Match Thread Aston Villa v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

I was hoping Gomes’s hair was like Samson’s. Enough said.

 

[girders]

Would love to know what they do in training ...so poor all over the pitch

 

[BlueTX]

So disappointing. Please address the hideously ineffective right side and find a midfielder with grit and pace to go forward.

For me, Godfrey and Digne the only men to play well the whole match.

 

[Parker]

Looking forward to the rule change to allow knee high tackles now.

Isn't that what they do to cover for their referees appalling decisions?

Little bit of pressure but it wasn't enough. We deserved to draw.

I'm disappointed at the lack of urgency. Good teams are visibly at full throttle when they need to win a game late but we looked happy enough to draw.

Don't think Richarlison an DCL make a good partnership , good players but don't link up well enough, they definitely need Rodriquez with them, because we don't create enough. Right winger and right fullback priorities for us next season.

The squad is crap. I’m not sure why you hate the one bloke who might be able to do something about it.

Yes, no manager on Earth could finish 8th with a poor Everton team. I can't think of anyone named Samuel Allardyce who has ever done it.

I should have turned it off when Coleman ran towards his own goal in the first minute and gave a corner away

 

[UltraVires]

Poor game with very little quality from two teams that have benefited from a crazy season where being organised and not much more counts for so much.

I am expecting another long slog at the weekend unfortunately. Even if we get Europe I don’t think I’ve massively enjoyed watching us play since the first few weeks of the year

 

[Lee Smith]

On a more positive note, the good news is, I had Martinez in my Fantasy Team, so.... every cloud....


You’re still thinking about the dropped points aren’t ya....

 

[Davideeyore]

I think we're done now. If we qualify for Europe it's a bonus. This game shows how really poor we are.

 

[Noble Savage]

How Martin Atkinson is still a premier league referee is an utter piss take. He made up his own rules twice in that game, once when he decided to halt play for a free kick to us when we were attacking on the half way line just so Villa could bring Grealish on and then at the end when he bizarrely let Tyrone Mings stay on the pitch after he needed treatment.

Amongst the different viewpoints on the result tonight , I think that's something we can all agree on .
I don't know what's more disgraceful , that cynical challenge or the fact that that useless prat in black will be a Goodison again one day.

That was the undoubted highlight of our performance.

Give it time. Chopping and changing managers simply hasn’t worked, we need to give him a chance to build his own team.

 

[Runub]

i could go to Crosby beach and see more movement than that midfield

Can you clarify something please? What exactly moves on Crosby beach or is that the point you are making?

Ha ha you actually want him back?
