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

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

All the more reason for Allan to stay back.

I agree

The defensive mid needs to be the defensive mid

 

[maccavennie]

Has Ancelotti ever made a half time sub for Everton out of interest?

He's took Iwobi off a few times at ht

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Watkins is having an outstanding game

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

With Rodriguez missing, we have nobody other than Allan trying to create... and Allan pushing forward is leaving huge holes for Villa to exploit.

Sigurdsson though...

The difference here is pace. Simple as. When Villa get the ball, they charge, each and every player, they know they´ll outpace us. When we get the ball we try to hold "possession".

Tbf when that many of your team have been poor a half time hairdryer is probably worth a shot before you haul people off.

This a 442?

This a 442?

More of a 0-0-1

We seem to have a bit more energy this half if nothing else

 

[harris78]

When is Doucoure back, at least get some energy in the midfield FFS

 

[T LEAFE]

Can we hang on to a point?

 

[Dublin blue 75]

We need much much more from Richy. Token jogs to give the impression of closing down a player is not good enough

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

It’s amazing what a cattle prod at half time can achieve

 

[john jako]

When is Doucoure back, at least get some energy in the midfield FFS

We will rush him back and he will end up out for a further 6 months.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Play it quicker Gomes ffs!
