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

[Rook]

Keep blaming Benitez as you did Silva as you did Koeman.

The penny will drop eventually that its the players not the last 5 managers in 6 seasons.

someday its gonna have to be the players fault.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Slow motion collapse. To be fair should be 0-3. How can we score if we don't shoot. Just running around in circles.

 

[BigBlueConk]

We don't have the players to change this.
Sad times.

 

[UptheTofees]

i preach patience

It takes a long time to recover from the Benitez effect

 

[Bob Latchford]

Were getting absolutely overrun towards the end.

 

[Zatara]

Townsend + Gomes almost certs to be subbed off...

Could see Gordon and Allan come on for them.

Dobbin getting mins wouldnt shock me.

Oh hello...

Lets get these 2 off at half time.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Listen we've been rubbish in the first half all season. Don't know why we're going on like we were expecting something different. We'll come out better second half but Gomes needs to come off. The final ball across the team has been woeful

 

[MockBu4]

The hate for Digne is weird

yep, and throwing stuff is even worst karma than singing bad chants

 

[MACCA75]

As if we sold Digne lol

Genuinely horrendous decision.

 

[BlueToff]

BTW, our fan who threw the bottle is an absolute freak. Get them banned. No need for it at all.

 

[cooperman]

Digne gave it absolutely massive after that goal

Can you blame him after being widely booed

 

[kleew]

Patterson, Myko, Brainthwaite, Dobbin... Rooney's starting line up

 

[TrixyStevens]

Where is the next win going to come from. It’s frightening. It’s looking likely that we will go down. Players do not have the ability to defend or the composure to score goals.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Bit of an odd half. The team is battling now for sure, we look like we care again and are fighting to win the ball back.

There just isn't anything creatively in the side. Nothing Ferguson can do about that mind you but gomes passing has been awful and doucoure releasing the ball has been sloppy as well.

We need someone in this side who can create chances or we will be defended out of games. Two strikers and no shots, clearly the issue is midfield.

 

[COYBL25]

All dat der fat Spanish waiters faul.... oh wait!

I did tell people this months ago stop focusing on the manager and start looking at the recruitment/players on the pitch.

Have you considered the fact you want us to get relegated and constantly chat bubbles, that no one really listens to you ?
