Ratings & Reactions: LC3: Villa v Everton

[StefanAVFC]

Insanely poor. Emery the league manager it seems.

[Gompedyret]

Ugh.

 

[Jareth]

We clearly don't have the squad depth we need. I mean what is the point of some of these squad players if starting them = that shit

[YLN]

Tielemans should have been taken off after 15 minutes. I'll be interested to see his passing stats on whoscored. 50% successful? 

[Chasetown Villa]

Tielemens: “I want to play more.”

Well, you’ve well and truly **** that.

[flashingqwerty]

Unai cost us 2 games in just over a week with poor team selection and bad tactics.

[Amed]

3rd 3rd round exit in 3 years… amazing… still not sure what to make of us - at times we looks so fragile. The defeats have been abysmal this season - every single one was fully deserved from the 1st minute! 

 

 

[Rodders]

Could have tried to play football for more than 10 minutes to see if that worked. **** shite. Our squad is **** weak as piss. Real waste of a chance to go far. One less game for the **** to embarrass themselves in though I guess

[foreveryoung]

Not the end of the world, but against Everton and we were awful. Not so bad if we tried for 90 minutes, instead of 10.

[osmark86]

That was plain awful.

MotM Konsa who actually played pretty well all in all. I don't really blame him for not knowing how to react to the hugely underhit pass from Tielemans.

At least it's only the Carabou Cup, but we can't be this lackluster in the tournaments or we will continue to bomb out of them. Shameful.

[jacketspuds]

Squad needs to major work still. But we need to give the likes of Chambers, Tielemans and Dendoncker opportunities to prove if they have what it takes to play the way Emery wants.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, they don’t.

[AV82]

Play the first 11 and we win that comfortably. 
 

[Awol]

Starting 11 + 3 or 4 (when all fit) is a top 6 team. 
 

We are Rizla thin after that.

[AntrimBlack]

A double whammy.

We lost the game and the first teamers did not get the rest they were supposed to get.

[rbcuk]

Glad I didn’t go, saved £36.50 than to go and watch that rubbish tonight 

[Caddy]

I had a gut feeling there was a lot more than just salt and sour grapes to what Lestah fans had to say about Tielemans being lazy, slow, heavy legs, etc. And it turns out it's completely true. Dude is cooked.

[Jas10]

So…

is our season going to go

WLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWL….?

Abysmal today.

There was more than enough first team players today

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

Meh... Everton were due a win against us.

I'd be lying if i said i was devastated to be out of this cup.

HOWEVER... there are things which worry me.

We are simply too slow, no urgency, even when it's needed.

We were comfortably on top at one stage in the first half.. but so lax like it was a training session.

No one but ourselves to blame.

[mykeyb]

Too little too late.

If Emery is going to use our squad players it needs to be in a more effective way than he has managed so far.
