See what you are saying mate, I do. Im in my 40's, so seen plenty of teams, and watch lots of Euro fooball over the decades.
Plenty of great teams have destroyed teams over the years, but none have had full backs in the middle, or had a centre back playing as a centre mid/deep lying play-maker...
Of course you were the better team you have spent 100s of millions on attacking and midfield areas compared to us and you have a top class coach and are a very good team and yes you were playing in second gear. Don't disagree you could have had a few first half. However while we weren't great, I...
Totally disagree with your view on the penalty decision. It was as clear cut a penalty as it gets. Villa got very fortunate with that and the Onana decision.
As for going down too easy, again I would totally disagree. It was a blatant 2 handed push while in the air. That sends you off balance...
I want a fb just cant see it happening, think if three be cb cm winger. Whatever happens this season the club must start looking for a starting lb, patterson has this season aswell to show if he is good enough to take the starting rb spot if not another must come in.
Happy to acknowledge his innovations and tactical nous, but using versatile players in different roles is nothing new.
The issue for me is whether it is the best football we have ever seen, and as you say that is very subjective. I simply don't think this is the best football I have ever seen...
Agree with all that mate. ;)
On Thelwell, i think hes the perfect example of looking at the club through a different and new standardised lens. Its not binary, some stuff hes done well on - outgoing in particular at a difficult time and maintaining in limits, but he's also invested a bit in a...
Iwobi is not a quick decision maker, he is not a goalscorer and he isn’t pacy enough to play on the wing. He is quite frankly the type of player we should move on from. I think he would do well in another league but his weaknesses were apparent dating back to his Arsenal days. He is a ball...
If we brought him in then looking at contracts expiring, we'd only need 1CB and 1CM to replace Holgate, Keane, Doucoure and Gana.

A very young and tall spine. If we signed...
Well who is doing the negotiating and signing off of these deals, Moshiri is not here, the chairman has been seriously I’ll and is still confined to bed, who is responsible, got to be someone to hold their hand up and tell us what is going on!
My thoughts are, there is a player in Dele, flashes were shown while playing for us. He genuinely changed the game when he came on against Palace. Give him time to get his feet back under himself and see what happens. We cant let a potential fee reduce his opportunities to show his worth. If...
Streaky and helped massively by the officials and VAR.
re onana, should have been sent off, and as for our players chasing the ref, your taking the piss.
You only had one booking all game, ludicrous for the number of fouls committed and that they got away with. Who was the home side again...
Always love a patronising head pat from other teams fans, love it.
BTW - Your keeper is ALWAYS rushing out....and pretty much won the world cup for his country doing it...its what the top keepers do, take chances and close the angles to force the striker into a decisions.... What Pickford did...
So in summary you thought we shouldn’t have had a penalty, Onana no second yellow card was the right decision and that even if we had scored Villa would have upped a gear and still beaten us.
Honourable mention that the Everton players are a disgrace, Pickfords fault for the goal and we are...
Yes you definitely saw it a lot different from me, you saw it as a biased Villa supporter would see. Yes you deserved the win but the methods applied give you little credit on the footballing side, with the falling over and staying down after nearly every Everton tackle and the referee falling...
