Everton 0-1 The Mighty Aston Villa post match detox

[Toronto Villa]

Anybody else see the `Make Everton Great Again`hats in the crowd. Pathetic and wrong in so many ways. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that such a gobshite bunch of fans would find that OK.

Give it time. They’ll be singing “Everton are White”.

American owners now so probably felt that was ok.

I do feel that Konsa keeping the ball under pressure on the sidelines definitely needs some recognition for the goal happening.

[Steve67]

I wish them relegated. It’s time.

How do you 'Make Anything Great Again' by wearing a £2:99 cap made by a kid in a sweatshop in the Far East? ..

I couldn’t watch the second half but in the first it looked like Emery was back to his first system with us again. Kamara dropping into the back three in possession. I noticed he tried it in the second half v West Ham too, possibly he’s realised we need to do it when Torres is out.

[Louzie0]

Oooh, Ollie!
So pleased he’s back!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We made it hard for ourselves due to poor finishing. If Ramsey and Watkins, maybe Rogers too had finished their easy chances nobody would be questioning the performance. Riding out 30+ minutes with just the one goal lead is never the best option.

I feel sorry for Everton getting Moyes back. It could be worse, he could have gone and worked for the Samaritans.

[Grande Pablo]

If our finishing was better it would have been much more comfortable, but very chuffed with both the result & the performance.

Mings, Onana & Kamara outstanding.

Yep, Cash was getting much further forward as a result and he had another decent game.

I think the impact of Mings on how we defend was clear tonight, he's just so much better at stepping up and winning the ball, both in the air and through pressing aggressively. He lacks the quality and finesse of Torres but in games like that where all they have to offer is aggression and physicality having someone just shut them down really helps.

[eye digress]

I do wonder why someone who has been making regular subs to ensure certain players didn't burn out decided we needed barely no subs this time around, and played Ollie for 90mins for the fourth game straight. Duran would have caused them some problems at the end I felt.

Thought that too. The tide of the game turned against us from around 70 mins… was imploring Unai to make a few changes.

[Nelly]

So glad we've won again! Really grateful. This could be a very special season, even though we're probably about two gears below our top. I think Unai might be thinking "season management" more than game management currently.

Kamara was a monster today, he was so busy, set off a lot of moves for us, tidied up some of our loose play. Gigantic. I also though Cash did well. Ramsay and Buendia, I'm sure more will come from them both.

With the history that Villa and Everton have, I would have just about forgiven them for winning today, but sack that - we won our last ever game at their ground. That'll stand forever.

[RamboandBruno]

Everton had 5 mins of pressure after we scored, but then went really flat for about 15 minutes. I thought that was the time to go for the jugular and I thought Unai could of maybe brought Duran or Bailey on then or Maatsen for Digne. But we never and then faced the inevitable nervy last 10 minutes.

Everton are an incredibly poor side and if Ipswich can string some results together if could be between Everton & Wolves for the last relegation spot.

Anyway, we haven’t played really well since Brentford at home, but we are massively in the mix for the top four.

We will have to retain possession better on Saturday though.

I remember when we were disappointed that we didn’t get Moyes in as manager.  I know he’s had his good times but by God his play is turgid.
