Five wins out of last eight league games.
Relatively solid performance.
Clean sheet.
Loads of games left.
Sad to think we'll never visit Goodison again as our win rate there is really good. I hope we do as well at the new ground.

What are the odds that Match Day 1 next year will be Everton v. Aston Villa? Probably nailed on.

Thought without a recognised winger we were far too narrow, Mings dominated in the air but overall it was a scrappy win and this tip tappy in our own penalty area does my head in.

Tippy tappy at the back worked last year when we could draw teams in and play around them.

It's harder when they sit on Onana or whoever and know the ball will come back to them. He's a good age to improve, and maybe that's the plan. Plus he's missed a fair few games already through injury during his short stint with us, so there's that.   But either he needs to show improvement accepting the ball deep and getting passes off.

Or we need to consider him more of a box to box type and sign someone to do what Luiz was doing for us throughout 2022 and 2023.

If you're sick of hearing about how Villa-Everton is the most played fixture, just wait and see how you feel about the commentary surrounding the the fixture waiting in the wings to replace it.
This is the absolute truth. Thank God for this fixture. long may it continue.

To go against the grain, I don't mind Everton.

The club, that is (the fans have always been a bit odd/ SHA vibes).

Games against them usually feel like they mean summat.

Sure, if they're down for a few years there's more chance we can outstrip them for total time in the top flight.

But if they did drop it could be ruinous. I'd rather be playing these and Forest etc rather than some of the dreck that's come up in recent seasons.

Unai talking sense there, better 1st half but couldn't control the game 2nd half. For me our biggest drop off from last season is our game management

What i find weird is, we do more or less control things, but when we score it's like a switch gets flicked - we can no longer pass the ball to teammates, players make basic technical errors and the result is we invite pressure.

I wish we'd up the intensity a notch after we score instead, put teams to the sword.

I don’t dislike Everton or their fans. I went to uni in Liverpool and know a few of them. They’ve lived in the shadow of the mighty reds all their lives but they do support a proper football club.

I remember when we were disappointed that we didn’t get Moyes in as manager.  I know he’s had his good times but by God his play is turgid.
We?
No way, I can’t stand the blokes 1 dimensional football.

Plus Villa and Everton were the original rivalry of league football, we contended the league between us for years. They're not the sky6 and have a genuine, old school pedigree, like us. I know it's not mutual and it may be down to distance but I have a quiet respect for them.

It wasn't a perfect performance, but it wasn't 'piss-poor' either. We looked assured in what we were doing and generally played with a quiet confidence that has has been lacking for much of this season. Kamara, Digne and Mings were very good, as were Ramsey and Cash in parts.
What's lacking is - to state the obvious - clinical finishing.

Yes; played okay, with a wonderful pass for the goal. Defended  / covered Cash well.

I thought he had a decent game probably 7/10 but was hampered on the right by Ndiaye who constantly battled with him which limited his amount of ball carrying runs. He did manage to get away a few times one of which was crucial when he played a lovely pass to set up Ollie's goal. Ndiaye was a thorn in our side all night and was the main reason Cash had a bit of a poor game. I like Ndiaye he's quick he's strong and seems to come out with the ball almost every time when he goes into scrap. One to watch.

Not nailed on given there's a fair chance Everton are in a different division to us
