I love Merlin even more now, so...

By sheer good luck, because the manager wanted him, apparently...

The Yak was as well - but he was out injured too much to really make his presence felt.

He's a new signing too, so no dithering from Emery.

@matty1878 @davek and @Rita_Poon looking mighty fine singing the Magician's praises there...

He should have started. Sorry, "Tim" is really not of the required standard.

Actually, it was the second. Just the week earlier he pulled off the same trick against Bournemouth. Memories of McGeady...

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?

"He shoots! He skies!"

It's why talk of 8/10 or better transfer windows was arrant, optimistic nonsense.

Should have been on after 60 at the latest. I'm not a fan of half-time subs for players missing chances - at least they are getting into the right areas - but after 15 of the second half nobody could feel aggrieved. Moyes gives the impression of not rating some of his new signings. Now, perhaps...

Der Zauberer.

The manager remains conservative. He took far too long - as usual - to make obvious enough substitutions. His faith in more tenured players at the club over the new joiners as shown in his starting selection wasn't vindicated. When that happens, you need to accept your loyalty was misplaced and...

Not the worst result in the world. However, we remain very conservative. At some point, to really progress, the handbrake is going to have to come off. For now, we should embrace the emerging reality that we will have no interest in the battle for survival this term - for the first time in...

You can nearly sense the incoming sucker punch...

Is Moyes really going to persist with this nonsense? Get him off!

A telling game for him today.

Villa are one of those teams we could score a "winner" against in the last minute and still find ourselves conceding two in time added on. This game smells of that today, and we only have ourselves to blame. The manager needs to make the changes now.

Time for changes, please. No dithering.

And very good at that. But Evertonians like to have us all believe that we're great admirers of the technical type, School of Science players. This fella wouldn't get into the remedial class at that establishment.
