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

[Theoneandonly]

Against Norwich. When we were getting beat 2 nil early onyou mean? Turn it in.

Norwich won again yesterday.

 

[Davideeyore]

This is a really bad time to be protesting

Oh right. Maybe they should protest in the summer? Or maybe they should protest after we've won 5 or 6 matches?

 

[Frenk]

How's the sit in going? Is there many people? Did Blue Bill take notice or did he scurry off to the shadows?

He gave them all a Goodson goodie bag and they left quite happy.

 

[big nev lookalike]

Awful first half,better second half but still not good enough.No change from the previous couple of months really.Very disappointin.

 

[TGW89]

Lose to Newcastle and we're down. It's that simple now.

 

[Mr PEN86]

This season has "David Unsworth Penalty on the last day to stay up" kinda vibes. Be under no illusions, we are in a relegation dog fight Oh and Gordon has to start every game. Only quality shown today was from that boy.

Gareth Farelly even :]

[Poor language removed] to lose but there was still a lot of improvements

 

[DanEFC92]

The only improvement today is from the fans in the stands, the players have been pathetic.

At least they showed some bottle. Lel.

 

[PhilEFC]

Norwich won again yesterday.

And? Did Watford have 60% possession?

Norwich won again yesterday.

Genuinely mate. Do you support Everton? It just seems that you are a Rafael Benitez fan ?

If you don’t support Everton then why are you spending your life on an Everton forum? Go learn a skill, do some volunteering, go for a pint…much nicer for you ?

 

[Fansince1988]

That performance leads me to believe he hasn't learned anything over the past few years...
He hasn't learned that Holgate is gash.
He hasn't learned that Kenny is gash.
He hasn't learned that 2 in midfield is stupid.
What makes you think he's going to start learning now?

I actually thought Kenny and Holgate were ok they didn’t do to much wrong. Allan would have started but I think fitness was an issue. I can see why he went for experience but not starting Gordon was probably a mistake. He will know hat was wrong today and will try and change it, we’ve had many managers that have been so stubborn and bnever change things.

Ferguson post game comments: “It was a tough fought game and credit to Stevie and his team they went toe to toe with us. I think we deserved at least a point which would have made up happy but instead we got to pick ourselves up and go again. The fans were good but I know they and we as a team can do better.”

 

[Jacob]

There's just no movement compared to other sides... players frequently just watching play around them without anticipating putting a proper challenge in. 3/4 players round an opponent yet no tackle or legitimate effort as though they just try and suffocate the player off the ball. No speed of thought... we must have some of the most naive easily conned players around. Allan and Gordon must start from the off.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I'm pretty sure I didn't actually.

*cough

Carlo ancelotti is the biggest problem for me. Seems clueless.

Ancelotti doesn't have the tools at Everton, the only way he will succeed I'd think is if we were to sign Ronaldo and messi

Are you a fan of ancelotti Dave ? I think hes not up to it personally

David moyes simply is a better manager than carlo ancelotti in my opinion.

I will stick by Carlo for the mere fact that we have no other option at this time and it would cost too much to replace him.

It again all comes down to hunger from the management team and you have to ask is a manager like Ancelotti really going to be up to the task of getting every last drop out of these players. I would suggest probably not.

Oh wow.
