Aston Villa v Everton Match Thread

[hipkiss92]

I'll say this about Unai though - how many really good performances have there been this season? We've been abysmal in every defeat, and going through the wins, we dismissed Everton in third gear, Burnley were their own worst enemies (and very solid relegation candidates), Hibs were out of their depth, we showed spirit against Palace but didn't create much until a wondergoal and a penalty, we survived some hairy moments against a genuinely terrible Chelsea side before winning 1-0 with a man advantage...

I mean I'm not exactly complaining about winning, I promise. I just don't really remember the last time I watched us and thought 'damn, that was top drawer material'. We seem to struggle very badly to get the ball out of our own half and look outnumbered in midfield all the time, like a classic 4-4-2 problem vs. 4-3-3. You can't say it's been excellent, and when it's been bad it's been abhorrent.

I agree with this.  We've picked up results without looking like getting close to the performances of the end of last season.  Its a good habit to get into don't get me wrong, but when we've come unstuck, we REALLY do come unstuck.

We're doing well to get through without 4 key players though in Mings, Moreno, Ramsey and Buendia. The first three of those arguably were the key to our form at the end of last year.

Watkins, what a prick.

Daft of us to release Young, but that's been done to death on here. A lot by me.
