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

[ToffeeTim]

If people were happy with that standard of football then we need to change the badge and stick whatever is Latin for happy to exist on it instead

We could have played till midnight tomorrow and not scored. We cant pass the ball incisive. We look lethargic even with a manager bounce. We can't defend set plays. We carry no threat at attacking set plays. We don’t show urgency when we fall behind. We sit back and hand the initiative to whoever we play.

I could go on here. But today was much of the same and I'm for the first time very worried. If they can't react on a day like today then we are in deep trouble.

Is that the first game of the season you're watching?
compare this to the last 5-7 league games and you have to admit that wasn't embarrassing

I’ve watched every game and this was the first time we haven’t had a shot on goal for 5 years! That’s what I call embarrassing.
Dunc didn’t get our top players performing

Not getting relegated, I am very worried, this could happen.

Even though we lost today I feel better about our chances of getting a couple of wins and move away from the bottom three. We won’t move very far away but enough to allay fears. However we need the players to play. Newcastle is a very big game.

What today told me, I already knew... no manager will get much out of this squad! Yes, they will get results where Raf didnt, but we have a ceiling and it is quite low. We could effectively strengthen in every position other than Jord. Massive task ahead.

Did DCL play today? So much for him being our saviour… if Arsenal come in with bid, bite their hands off!

Probably in the top 3 stupid posts of the season.

Dunc is clearly not the answer. He has to go. We need a fresh face in to shake things up. Lampard for me

Just woke up so have not had any time to reflect on our brave lionhearts' performance (and not watching one second of the game also limits said reflection). Sadly, I see my usual top picks for MotM (i.e Crab Iwobi or Earwax Rondon) are not able to be selected (since they didn't play). So, in their absence, I have plumped for Gurnalot Kenny.

In his ‘prime’ he missed a sitter against Leeds which cost us 2 points. He is average at best. People like you are holding this club back

 

[dan7787]

Can’t even beat an average Villa, Dunc clearly not the man.

Improved effort but it was like the forward players were almost trying too hard to force it today

[when i score we riot]

Our passing was just pure manure

[Dr James Baxter]

exactly what we have just witnessed is why.

That makes no sense.

We didn’t have one nice passing move through midfield to attack. Shocking. Dunc clearly not the man
