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

[Davidoff]

We are going down.

It's about time really

 

[Eggs]

….impotent in the top third and that’s not solely because we don’t have a recognised striker. Players either lacking ability to go past the opposition or not wanting to take risk.

Defensively sound but unless you offer some threat going the other way it’s inevitable the opposition will create opportunities.

 

[Nyhus]

Didnt realize McNeil just ran into a Villa player before their goal. How did he not see what would happen there.

 

[Mark barnett]

Slow
No focal point
Giving the ball away cheaply
Players running into each other....

I hope now Frank has realised Gordon can't play upfront. FFS.

Looking at the bench, I can't see us coming back from this. Unless Onana is a Ballon D'Or winner in disguise

 

[jonnyg]

Gordon gets the ball on the right wing and Gray immediately goes for an overlap run past him....leaving no one in the middle. Useless runs and sloppy passes all around

 

[Mosh Pit]

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.

Shut up you tit 😁

 

[bluelife]

Lampard is failing us.

Correct. Need Lanarks in ASAP

 

[Oasis1878]

We need a focal point. We need to capitalise on set pieces.

Get Mick Keane on up top NOW.

 

[Inchy226]

We don't need one forward, we need three.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Not Dominic Calvert-Lewin but I get your point. Folding like a pack of cards. Ffs

If it carries on, we’ll be in a relegation battle again this season. Holgate and Davies have already found their way back onto the pitch. We’re one injury from Keane getting back on. Oh and you can add Allan to the injured list.

 

[GoldenToffee]

It was just awfully nice of the club to forfeit all points for the first 5-6 games of the season. I think it's probably unprecedented. Three Championship standard wingers playing as an attacking unit... wow.

 

[lungo]

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.

He had only the left corner open and the idiot in goal was unable to cover the only open space.

 

[longers]

The entire front three need yeeting into the sea

 

[Mercedes]

Thomas davos gonna see red, you heard it here first
