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

[Cels]

Never a yellow for Dominic Calvert-Lewin that.

 

[Izzy1878]

Allan for Gomes good move

Hopefully Allan takes the concrete out of his boots.

 

[andy4efc]

Allan for Gomes good move

Still leaves us short in the middle of the pitch with no mobility.

 

[kleew]

Allan on, hopefully we have more control in the mid

 

[Azza]

I can't say anything about that pass.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Glad to see the back of Gomes.

No mate, I've just replied to you with a tag.

Benitez has done this team and club dirty. We've been left with no structure or any ideas in place.

But obviously he can't be blamed for us not having a shot so far today

Im not defending Benitez he deserved to go ultimately however the likes of myself have taken dogs abuse for months for simply pointing out that it doesn't matter who the manager is this squad has got fundamental problems in it which most managers of the level we can currently attract will struggle to deal with.

Todays vindication for me even if we come back to win 2-1 as we have little quality, a fragile defence and ultimately rely on moments of individual quality from the likes of Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin & Gray.

Recruitment since the days of Walsh has killed us, not Benitez.

 

[blue to the bone]

The guy who threw the bottle would be better then Kenny.

 

[cronullasharks]

Thank God Gomes is off. Atrocious player

 

[TheBigIguana]

Please get Gordon on

 

[MockBu4]

wise to change Gomez, he has already got one yellow

 

[Ducans elbow]

Can’t even pass it 2 yds

 

[Fansince1988]

That is very true but ... Surely he'd have seen one of our biggest issues this season has been our midfield.

Yes be he only has the players at his disposal so his hand are tied to a degree

 

[Rook]

FFS EVERTON! how the hell did Buendia score? He’s 5ft 3 ffs, I saw that coming though. And a Digne assist, crap.

it was less of an assist and more like leaving someone completely unmarked

The prem is a game of Chess and Dunc is playing drafts here
