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

[Gilbert..]

No complaints. Better side won.
Not that bothered either anymore as i know we wont do much until we ship so many of them out.

 

[BlueStevie35]

any chance we'll see any of the U23 team play in the last few games?

Why? Season isn’t over

 

[arch stanton]

we have a big gulf between the first choice side and the next up. I give you James Rodrigues > Alex Iwobi. Sigh.

 

[Duncansback]

Yet again a pile of rubbish from Everton. As for carlo if big sam roberto or koeman lost as many home games we be looking for him to go.as he keeps picking iwobi and delph I don't think we are any better than the last few seasons.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Is that the only measure by which he can be assessed?

No, but it’s one of them.

This must be one of the worst ever at Goodison

 

[BPuida]

Who is Coleman pointing at when trying to stop that shot?

Barkley making a run.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Kean or Gordon.......oh hang on......

Gordon can’t even get starts for Preston

That defeatist attitude is pathetic. Ancelotti is clearlly not the answer.

Spurs just sacked Mourinho and they're looking at Scott Parker and Graham Potter. Would you rather have one of them than Ancelotti? We have been a midtable team for a few years and it's going to take a few years to sort. We look like finishing top half this year. If we can get top of the "best of the rest" next season and get Europe whilst bringing in 3 more players that will be more progress. Then the year after that hopefully we can try and compete for the Champions League places. But we are world's away from that at the moment, and a few decent away results don't change that fact.

 

[Phil Rodgers]

There are no words to describe how much I hate this club (on the pitch) at the moment. They just suck the life out of me. Inexcusable performance after inexcusable performance. Pathetic, limp, scandalous are the words that come to mind. If we were a dog, we'd be put down. I really, really wish we were a dog.

 

[deipnosophist]

I am not a big fan of Barney but calls to give BFS another go are, in my opinion, a little desperate. They are just too similar in terms of tactics and motivational abilities. Basically, the two are distinctions without a difference. So whilst I don’t rate Barney, I am against simply doing a like for like managerial change. Of course if BFS did not demand the high wages of Barney, then I would change my mind immediately..but I cannot see BFS wanting less than Barney.

 

[Jebus_lives]

No, but it’s one of them.

This must be one of the worst ever at Goodison

Yep. Probably.

 

[jamieni]

Yep but why is the team clueless. Something to do with Carlo and Brands?

It was clueless under Silva too.

 

[Pejic300]

ALL THE SWEARS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Yep. Probably.

But Carlo is excellent

 

[mrb85]

He's playing a team that's finished bottom half for years

Err, don't think so. Even Allardyce got them top half. And he's spent millions 'improving it'.
