Aston Villa vs Everton match thread

[NorthYvillan]

You can bet your arse I'm bumping the Watkins thread after this horrorshow.

He's had f*** all to play with

[Beard82]

going on about how good garner has been (and to be fair he has) - but he should have been sent of when it was 0-0.  Ref bottled it

He hardly bottled it he didn’t even give a free kick!

well yeah - but it was a clear foul and would have been a yellow

[Tuscans]

Crap performance, crap atmosphere.

[N'ZMAV]

Watkins has been a passenger.

[fredm]

If we had shown this effort from the first minute this would probably never had happened. Time to get rid of this walking football.

[Astnor]

It is a bit strange that we plötslich look that without belief and clue at home. Experienced players missing probably explain some of it.

[Woody17]

Guessand just stands still

Normally you want to give a player time but I can't see anything good about him overall

Nope. He doesn’t have a single attribute. Terrible signing.

AIUI VAR have no jurisdiction about free kicks, only penalties. Perhaps they should be allowed to adjudge on possible fouls outside the box in clear goal-scoring opportunities

Meanwhile, Garner is Chris Sutton's POTM

Yeah, down with the style of play which has us languishing in *checks table* third.

[Halfway to Moseley]

Looks like the Malen gamble hasn’t paid off.  Oh well onwards and upwards

It’s a gamble if you let an effective player leave and immediately replace him with a new player.

Not replacing him is an act of self-harm.

[PeterWithesShin]

First poor league result for 4 months, it happens.

[manic-road]

Woeful all over the pitch today.

[stevo_st]

Ref gives them a free kick for a dubious push

[Smirker]

He's had f*** all to play with

But he also contributes in other ways doesn't he? Has he done that today?
