaning alot.

Mings has been excellent and ramsey been good too

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Ings and Tuanzebe off and replaced by Trahore and Bailey.

Watkins and Ings together does not work.

I'd give them a bit of service before judging them.

[Drummond]

We're definitely the better team. We're solid and breaking forward just kissing the odd ball.

Nakamba on and holding with Luiz already looking to push forward.

Ings getting involved more.

[dutchvilla]

Lots of energy and getting into good positions but when we do, it's cash and targett rather than a more skilful attacker.

Signs that the set-pieces are improving though.
