Aston Villa vs Everton match thread

Rockford Files booked.

It’s very unlucky to have 4 centre mids out - but the lack of any attacking options is on us.

Yeah, I agree with this.

[JUAN PABLO]

what  a shite free kick

[alanclare]

They’re not the same team with McGinn off.

[PeterWithesShin]

COYM!!

[Tuscans]

Ollie is so predictable...and Buendia still thinks he has Bolts pace.

[SamTheMouse]

Feels very much like roughly the same time last year when we kept getting a defender injured every week and our form collapsed, albeit with midfielders rather than defenders this time.

Luckily we started in a much better position pre-injury crisis so still have a decent chance of top five, but I think title is going to be a stretch with no midfield.

This is the thing that's going to fuck us. If it was a defender here and a midfielder there getting injured, we could cope. But four injuries in one bloody position... Our luck is shit.

We need to somehow grind out a win here and hope some reinforcements arrive soon.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Really though Watkins would have a stormer now that Malen isn't bothering him

[PaulWinch again]

You can tell Everton fancy this

[TopDeck113]

We somehow need to grind out a win. Would-be champions find a way.

[Tuscans]

We're playing like slugs, slugs with no personality.

[jwarry]

Maatsen that was shit but please don’t lose your confidence

[fredm]

They fancy it more than Villa do!

[Skerra]

Watkins having a nightmare today. Malen anyone?
