Everton vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[olaftab]

Hoping the wheels havent come off this season.

I don't think so but its going  to be hard going to secure fourth.

[nick harper]

That was a really poor tackle by Tarkowski on Diaby. Reckless and endangered the opponent. It’s a penalty despite getting the ball.

[dekko]

We certainly created enough to win that and didnt look under too much threat, so shame not to get 3pts.

That said, a clean sheet and a point away from home is always a decent result if you back it up with wins at home, which i'm confident we will do.

[Dave P]

We got Dyche-balled. We lost to Forest on a similar game so I’m glad we can mix it too.

I put on the match thread that we take the 0-0 and move on.

[Smirker]

? what is out of our hands?

He's joking mate.

[KevinGage]

A shame the ref couldn't head one in for them, it was the only way they were going to score.

Turgid Dycheball bobbins.

On the plus side, that prat can't ref us every week.

[PaulWinch again]

Not great. Pau is so important to our attacking game - where is he?! At least we didn’t lose, but we looked off it for the most part.

[N'ZMAV]

Everton didn't try to win. We played Ok, but lacked creativity at times.
Tarkowski, Onane and Coleman can go play on the motorway.
Referee hadn't a clue.

[Grocer]

We didn't play badly and were the better team, but sometimes I feel like we need to show a bit more urgency. The game was there for the taking. We matched them physically though, we're no longer pushovers that's for sure.

Ref was pathetic, pointless yellow cards given.

Lenglet my MOTM plus Moreno did well and Tielemans made a difference when he game on.

[Brazilian Villain]

? what is out of our hands?

The title, I believe.

[Proposition Joe]

Something seems to have gone a little stale with our play in the final third. The zip/conviction isn't there at the moment.

[PhilVill]

Most frustrating part of that is we fell for Dyche's tactics and went to their level. Horrible team, awful ground and a dinosaur as a manger. Please let thus be the season they go. Will take the point and move on. Newcastle will go toe to toe with us and hopefully a Torres and JJ fit.

[London Villan]

Interesting taking Bailey and Diaby off - missed that pace, but in Emery we trust.

Need a couple of fresh faces and key players to fit and firing. The break has come at the right time for us.

[LeeB]

The biggest relief is that donkey assassin Tarkowski didn't take out one or more of our players for the season/ ever.

[Villafirst]

It had to happen - a 0-0. A point away and a clean sheet isn't the worst outcome. What happened to Pau? We are so much better and balanced when he plays. And Ramsey? apparently injured ffs! Where did that come from?! He was pictured training only a couple of days ago.
