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

[mceverton]

I know we’re missing key players but these aren’t that good, terrible this

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

I'm just wondering if this is the most defensive/midfielder team ever fielded by Everton by a managers sub decisions. Rafael just needs to take gray off now.

 

[Marius57]

With key players missing ? You're completely transparent you melt.

Again, aneclotti has 11 players or something missing in January yet is demonised on here for struggling

 

[Blunatic]

cash makes foul number 7. no booking.

 

[MrGrumpy]

If they put in traore on Everton win, that’s 5 subs

 

[hallamblue]

That as maybe but look at the set up that RB had put out - 3 at the back?????

It was 4 at the back, Digne, Keane, Mina, Godfrey.

 

[PhilM]

What about average ones missing key players?

Good teams don't capitulate regularly/often would be a fairer comment. Every team will capitulate at some point.

 

[Sennott Street]

Why do we get 4 subs?

 

[MKEvertonian]

A quick flurry of goals where one player's dreadful performances - Digne - has undone us. It's not what any of us want, but we haven't played badly.

We started with Salmon 'Tugboat' Rondon up front, who isn't fit, and have very little other attacking options.

Yeah but what annoys me is also the recruitment, no RB, no good striker backup, it just feels like a grind supporting this club

 

[blue to the bone]

He’s got an injury? Haha serves him right, I switched it off at 3-0

It's 3.3 now switch it on fast

 

[T LEAFE]

50p head Keaneo

 

[longers]

Good sides dont capitulate

Liverpool did it here not long ago and we aren't a top side or even close to one

 

[Marius57]

Remind me, whatever happened with Ancelotti?

He went to one of the best teams on the planet. What's going to happen to benitez?

 

[andy4efc]

Yet there are numerous posters saying its not on benitez at all and using injuries as an excuse. Yet we didn't even name a full bench.

He takes responsiblity for his ego regarding james yes. It's not like that extra bench player makes any difference whent he players, who had been well in the game and on the front foot, concede 3 in 9 minutes.

12 points from 18.

Perspective is everything.

….just nonsense.

I know but they cant help themselves, its been a great start to the season, days like today happen, onwards now to QPR.
Lots to be positive about, weve got the right manager, players in general have improved from last season and the aditions look great, it's a good time to be an Evertonian
