Everton vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[manic-road]

Everton sucked us into a physical battle which obviously suited their shite "style" of hoofball and we fell for it, Tielamans played some lovely passes when he came on. Hope he starts the next game.

W6 D3 L1 in our last 10. We're still doing ok.

Yeah we could do with winning that Newcastle game though.

Newcastle are 17th in form for the last 10, W3 D0 L7. We're 3rd. 1 point behind Liverpool and Bournemouth.

In a nutshell, this had everything that I dislike about Everton, awful football, awful ground, awful players, awful manager awful supporters. I said in the pre-match thread we need to find ways of beating teams like this and for a large part of the first half I thought we had. Unfortunately we descended to their level in the second half. Thought Kamara was excellent though and Tielemans was good when he came on. Overall a good point

Performance-wise though, Man Citeh was a masterclass but every game since we haven't really reached the consistency of 80% of our league games up to that point this season.

Well we could play the endlessly sexy football of Spurs, and be W4 D2 L4.

Tielemans needs to be careful though. He got fouled two times in the passage of play after jug ears tried to dismember Moreno and was booked  .

All the time Coleman was running around demented. Ref completely lost it 2nd half.

I think we were the better team and unlucky not to win.  To be honest, its not an awful result but we do seem to struggle to breakdown teams currently. 

I think its too many injuries and off form players in a small squad (most of them attacking minded ones).  Zanilio is a massive downgrade on Beundia unfortunately,  Diaby is clearly a quality player but has had more off days than on in the last 15 games.  Ramsay just doesnt look right since he came back (maybe linked to why he wasnt available today), and Tielemans looks quality now he has settled and just unfortunate hes been injured. 

Pau missing is also big - I think without him, it makes Konsa at right back more of an issue as we dont have someone breaking the lines, nor any additional threat on the right. 

We also need to stop getting drawn into silly fights

A new rightback, and maybe a swap of Zanilo for someone else would be great but looks unlikely.

True and we are a little more street-wise and organised than them but we're lacking spark at the moment and that can be difficult to find again.

David Coote was also the ref for the Brentford game. I can see the common denominator for our 2 niggly as feck games this season.

Watkins did ok considering he didn’t get much service.

Bailey and Diaby didn’t do much.

McGinn was poor.

Longlet did ok.

Everton are ugly. Imagine watching that shit week in week out?

That crowd would be the same if they won the fucking league.  Moaning, whining ******.

Newcastle fell apart in the second half yesterday,  classic sign of a team with low confidence.
