Match Thread Everton v Aston Villa - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Dublin blue 75]

Get king and Davies on Carlo

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Dont like this Holgate & Godfrey CB pair. Too wet behind the ears still.

 

[BigBlueConk]

If we had gone in 4-1 down there could not be many complaints on balance of play.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Unacceptable performance this Im
Tired of these performances

 

[Bristol Blue]

Walking through our midfield. Needs to be sorted!!

 

[Oasis1878]

Where’s Allan

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Despicable performance, this.

Should be 4 down.

Tactically we need to be a hell of a lot more pragmatic.

This lot aren't good enough for what Ancelotti is asking them to do.

Also very concerning how most games the tempo is so flat.

 

[rochdaleblue]

This is a shambles defensively

It’s like watching us under Martinez.

 

[Jacob]

Very static and dopey defence. Our first touch and reactions are very poor.

 

[Curtis]

Villa have been turd without the huffer yet we make them look dynamite

 

[Thomasc]

He will keep it the same in the second half until we go 1-2 down, nailed on

 

[TommyDavo]

Seeing why Godfrey has played at full back mainly

 

[Martin Alvito]

Ancellotti needs calling out here, Keane and Mina are by far the best pairing we have, maybe leave Godfrey with one of them for his pace, or play all 3 and have the full backs going forward.

Keane probably isn't fit to go 90 having just come back. I would imagine Carlo doesn't want to commit a sub to a CB by starting Keane.

Leaving Mina out is a more interesting choice. I am beginning to wonder if that is to protect him so that the option of selling remains credible come contract talks time.

I'm honestly sick of having to endure this week in week out.

We could at least try to look like a team. As in a cohesive unit, the lads playing for each other with commitment and basic levels of organisation and shape.

A living legend in the dug-out watching this week in week out.

Is it that he can't do anything or won't do anything about it?

If he doesn't make changes at halftime that he should have made already, we are sleepwalking again to another home defeat here.

Sorry, it's not good enough. We can expect a little more, just a little, than this.

 

[Pabbers]

Getting run ragged by Ross the boss, who is bot good enough for us....
