Match Thread Aston Villa 0-1 Everton. Sunday 18th January 2026 @ 16:30

I think today is another game that Moyes has written off, due to injuries and Afcon, also its not in his DNA to get a result today whether we like it or not, McNeil will play even though he has done naff all in his time this season but this will not deter Moyes in picking him as with Barry.

When villa played at Hill Dickinson early in the season they were 2nd to bottom and winless, today they have the chance to go 2nd.
The difference in squad, Mangement and mentality and most of all ambition

Read that back mate...
You are another one who must be the life and soul of any party you gatecrash

And that failure to put away a Villa side on its knees means no excuses today when we are on ours. Had we beaten them when we should, we could have afforded a certain amount of understanding today. It's a mirror image of the FA Cup defeat. Had we played our full side against Wolves in the League Cup and maximised our chances in that competition, we could have been more forgiving of last week's disaster. Moyes fans want it both ways: excuse failure to beat the top sides, but want a pass when we can't beat the poorer ones. Want all the credit when we sign a successful player, but it's Kinnear and Co's fault when they fail.

We need a point today to stop the rot. The manager needs to find solutions. If he's going to wave the white flag when things get tough, we might as well not have a manager.

He "stopped the rot" with a win, 3 points...
Onwards

lol at McNeil. Do one Moyes.

Ha ha! He did... actually, he didn't do one... he did 3!

 

[Ged G]

McNeill plus Patterson on the right flank.

game plan today soak up Villa pressure and hit them on the break with pace Grealish and McNeil to supply the clown up front

game plan worked... wonderfully well

 

[PhilEFC]

A great performance and great result.

Everyone played well, and the manager got it spot on.

 

[Pabbers]

Got one of those up next against Leeds. Should be dealing with them but we’ll mess it up.

Yep…..can see it now….we give the horrible goals…..boos all round and Leeds fans make it a home game.

Did not happen... as you now know. Next time, try to be a tiny bit positive

Everyone is entitled to their pre match predictions etc. No real need to call people out on what they say before a game mate.

He should buy us all a drink to drown our "sorrows" seeing as he must have made a fortune at the bookies he was so confident...

This down to moyes great planning well executed

Unacceptable performance today. Garner dribbling that ball like he's prime Cristiano Ronaldo, major attitude problem. Thierno Barry, more like Barry Chuckle, scoring goals for fun is a bad sign. Moyes talking up our squad after the game like they're One Direction, needs to be sacked tonight for this positivity.

Up the Toffees

O'Brien must be getting fed up with his goals getting disallowed. Nice reaction by him at full-time coming through the tunnel.
