Aston Villa v Everton Match Thread

The away fans are even more whiny than your average high-pitched Evertonian.

9minutes, about 6 of which are the DCL tax, I wonder how long he'll be out for this time.

[PaulWinch again]

Got a bit sloppy here.

[pauliewalnuts]

They are starting to get a bit of joy around Digne here.

Can see why Everton will be in the relegation scrap again.

Broken cheek bone must be a tough one. If that's what it is.

English football: Once again trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

No set of fans I spoke to last season felt they were being consistently done out of injury time.

9 minutes is funny farm stuff.

We might even benefit from this today.  But ultimately it's been brought in to benefit the squads with the biggest squads and deepest pockets, same as the five subs rule.

Digne has put some lovely crosses in this half

[pauliewalnuts]

Digne is having an absolute field day today.

Another great cross by Digne.

Not in the slightest, DCL was down 3 times for treatment before he went off and Pickford was booked for time wasting at the penalty, even without any changes I reckon you'd have been looking at 8-9 minutes today.

The only disappointment has been not scoring more than 2.

[JUAN PABLO]

easy



some great performances

Yeah, 3 points is 3 points but it's a great opportunity to cancel out that goal difference from last week.

The simple solution for players who dislike the amount of time added on is to not waste time. Its good that they are finally clamping down on it, and if they have to go slightly overboard initially to prove the point then so be it.
