Match Thread Everton V Aston Villa. Sat Sep 13th. 3pm

[dublinbluenose]

Hooper looks absolutely wrecked, he's 25 yards off the pace of play. Are refs not supposed to have a certain level of fitness at this level?

 

[BigBeto1]

We really need to be doing better on corners by the way. We’ve dropped the ball in great positions but never seem to get close to scoring from them

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Beat Villa, we go (joint) top

 

[Mr PEN86]

Dominant but need to take these chances. Beto's had a few. Probably the best chance we've got to beat this lot. They can't be any worse in the second.

I'm not one for constantly criticising refs, but I've never liked this Hooper fella.

To his credit he's been consistent calling fouls for both sides, most of them are just too soft.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I thought Keane has gotten himself into great positions today off corners. He’s actually a decent threat to head one in off corners.

 

[Tommy Chong]

I think one goal should settle this game.

alcaraz can’t play upfront mate

He did in Southampton, and can't be worse than Beto s knotted legs

 

[Only-Blue-toffees]

You'd think one of his coaches would've worked on it by now, especially since he seems to get in those positions a lot.

Exactly you would think that. He need to get his head down lean more forward when having a crack. The amount of times he gets into a great position but skies it

we need to score first then make villa have to chase

 

[johnjoeefc]

The refs been fine. We need to be better the games there for the taking if we want it. Just got to stay solid at the back too with nothing stupid.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Some good moments, look solid at the back, just lacked that killer moment so far

They came back into it a bit late in the half but we’ve been on top overall

What a player N’Diaye is

 

[matty1878]

I think one goal will settle this game.

i’d rather we had two mate

 

[Hellerad]

Given how shaky they are on the counter when facing their own goal, Alcaraz behind Beto (or better Barry) would be useful.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Need more from Beto eh. Jeez.
