Aston Villa v Everton Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Completely dominant. Should be more in front. But excellent.

I find it frustrating that the punishment for a little shirt pull (both of ours) is exactly the same as a filthy tackle like that from Gueye.

Very impressive half of football. Should be 4 or 5 but that's the only gripe. SJM has been everywhere

[ExclDawg]

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.

Yes, when you get injured, quickly hobble off the field like a man.  No more of this writhing in pain nonsense!

Pickford lucky to still be on. Should have been booked for the foul as well.

[TelfordVilla]

These new shirts are crap. Soaking wet inside the first 20 minutes. Must be difficult to play in them.

[Rigadon]

Total dominance.  Only complaint is that we aren't 5 up.

I reckon a red card in the second half would be worth a bet.

And there’s to be fair.

Need to bring in the black card.

[Proposition Joe]

So are we going to carry on in the second half and get a handsome win, or will there be an early Everton goal after the break and nerves start jangling?

[SoccerHQ]

We're just better than them all over the pitch.

Only massive complacency can stop us winning this game comfortably.

Have to say this is great from Digne if it's a farewell performance, spectacular crossing.

Yeah my only worry is whether it’s Digne or Doug.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Not bad, not bad at all. We look comfortable all over the pitch.

Why would it be a farewell performance?
