Everton vs Aston Villa match thread

[JUAN PABLO]

Id get duran on HT - he at least  hits the target , Luca has been poor too .

[Richie]

We have been the better side by a country mile. Playing some decent stuff. Just need to make our superiority count second half and stick a couple of these chances away.

[Rigadon]

I’m sorry but we miss too many chances to be a proper threat.  That’s the standard 3 or 4 absolute golden chances to score wasted against an utterly shite side devoid of any idea what to do.  The atmosphere sounds flat there despite the whining. 

If we don’t win this one I think it’s fair to downgrade our CL 2025/26 aspirations.

Half-time so I Just turned over to the Arsenal Spurs match The difference is it’s a lot faster with people running around.

It's a local derby and spurs play like fucking headless chickens at the best times so isn't a surprise

[algy]

Lacking intensity, intent and intelligence.

Infuriating.

interesting interpretation

Incisive insight

was just thinking the same , so much faster

[Demitri_C]

On the verge of being a very good away performance, but not quite.

Yep, that's how I'm seeing it, surprised there's so many complaints on here.

I think the main complaints  are about how we again are misisng so many chances and we usually end up being punished for that.

Its unforgivable missing  some of these chances. We should be out of sight by now!

[Proposition Joe]

Whenever we play these crappy teams it's like the old adage of never get into an argument with an idiot - they will bring you dowm to their level and beat you with experience. And so it is - Everton are much better at this crap, sloppy, aimless football than we are. We should start to play the good stuff.

I think we are crying out for Durans explosiveness here

[Chip Butty 111]

Everton got away with one there, should be 0-2. Watkins needs a tap in before 70 mins to get his head right or Jhon will be on again.

[wolfman999]

I missed the first half hour because they keep fucking around with kick-off times.

Lucky you!

[eamonn]

Have to score the first one here.

Apparently it’s because it’s a local derby

I’m sure we’ll see him sooner rather than later. Watkins seems to have gone hiding since his chance.
