Match Thread Aston Villa vs Everton. Saturday 14th August 12:30 KO

Iwobi and Patterson the only two doing anything of any quality that half. Alarming. I do think Onana and Gueye will solve most of our troubles though, i.e actually able to retain a football. But this one looks a write off

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Only a matter of time now before the usual crowd of bellends turn on the manager and want him out. Some people never learn. The club is rotton to the core and is mismanaged to an embarrassing level. There's absolutely no point moaning about who the manager is anymore with the morons at the top running us into the ground. Its like being run by Mr Bean with a big chequebook at our club!

 

[MACCA75]

McNeil was an odd signing like. Has never played in a front 3 and just isn’t a front 3 player. Replacing Richi for him is crazy.

 

[hktoffee]

Front 3 really poor. Don't think Mykolenko is a wingback.

#29 is more of a wingback.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Replace doucoure, Gordon, gray and mcneil in this starting 11 and we might be ok

 

[Matthew mcdonnell]

baffling how we didnt sign a striker when its obvious we can't play the false 9 system, there had to be someone in place for dcl backup, board once again

 

[jerseytoffee]

Gray, Gordon and McNeil all really poor, none of them can keep possession and build up some play between them.

Desperately need a striker for a focal point

 

[Bob Latchford]

Yet they look all at sea at corners

Def our best chance to get a goal back.

 

[chicoazul]

If we attack each other for this 15 minute interval it will provide a better forum experience for readers and distract from our football team who are not very good.

 

[jamieni]

Not great. Don’t know what we can do in the second half with the few options we have. Villa don’t look good defensively if we could put a few attacks together.

 

[II McColl II]

Hopefully for the select few fans who still seem to think Gray and Gordon are good players for this season are getting a reality check right about now.

Rather have Michael Keane up top, even he'd have hit that first time.

 

[LocalNative]

Did we keep the receipt for him? Looks every bit the Championship player so far in two games. And that's being generous.

It was a strange signing on the face of things, a attacking player with 1 goal and 0 assists last season.

He’s so one footed too.

 

[Furey1878]

Honestly don't think we've been bad, Ings did well for their goal.

We just need literally any focal point or we're hoping for 36 0-0's this season.

 

[blulouie]

Get Onana on in the middle , put Iwobi in Gray's position.

And boy do we need that striker Pronto.

 

[Saint Domingo]

That’s DCL Godfrey Mina Doucoure all now injured after 1.5 games.
