Aston Villa vs Everton Match Thread

I thought Rogers started brightly with some good passing but decision making has fallen away as the half went on.

Martinez needed to do better with the first but equally Onana losing the ball under a bit of pressure and pretending to be injured irritated me.

If Everton are braver, our defence is there for the taking. If we hook Ramsey and get Duran on I think it could be more interesting.

Whisper it quietly, but Emi has had a really poor start to the season

Onana off Barkley on.

Barkley on for Onana

McGinn looks miles off the pace, he hasn't been at it so far this season.

Agreed. He’s been a magnificent servant for the club but this is the season I think we see him slowly phased out for younger options. He’ll still be an outstanding squad player.

I don't see him totally phased out but when all players fit I said in his thread before season start when does he fit in team
Good to see we are in agreement.
He's covering and doing a job for the team as offers the defensive contribution against the opposition attack.

If Rogers improves his end product, he'll be a hell of a player.

Yeah, he's played fine, it's just his shooting needs improving.

[Footy-Vill]

As I suspected Onana off . Well done Emery.

Good squad player and moved on to club captain rather than team captain before long

It's one of those weird things, teams known to be physical seem to 'get away' with some more than teams not known to be physical.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Move it faster and we will win. The pace of our play has been crap. JJ nowhere near the pace presently, needs hooked.

JJ needs to offer Digne an option wide rather than moving inside where he's surrounded. Rogers and Ramsey need to start carrying the ball better and Rogers needs to stop shooting straight at the keeper. Three great chances wasted.

Despite the goal this has been our worst performance of the season so far.

To be losing is nothing short of embarrassing

That performance is not embarrassing at all. Couple of individual errors certainly but we've had vast amounts of control and with some better decision making in the box could be well ahead. It's not like we're playing a non league team is it, so 'embarrassing' is a bit much

I was more focusing on just losing to everton 2-1 at home is embarrassing.  This everton teams bad very bad.

I just hope there is a vast improvement second half corey as if you want europe again you have to be winning these gamss

I just hope I never have to share a trench with you.

You dont know me personally what a wierd post 😂

Anyway back to the game ..

[PeterWithesShin]

Emi booked

[Demitri_C]

What a pointless booking

[Chris_Jephcott]

That was a bit silly

[TonyD]

I only tuned in to see Ollie’s goal. 
How did Everton score 2 goals??

[kippaxvilla2]

We are so Fcuking slow in build up.
