Match Thread Everton v Aston Villa - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[knowing your history]

Can't complain too much at that. Defensively solid and given them very little. DCL finishing as he should've and would've been perfect 45 minutes.

I do remember the game was similar last season and then they stepped it up from the hour mark. Tielemans coming on will be an issue I think.

Think I'm right in saying only two prem teams this season have scored infront of the Gwladys? (and one of those was goal of the season). I never really think away teams are going to get in and score a "normal" goal that end, seems most are just happy to wait until they attack near their own fans a bit more.

Massive chance for DCL, he’ll bag the next one. Keep the faith.

Everybody and his dog did know, seeing sprinting DCL alone to the Villa goal, that he wouldnt score!

 

[Ming the Merciful]

We need the first goal here otherwise its all over.

 

[Victus]

It frustrates me how chaotic we are when we get the ball, there's just no calmness in the pass or the play. We just try and force it through with no thought as if there's a second left in the half.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Even Redknapp agrees.

 

[bobbylatch]

2 good chances there to go 1-0 up. Really should be missing those

 

[Shibbywiggles]

When Jamie Redknapp is talking sense how in the F is VAR excusable?

 

[Naylor56]

I can’t remember when we scored from a free kick from outside the box…..no more digne and baines

 

[blueboy72]

Good through ball though

No he’d rather Harrison who runs around a lot but looses the ball consistently, get McNeil and get that 30% possession down to 25%. Dyche will be fuming we’ve had 30%

 

[Davideeyore]

That is typical of DCL of late.

All he needed to do is dummy the keep and slot it in from his left instead he decided to pass it to Martinez

 

[witchdoc187]

anyone got a stream that doesn't crap out every 5 seconds?

Might be worth purchasing dazn in Spain and using VPN. Only 12.99 month and shows every premier League match. If you don't mind Spanish commentary

 

[Melchizedek]

Feel for Dom to be fair. Checked his run brilliantly and they weren’t catching him.

Just needs a scruffy one from a corner or something.

People have been saying this. It's his literal job to get goals. The team are providing chances, not a ton, but still chances.
At some point management and the fanbase are going to have to realize that his purple patch under Carlo was an aberration. He is not and will never be that striker again. He will be lucky to ever break double digit goals in a season again.

 

[MACCA75]

Just showed the angle from behind, Dom struck it right down the middle. Dreadful.

 

[Bluebirdie]

Could go either way this. We're fully committed but lacking quality.

It's say we have the quality but composure has left the building.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

ok maybe I'm missing something - what chances did VIlla have? aside from a goal that was rightly chalked off...

Are you messing? Pickford has kept us in this..
