Everton v Aston Villa Match Thread

what a disgusting first half - everything about anything in that ground since 3pm has been vile.

[SoccerHQ]

From 58% possession we've had three shots with one on target. No corners.

Youri also walking off with the medical stuff so he might not make it back out.

We need to be using the subs bench soon.

That was worse than many of us predicted.

Not by design we somehow managed to get to halftime without conceding. What's going on with playing out from the back have midfield not been informed?

Cash needs to come off as we cant afford to play with 10 men again.

[Matt C]

Well, the long sleeves look cool.

[Garyth]

i don't hate the in-possession setup of Bogarde dropping into the backline so Cash can get more high up the pitch - but we're just not getting enough of the ball to see it.

I'm holding onto the idea we're going to be more proactive in the 2nd half. 🤞🏼

And another half without even a shot on target. I'm getting worried.

[Tuscans]

No changes at HT, guaranteed. We'll see Torres in the 74th minute to add an extra dimension to the attack.

[Proposition Joe]

We got more into it as the half went on, but we still don't look like we know how to create a chance, let alone score a goal.

[Tuscans]

Sky saying what a fantastic atmosphere in the stadium. Lies.

I'm fairly sure Sherwood just has the volume on his headphones turned up high!!

Generally poor.

No width but we have improved breaking their lines in the last 20 mins.

This still looks uninspired and lethargic.

We had a corner. I'm sure we had a corner.

BBC have us down as having one. Might have been a back-pass power though.

[Garyth]

I think we'll see some aggressive changes around 60 min - Guessand & co.

[SamTheMouse]

We're so narrow, it's ridiculous. Condenses all the play into the middle and they crowd us out with ease.

Not until they score though.
