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

[Mashtray]

We battered Villa. They were terrible - constant fouls and time wasting. In the end, a world class keeper stopped us getting the three points. I thought we were a bit slow and predictable in attack and could have been a bit more direct. But it’s difficult when the other team sit back and there’s no scope for counter attacks.

Nail on the head. It's tougher when we have to beat a low block

Thought Keane played well today both defensively and on corners. Unlucky not to have scored today. Tarkowski and Grealish also immense again today.

So two saves then

5 excellent chances.

He was awful the ref the amount of times today villa timewasted, then the amount of times was pulling players shirts back and he gave nothing. Terrible ref

I felt like Villa players held and pushed our players at every opportunity but the ref gave us nothing. And he gave them lots of soft fouls when we pressured them and turned over the ball. The perfect tackle by JT was a great example.

If only McNeil could donate his left peg to Grealish

The rohl one for me with gana have no idea what it was for. The jt tackle i had great view didnt even give the foul played on the decided it was a foul when the lad rolled ok the floor, acting like was hurt. Then think was a tackle from behind on grealish and he didnt give it was such a poor ref display

Still fuming at the ref performance. They just get worse by the year these frauds...

If Simon Hooper isnt the Villa MOM Ill be shocked.

Player into slowing tactics all game.

I hope all the Keane haters on this forum will stop getting on his back, he deserves better, he has been our best defender this season and yes he has made a few mistakes over the years but show me a player who does not make mistakes.
Take no notice Michael and just keep doing what you are doing at the moment.

We should give it a go, we managed to have Tarks and Keane swap brains.

 

[TheDude19]

Thought he could have used Alcaraz today.

Wearing you name sakes number too

Moyes bottled this one. Tactics akin to the Leeds game. Beto needs to get focused.
