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

[gianthogweed]

Better than the Wolves game but really it is just nothing football no creativity just going through the motions Villa need to come out here and have a proper go or their down

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Too many lazy mercenaries. Should never be getting out-shot and outfought at our own ground.

 

[Caolam]

....cricket is still on. England 195-3.

and they have the same number of shots on target

 

[TheBigIguana]

I'm not really sure tactically what our plan is for creating chances. Yes the players aren't very good but what are they supposed to be doing here? That's not as clear as it should be I don't think.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Everton have scored just 15 second-half goals in the PL this season - only Norwich have scored fewer (12).

We only need to score 1 - and keep a clean sheet.

 

[Obes]

The amount of times I’ve seen obvious forward passes completely ignored for the safer option of sideways or backwards is depressing. We are incapable and/or unwilling to play through the lines. Safety-first football at its finest.

 

[Liamliverpool86]

Davis is totally gutless, the only play he's got is back pass, beside falling over. Midfield is so layback it almost dissolves into the back line and our back four seemed to play their midfiled roles better. Something definitely needs rewiring.

i'd keep him on ahead of gomes

infact gomes comes off for me for gordon - richarlison on the wing and kean uptop

very open game for them two

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Lazy shithouses think they’re on holiday already.

 

[Houghty19]

Branthwaite looking decent for me. Change it up bring on Gordon and give kean 45minutes

 

[Ring master]

We only need to score 1 - and keep a clean sheet.

having shot on target would go along way to that

 

[deipnosophist]

. I had expectations for this clash of two English heavyweights...and they have been more-than met. Both giants of the game have outdone themselves in performing to their uncommonly inimitable standards.
Jolly good stuff. My morning at Jester's is something else indeed!

 

[TippEverton]

The best part of that half was my power nap between minutes 20 and 28.

 

[Papa Shango]

Too many lazy mercenaries. Should never be getting out-shot and outfought at our own ground.

They just simply aint that good.

We have too many flawed players.

Do the grounds really mean that much right now?

 

[hktoffee]

This is Villa at home...come on.

 

[blue to the bone]

They will have to go for it as the game wears on. Bringin in Walcott and Gordon last half will help stretch them and get us a winner.
