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

[billyblue80]

Classic finale to half this season that. Lots of effort but little quality on the ball. Gomes in particular has been atrocious on the ball. We are still desperate for three in midfield

Tell you what, Jenas was very level headed there saying it isn’t just Everton it needs to be stopped in the league all over

Noticed that, fair play on that to him.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Can't bear slippy the horrible human cesspit

 

[Encoder]

Can't someone bottle Gerrard instead?

 

[andy4efc]

Final ball and passing by both sides has been awful. We win the ball back and then lose it again.

Need that extra body in midfield, bring Gray and Richy more into the game.

Very little between the two sides IMO. They just have more pocket players.

They're just a better team simple as. stats dont lie, we havent had a shot, they've had 8 or 9. As scrappy as its been, they've been on top.

That bottle went nowhere near his head ?

Yeah I thought that, saw it smack Cash but don’t know why Digne went down?

 

[Kev The Rat]

Some posters here fuming about Digne and blaming him for what has happened is absurd. It is disgusting any justification of violence against any player regardless of their celebration.

Did the bottle even touch him ??

Simulation imo

Gerrard biggest egomaniac in world football, be interesting to see where he is in 18 months it will either be Liverpool job or left Villa in complete ruins

 

[BigBlueConk]

I only just made kick off today, what happened to our new full backs?
Injured?!

 

[WA Toffee]

Er... The bottle never even hit Digne..??

Looked like there were coins thrown too

 

[BlueToff]

Where is the next win going to come from. It’s frightening. It’s looking likely that we will go down. Players do not have the ability to defend or the composure to score goals.

Benitez has done this team dirty. I said this earlier in the season, you can't just go weeks without having any of the ball and then suddenly know what you're going to do when you have it.

Need a totally fresh approach with fresh ideas and a manager who wants to play football.

Dunc will instil the effort and that has been there but there's nothing like quality

 

[TheBigIguana]

Eh? He's moving while the cross comes in?

I mean he's camped right under where the ball is going until Pickford hits it. I don't know how you can say he should be standing somewhere else at that moment.

 

[heatmeiser]

Whoever is throwing stuff should be banned, simple as. Disgraceful

Of course. But as always the PL will suddenly see fit to punish the club to make an example

 

[johnjoeefc]

Everton are going down because everything about the club has become a shambles. The whole running of the club is second rate. Villa have a professional set piece coach. Everton have a hard man running the club who used to get sent off every other game.

 

[BlueToff]

I only just made kick off today, what happened to our new full backs?
Injured?!

Mykolenko is at the ground so not COVID. Don't know about Patterson.

I just don't think either of them are anywhere near ready tbh
