Everton v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Footy-Vill]

We are being rinsed down our right flank.

You hate to see it. Ashley Young on sooner rather than later.

Thats down to the clueless captain McGinn not able to get out there as gets dragged inside.
Ill disciplined and hindering!

McGinn looks like he has concrete boots on today but Cash is the sole reason why our right flank is getting rinsed. Can't block a cross. Can't judge the flight of a cross field ball. Happy to play the finger pointing game with Konsa, mind.

It's McGinn he keeps going 'inside'. He seems lost to me and disrupting the balance. I rather push Cash up and Young on than have the clueless captain wondering where to play. Doesn't help Bailey ineffectiveness either but for me the Captain is sub par and doesn't understand the system.

I’d genuinely rather have El Ghazi or Trez than Bailey. He offers so very little, we were absolutely rinsed when we bought him.

I think El Ghazi would have gone up a level under Emery. Nothing like world class, but technically he was much better than Bailey.

[Russ aka Big Nose]

Looks like no changes at HT. Bailey living a charmed life.

If Everton take the lead we will lose this match because so far they have easily kept us out and will make it more difficult if they are ahead.

[Risso]

McGinn has been no worse than anybody else, and better than Ramsey and Bailey, both of whom are in rotten form and shouldn’t be in the team.

Keep possession, is what we need to do. They're Burnley lite so will keep giving away free kicks and picking up yellows and the crowd will go so high pitched only dogs will be able to hear them.

[Risso]

Bloody hell Digne, what was that exactly?

If Everton take the lead we will lose this match because so far they have easily kept us out and will make it more difficult if they are ahead.

I agree, if they score first there's no way we're getting back into it.

[Rigadon]

When was the last time Digne had a game where you thought he was good at either defending or attacking?

[Villa Lew]

Need to see more of those runs from Ramsey.

[JUAN PABLO]

Luis great play , tomdigne ,then wank

[Risso]

Luiz loses it cheaply now.

[pauliewalnuts]

Some of our passing is truly atrocious.

If anyone puts the slightest pressure on us when we have the ball we just panic and give it to them.

[JUAN PABLO]

Stop overplaying it ,taken the man on again ,losing it ,instead of a pass .


Eg Luis

[Risso]

Part of the trouble is that out of possession we have 6 people drop back into defence, so if we win the ball back we’re short on numbers further up the field.
