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

[NewRadical]

Villa won't get an easier 3 points this season. There is no intent to our attacking, predictable and responsibility-free.

It doesn't seem to matter who the owner, DoF, manager or players are we don't start the season looking ready.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I really hope Marco has some sort of plan beyond the current one which appears to be set up as many crosses as possible. At some point we need to look into a system that works the ball into the box, plays through balls or just does something other than pass wide and whip it in.

 

[Khalekan]

Iwobi for me.

The only bright spot in an absolutely dire even8ng.

Yerry Mina also played well

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Agree. We'll get better. Kean, Iwobi and Delph are nailed on to make a massive difference to us. Sidibe and Gblammo it's harder to tell.

I think you're going to be let down...

The only good news is my acca coupon is still ON for tomorrows games

Cracked me up reading fans of other clubs slating is for killing their accas early, more fool them for doing cross weekend ones rather than dailies

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Am sorry but we were shocking all over the pitch....we should have created 3 x more chances and we would have scored....the whole team takes responsibility for this including the manager

We had gilt edged chances to win that game, whatever you think about the way we played.

 

[Fansince1988]

No he wouldn't. That's why he is where he is.

Actually we will never know because he wasn’t playing, one thing for sure though he can slot home a ball a 100% better than DCL can, but tbh the Strac could also.

 

[TheBigIguana]

How in God's name has Gomes gotten MOTM votes?

 

[Bob Latchford]

One of the most frustrating things was the midfield interchange when we were trying to break them down. Transferring the ball side to side. We’ve become so limp in attack. Hopefully just a slow start but I think Richy needs to be benched along with DCL and Iwobi and Kean need to start. Centre mid is a problem but until Delp and JP come back our options are limited.

 

[riddick]

I want to try to like the guy but he makes it just so hard on himself. Everyone saw the impact Kean had in the Watford match yet he decides to persist with a 1 in almost NINE striker.

And, I can't stress this enough, we are STILL playing 4-2-3-1 almost literally 15 years later.

 

[ToffeeLee1878]

To add, I'm on my holidays in Menorca and I thought , this is going to be ace, sun sand win, what a load of rubbish tonight, just rubbish!

Everton managed to lose to Southampton in the league cup last season while I was on holiday they know how to ruin everything

 

[Fansince1988]

That it I’m off, that’s the first of many depressing nights this season being an Everton supporter.

Lad as I said before the match we were never gona win this away game, it was one of my easier choices on my acca. If we won like id have been sound with it obviously but was fairly sure.

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

We had gilt edged chances to win that game, whatever you think about the way we played.

gilt edged is open goal or at best one on one.....take your point tho....they had 2 good chances and scored both

If Calvert Lewin and Walcott score sensationally easy chances we win the game as I don’t think the they score the second if we are winning
