Match Thread Everton v Aston Villa (Thursday 16 July 18:00) - MotM Poll

[Tin-Tin]

Aaah unlucky

 

[allen]

Branthwaite looks very good.

Nice ball out to Digne. Looks like he can play.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Our midfield sure like a stare around to see if someone else will deal with it

 

[daza_1973]

Mings is everywhere

He's merciless

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Osman would walk into this team..

So would Brett Angel

 

[GT77]

Osman would walk into this team..

Well that'd be going at the same pace as the rest of them.

 

[Ducans elbow]

I knew we were bad didn't realize how bad

 

[AmericasToffee]

Davies and Gomes being split by a pass so easy

 

[Parker]

Liking the look of young Branthwaite. Good on the ball and left footed, could be a good partner for Holgate.

Want to see his pace tested a bit more though, looks a bit Keane-y without the ball.

 

[Lloydystark]

Davies doesn’t spirit at all. I remember when he made his debut, he was everywhere. Chased everything. These days he just trots around. V disappointed with his development.

He offers for the ball more than a lot but many in his own half for the short pass. Needs to be told to express himself more and play a higher role

 

[matty1878]

What are we doing with these goal kicks

 

[joebocop]

I think I hate Davies more than I hated Osman. There I said it

Osman was very talented but lightweight midfielder that eventually found a way to be a very effective midfielder in our team.

Mad to throw shade at him. Davies and Osman don't deserve to be compared.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I'm howling at there being zero support given to the man in possession, hardly any forward runs. What the hell they doing?

So static. Nobody moves unless the ball is played. Painful.

 

[JohnRoss23]

Digne is about the only player I trust on this team...

 

[TommyDavo]

Gordon needs to come on at half time.

The next super hero eh, dry the sheets lad
