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

[JobForTheMoyes]

Plays well defensively but can’t finish his pudding.

Quite the reversal on previous seasons

Moyes: “Why have you been on a striker training regime for the past two seasons?”

Keane: “Mr Dyche said he wanted to rebuild me boss.”

We are a good watch.
Grealish too determined to score against his former employer .

 

[TheBigMan]

Good performance, poor finishing and good goalkeeping the reason we drew, they did nothing , don't recall Pickford making a save

 

[Bedfordblue]

That villa performance was awful today. That we could only managed to draw was pretty embarrassing, especially given the number of goal scoring opportunities.
Should have been a 3:0 drubbing.

 

[Robbo05]

Quite happy with that. Heading in the right direction.

 

[CielosGrises]

If you can't win, don't lose.

Given we are missing a couple of key players - and a few who are finding their feet - we are doing ok.

3 points would have been nice though.

It's hugely frustrating to play good stuff and dominate without winning. Bring back Dyche, I say. That way, we'll never dominate at all and so never feel this frustration. Them wuz the days........

 

[ToffeeTim]

Pretty frustrating not to score with all that play

Isn't it 12 months ago that Swashbuckling Sean saw his side take a 2-0 lead against Villa only to succumb, Ossie Ardiles style, 3-2 to evoke memories of kamikaze football's Roberto Martinez?

 

[NeilMorepies]

Where is the Blammo?

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

geez @Kevsleftpeg i would not be happy with some1 coming at me this hard buddy.

I make a point never to be upset by the words of virgins.

 

[LinekersLegs]

On the plus side we were very solid defensively this game, despite not having our best CB or either of our LBs on pitch.

 

[jaycee]

Thought it was a lot of huffing and puffing without really creating anything, an earlyish goal would have made Villa change their tactics/set up, for the 20 odd shots I can only recall the save from Keanes header

Well, I imagine that's the first and only buckle that he ever swashed.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Thought Tim played well especially first half

He didn’t do too much wrong but he looked much more hesitant in possession than he did against Brighton. He had opportunities to drive forward with the ball or play a more progressive pass and he played safe too much. Needs to stop getting himself booked too.
