  1. Completely agree Davis biggest problem is that we set ourselves up based on Watkins off the ball on both sides of it, movement on it and pressing off it, you can say that Davis holds it up better or that Davis wins headers or whatever but that's not how we seemingly want to play I feel for him cos I think he's a good player but we're not going to set ourselves up around him, he's not good enough for that
  2. Yeah he has The frustration with him has been that he's a decent player when he wants to be a decent player, at his lowest this season his lack of professionalism has warranted the stick that he got Again tonight he showed he can play
  3. I would lazily guess that there are more than a fair few who don't understand football beyond what they see them do on the ball He's genuinely one of the best off the ball players I've seen at villa, never stops, his 1 man pressing reminds me of alexis sanchez Even the one miss tonight, back post off his thigh, that's great reactionary technique, it's a harder ball than it looks due to its height and he's done everything right, it's great play by him and even better from pickford, if he somehow found some luck he'd be incredible
  4. Would have got my goal of the season vote So nonchalant
  5. They're nothing special are they? The mega rich owners, spent a lot of money, carlo as manager, that great CL chasing start to the season. .. And they're just not that good, still need a lot of money spent on them, will be interesting to see if we're in the same central midfielder market as them cos sigurdsson and Andre Gomes are tosh and need replacing and Delph is half broken
  6. I know it's a cliche... But surprised at how many people didn't think he would start given it was everton Best he's played this year, played alright last week too, its good management from Smith, baggies was an "easy" game (that we obviously didn't win) tonight was vs his old club., now he just need to keep it going for 5 more games
  7. Why didn't we make our first sub in the 18th minute? It's what the top managers do
  8. State of this guy tonight PE teacher with a fitness first pass And they wonder why they struggle with the pace of the game... Increase the professionalism
  9. Not just the win, created loads, could have been out of sight in the first half, great game overall Didn't think there was a single part of that game where we were struggling or under any real pressure, not an easy game but one where we definitely played well for long periods
  10. That Barkley desire to win the ball and clearance seen for the first time in 2021
  11. Allan didn't really get him there But it looked like he wanted to
  12. Bout the only thing he is allergic to by the look of him
  13. I can almost hear him screaming "basics, basics"
  14. 100% this Everton had a decent 5 to 10 mins, not even great just good, and the knicker wetters came out Our history tells us to do it but we don't half get nervous as a fan base
  15. I think Barkleys overlap or at least busting a gut to make that overlap played a big part too Colman (?) got stuck in the mud because of it
  16. That's why you don't make a sub Now get fresh legs on...
  17. The fact that it's 1-1 and even, the bench is poor Or more likely his seeming general philosophy that subs are largely detrimental, maybe due to them getting up to speed maybe for some other reason, he doesn't seem to think a sub will automatically make us better which to be fair isn't always wrong Bring Davis on and we will be better... Will we though?
  18. Mcginn ignoring every simple open 5 yard pass he can in favour of finding a cul de sac
  19. I think Everton have grown in to it a little but the game is still even They have 2 shots on 5 mins and the demand to make a sub come up, seeing the game differently
  20. Earlier in the season I had it on and the wife was pottering about, after about 20 mins she turned to me and said "who the **** is Jack grealish? They don't shut up about him"
  21. Signs that fans are twitchier than the manager is
  22. German sky just went on a 5 minute reading off of all of grealishs stats properly bigging him up and obviously saying what a difference he makes to us They love him
