Match Thread Everton 0-1 Aston Villa - Wednesday 15th January 19:30

[DualityNSNO]

Doucoure is important. He presses and covers ground. Nobody in the team can do that.

Harrison's ONLY good quality is he runs and covers ground, as is Doucoure's really.

They are both not footballers that should be starting or being in important positions. Any player with technique (or a left foot I guess) buries that Doucoure chance, for which he was wide open.

 

[roy vernon]

nope to risky Slapersson cantt defend and Lindstrom is … nothing.

Set piece delivery has been terrible, Lindstrom has good delivery and Youngs defending has been absolute mince tonight.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

interesting. only booking Onana on 9 minutes. I'd have Ndiaye on him constantly from here.

This is the sort of witchcraft that proper teams do. Great shout that.

The other benefit is that he will NEVER follow Ndiaye into the box if he runs behind him. The lad can only look straight ahead.

 

[Runub]

You don’t watch Harrison play….you endure

 

[Walken]

Pressing from the front more which Dyche seem to binned off after the capitulations against Bournemouth and Villa earlier in the season.

Still nothing radical. Limited to the players we have.

Annoying thing is, the 5 mins at the end aside, Bournemouth at home was the best we played

 

[DanEFC92]

Been OK. Set piece delivery awful.

Why slapersson?

 

[Kurt.]

The fans are not though, Goodison is quiet ffs!!!!!!!1

@chicoazul was right all along

Once @chicoazul has touched you


1 chico is worth 25 years inside

Who'd of thunk it after that tamworth masterclass

Spurs had a million on 0-0 FT at 2500-1 richest team in the world now

 

[banno]

Think Tarks was our best player that half. Just him getting in the right spots and making a couple of blocks has kept us in it.

Yes he has bailed us out with his blocks and playing well

 

[Davideeyore]

I really think that first half will have been a big eye opener for Moyes.

Absolutely. I hope the time he gives the existing starting 11 is just barely 45 minutes nevermind weeks.

 

[allen]

HT 0-0

sounds on comms (5live nationwide) that villa will feel let down by themselves.

interesting. only booking Onana on 9 minutes. I'd have Ndiaye on him constantly from here.

Had that exact thought myself. Just keep wriggling round him.

 

[Street end man]

Why slapersson?

Because Dyche slapped him on his head

 

[lungo]

Ndiaye done absolutely nothing for a few weeks now. For me, the floating around on the left bit has run its course. Wasting our only bit of danger.

It will clearly take a lot of time for this team to be reminded how to move around and find space in the opponents half, rather than the sole tactic being to pick up second balls and win throw ins.

he should play it faster instead of running with the ball every time

 

[Trout Masked Replica]

Thought that was awful all round. Dom just doesn't have that edge to take half chances
