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

[sageyefc]

Kenny just doesn’t have the quality for this level



Dom still looks injured

 

[ChesterBlue]

Good foul that to be fair by Gomes

 

[MKEvertonian]

Come on you blues

 

[DualityNSNO]

He's been here for years because obviously the managers he worked under wanted him here.

He was a condition to be kept as an assistant, even under Ancelotti.

 

[TrachyBlue]

I don't even remotely like Benitez, he was a bizarre appointment and it made it clear we're fighting for 39 points from day 1.

Stop giving excuses for Dunc just because he's an ex player. Same with Coleman, etc. - not good enough, but here for life.

For anyone else the expectations will not be the same as for Dunc, because we, as a fanbase, are ran on sentimentality, not rationality.

I don't hate the man, I hate the way things are ran like that. Pointless to insist on keeping him as an assistant forever, to supposedly make him the manager, but give him 500000000 excuses how he's not ready at every actual opportunity. Either start your career here, now, when ready, or go down the leagues (or to Rangers) and start there.

Go away.

That from Gomes then, wins the ball and boots it straight to their keeper, that sums us up. Just hold on to it for 3 seconds ffs.

 

[kenada_blue]

Allan on for Townsend 2nd half please.

 

[Rook]

docoure w/ the classic school yard own-nutmeg

 

[johnjoeefc]

This has been one of the worst performances so far this season. Need to get Allan in midfield second half or a Loss here is inevitable

 

[Saint Domingo]

Honestly will DCL get involved in this game at any point, barely working

 

[kleew]

Oh dear, doucoure cost us a yellow

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Need Calvert-Lewin to abandon his Ancelotti goalhanging approach here and start to drop/come to the ball/offer some movement.

 

[Lob]

Gomes needs swapping at half time. Missing too many passes and giving needless free kicks away.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

The quality quotient is very low...

 

[allen]

Gomes can never, ever catch a runner. Except literally, like that.
