Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,673 Posted August 12, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted August 12, 2023 19 shots, an xG of almost 3 and we can't score. Sounds like Leno played his part but what an absolutely stinking result to start the season. Sounds like the Keane goal should have stood and if it had we'd probably have gone on to win but you can't do anything about that. The recruitment team have to get a move on now and fix the last few glaring issues in this squad. Dyche's kid-glove approach with Calvert-Lewin better pay off in the long term as well.

Yeah I've seen it properly now but it's Everton so you have to be ready to go into any given fixture with a -1.0 VAR handicap . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,412 Posted August 12, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted August 12, 2023 Diaby equalises on debut now! Watkins flick header finds Diaby in acres of space to volley with his right foot. What a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 299 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 It kills the mood a bit, he looked in serious pain. I hope it is not as serious as it looks as Mings was making a England push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Terrible run of injuries for Villa. Had not realised how many, but Moreno, Ramsey, Buendia, Traore, Duran & Dendoncker already out. First 3 of those would have been likely starters. Now looks like Mings could be out long term. Suddenly looking like Villa could struggle to rotate full 11 later on in season, unless they use U21s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me so much of Villa slowly, slowly sinking. At least in their demise season they brought in cheap French imports, like Veretout, Amavi & Gueye. Kind of sad to see Everton struggling to even do that sort of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,673 Posted August 12, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted August 12, 2023 Let's see where we're at at the end of the window. It took a pretty scandalous VAR decision, an above average goalkeeping performance and a shocking display of finishing for us to just get edged out today. Still got Calvert-Lewin, McNeil, Chermiti, Danjuma and potentially Gnonto and another striker to add to the attack that cost us the game today.

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I did expect half expect a slow start when it was Newcastle (a) first up. Am mostly hoping the momentum & excitement in & around Villa is not all gone with the opening 6 games. Does feel to me a bit up in the air which way it goes.

As soon as Diaby was nullified and Bailey went off, Newcastle dominated. I'm not sure why Bailey did come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
