daggy_333 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Holt off for albrighton plz I 'd bring a midfield player on and push Weimann up alongside Benteke. Albrighton ability to run with ball will help on counter attack I'd like to see Albrighton in the middle Why would you want to see Albrighton play in a position he's never played in :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 MOTD's Jonathan Pearce at Goodison ParkHALF-TIME - Everton 0-1 Aston Villa "A few boos for the referee who allowed play to go on after Fabien Delph dispossessed Ross Barkley, with the ball working its way to Leandro Bacuna, who gave Aston Villa the lead with their only shot of the first half. Everton have been disappointing so far." Fat word removed can't even offer any praise. Jonathan Pearce Rofl i expect nothing less than the bloke who used to do the commentary on Robot Wars ffs Clueless clearing in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 **** DEPRESSING Embarassing play. Have we even had the ball apart from the goal? You're embarrassing, we're winning. Your just "result" focused. If you look at our overall game in that half, its been shit. It's called having a game plan. It's working. Everton haven't had any meaningful attacks. We're 1-0 up. I repeat, do you even understand football? Would like to see if u had the same opinion if we didnt score on our only chance in our game, and evertons hit in the bar in the start of the half went in 1) It was the post. Top comprehension kid. 2) If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. Fact of the matter is, we're winning and that's down to a perfectly executed game plan. Everton are getting frustrated and trying to force things. It's not as if we've hung on. We've defended incredibly well and really ground out the half. If you don't want to see a defensive game plan away from home, even if it garners a result, then maybe this isn't the sport for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Not convinced about this Albrighton flavour of the month thing. A couple of good run outs but not what we need for a whole half against this lot. I think Holt is restricting their forward movement from the back.......hard to say he should do a lot at present he hasn't had the ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Holt off for albrighton plz I 'd bring a midfield player on and push Weimann up alongside Benteke. Yep and me. Holt has offered very little. I agree, I'd bring Helenius on to be fair. I don't think Lowton would be able to handle Baines else I'd say but Bacuna in the hole and Lowton on. Was thinking the same, would like to see Bacuna pushed forward but unfortunately it's pretty obvious Baines would destroy Matty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Great tackle by Delph on Barkley, never a foul. Everton fans really are the worst. Probably start crying for every decision now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can go past a man on both sides. Works hard pressing. I've always wanted to see if he could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Really can't understand why anyone is calling for substitutions at this stage??????? First half worked exactly to plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Nice finish from Bacuna. We look happy to just defend and I'm pleased we've got the goal, but I'm still very worried. We're soaking up a hell of a lot of pressure so we need to be a bit more tidy in possession. Please hold on lads, this'd be massive if we could pull this off.

Richard Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thought he'd picked the wrong team and the wrong formation before we started. I'm still not convinced he has. Would love a win obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Holt has persistently fouled and lost the ball, but I wasn't expecting much more. Think PL will keep it the same for 15-20 mins and if we haven't conceded we can try see the game out with some fresh legs. Not been pretty so far but effective. 8 years without a defeat at Goodison will be quite something considering how strong they generally are at home. Defo think we'll need another for a win though. Come on bring it home boys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 We played well ( arguably much much better than Everton ) at Villa Park and lost So I expect us to play crap tomorrow and win Such is footballgot the lottery numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cizzler Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 We were fantastically well-organised that half. I only hope we can maintain our work ethic because it has been crucial. El Ahmadi has a big role to play when he comes on. In the meantime, sort it out United and Spurs! Be disappointing if all the sides below us win too. I'd like to develop a gap.

samjp26 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 More than anything we need another goal and for Bacuna to keep Baines at bay for the rest of the game. There aren't many right backs who can do that, so considering he isn't actually a right back he is doing a bloody good job of it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
