Everton vs Aston Villa match thread

[Toronto Villa]

Mings doesn’t need to get that close to him there. Daft foul to give away in a dangerous area

[Goldenballs]

Why's Mings jumping into his back, the flick was going straight to Emi.

[Deano's Mullet]

How’s Coutinho been doing?

[Footy-Vill]

I wonder if the half time search party managed to find Coutinho.

Stevie G hopefully told him a few home truths (in an old pals way of course)

Surprised he's not more involved on set plays though

Looks unfit

Who?

[Bad English]

Dean Smith doesn't do that sort of thing to Birmingham

They've got no fans in the stadium to stare at...

STFU about Dean Smith FFS! Jesus wept!

[SamTheMouse]

Mings is pissing me off here. For all his good defensive work, he just makes so many errors.

Give him a break he’s clearly building up match fitness.

McGinn...no right foot.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Coutinho needs minutes to get up to speed, but there is a player in there.

Agree and of course there is.

Looking to gain match fitness is the most polite.
Dropped deep one time to get involved as has been not much involvement
Doesn't take ant of the set plays and I would prefer him in the middle 3 rather than front 3 as hasn't supported Watkins

That said he had the header which led to the corner and goal so has a danger but no magic   not much touches of note apart from picking up and helping cretse a move with Cash and Buendia and suggested he's playing 60 -70minutes today.

More to come from him as quiet really

[Scott Nielsen]

Looks too optimistic to have started Couthinho. He's just not in it so far.
