Everton v Aston Villa Match Thread

[pablo_picasso]

It looks like a game between 2 lower league teams. We have rarely shown any style or class. We are allowing it to develop into the sort of game Everton want, scrappy.

I thought we had a decent period halfway through where we kept the ball well and looked threatening.  Just shown the replay of the disallowed goal and it still isn't exactly able to freeze it when the ball is played, which could have made the difference. 

Bailey and Diaby in the crane team doesn't really work in games like this.  Would consider Tielemans coming on for one of them soon.

This is usually the frame image they have when the ball is released...



Impossible to tell when it is actually released from those still frames & makes measuring the ball receiver to the value of a gnats pube, utterly pointless.

Diaby watching that ball sail across the box rather than moving for it 😮‍💨

[Gareth]

They are much more robust in the challenge than we are but we have way more quality on the ball….needs to be class over brawn.

Moreno getting the type of space Digne did in the VP fixture…

Still would prefer Konsa at CB and Cash at RB than Carlos at CB but let’s see what 2nd half brings

We need more from the front three. None of them are threatening, we need to find a way to get them more in the game.

If we were tackling like them this ref would've shown us 5-6 yellows by now.

[Martyn Smith]

Carlos should have made a sub decision for Emery there...

[Dave]

Daft yellow for DC

[JUAN PABLO]

watkins  touch           not good there

[Holy Trinity]

I have an awful feeling we don't finish this game with 11 on the field.

It starts at point if contact,  not release

[Martyn Smith]

Is that Ian Woan there, IW?

[brontebilly]

Might be an opportunity to take Carlos off now after that ridiculous yellow. His passing is dreadful too.

Maybe they should be hoisted off.

Watching this in the Irish Pub with Peter MacParland's grandson of all people - who is, of all things, Everton. Also, world's most dyspeptic man.

I’d like to see some changes soon.  They’ve dragged us down to their level and we need to beat crap teams like these.
