Everton v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Garyth]

Yep I see what you mean. I know we tend to want to engineer the opposition with certain triggers for us, but even just our passing has gone up a level. A bit more zip to our play.

Agreed. One of the reasons I think we look so ponderous this season is that opposition are doing everything in their power now to avoid giving us any space. We haven't adapted as well as we should - our passing in the last few games has been awful.

Another let off.

[SamTheMouse]

Both of these teams look like Championship-standard shite.

With this, I do back Emery to see what and tweak it for us. We'll adapt I think. I just wanted us to start more professionally this year, we've looked sloppy and disinterested.

Ffs Emery, get Digne off

Who for?

Maatsen, there's loads of space on that flank and he can't be any worse defensively

[PeterWithesShin]

Digne down.

[Tuscans]

Lovely bubble on Dignes bonce.

[Demitri_C]

Looks a nasty one for  digne

[Toronto Villa]

This is going to end 0-0 or 1-0 to them. Let’s be fair, they’ll have deserved it if they win it on what we’ve put up so far.

[Somniloquism]

Surely has to go off now for concussion protocols.

[martin o`who??]

We're determined to end this unbeaten run against them aren't we?.

[enigma]

That looks really nasty doe Digne

[PeterWithesShin]

Digne back on.

[brontebilly]

Martinez has to hold that cross

[PeterWithesShin]

Tim off. Merlin on. Hopefully he doesn't weave any magic.
