Everton vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Tuscans]

How many saves have the opposition keepers made against us...1, maybe 2?

3 v Newcastle, 2 against Brentford, 4 against Palace, 1 today.

If you mean actual saves rather then back-pass level stops, then you are probably correct.

Factoring in we didn't score then those numbers aren't great reading.

It is a good job that we have had two weeks to prepare for that utter shit otherwise it could have been much worse!

xG this season, opponent xG in brackets

Newcastle 0.13 (1.47)
Brentford 1.23 (1.27)
Palace 1.13 (2.67)
Everton 0.54 (2.17)

2 points is good going then!

Probably more 2-3 days considering most were away.

I know we all love Unai, but I wonder if we need a fresh perspective. Iraola gets a tune out of these players.

Yes, that’s knee jerk and probably premature. But…

He certainly needs some help as right now he can't see the wood from the trees. A Ferguson 'Carlos Queiroz' type appointment to give him a new set of eyes and ideas wouldn't go amiss not that Unai would ever think or agree to it.

I mentioned pre-match that Kamara and to an extent Onana missing is a big hole in the defensive midfield area, and it showed. UE said they're both close to returning, thankfully.

Very worrying. How we went from CL heroes to this is alarming. I can’t see Unai wanting to stay.

It’s in his hands to stay by making changes to change the performances.

4 - Aston Villa have failed to score in their opening four league games of a season for the first time in their history. Blank.

[Demitri_C]

Slow pedantic predictable without creating virtually nothing just like the previous three games. We have gone from a team looking like we can beat any team to a team that would struggle to score past Coventry

Emi motm but this is a tad alarming that we are playing shit and not scoring goals

[PeterWithesShin]

I [referred it when we were making positive records under Unai, not Lambert style crap ones.

[john e]

One positive is I thought they all worked very hard.

Breaking records baby

[Ian.]

So last season we couldn’t stop the goals going in for months on end, this season we’ve fixed that but can’t score!

[Chip Butty 111]

9 of the starting 11 today were here before Emery.

Probably as worrying as the last 4 performances tbh.
