• Derek - 147 - mate, you missed out that Garner should have got a second yellow - and he should have, for his brainfart push on Rogers....
  Paul Griffiths in Aston Villa vs Everton: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch
• As we still lack an edit button, just a word on Grealish, on his return he played the Pantomime Villian to perfection (all he lacked was a Top Hat, Cape and a twirly moustache. He put me in mind of Jack Lemon's Professor Fate in the Great Race..which Heath Ledger based his Joker on) gesturing...but not clapping, engagjng with the crowd and Villa players, who were 3 deep on him sometimes....
  Derek Thomas in Aston Villa vs Everton: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch
• How far could we go if Moyes trusted players more? Players in the right position in defence, youth over experience in midfield. Every time he is forced into this so called 'bare bones' selection we look like a better team. There is nothing to lose this season, 32 points already, no cup competitions, a highly mediocre league. Surely now is the time to be braver, take more risks - just trust the players....
  Darrel Pugh in Aston Villa vs Everton Player Ratings: Garner shines again in fantastic away win
• Broadly thought the ratings were pretty fair. Id have given Garner, Mykolenko & Armstrong slightly higher. Garner only 0.5 over the centre back felt a bit mean. I thought it was a brilliant midfield display from him away from home. I've watched Everton capitulate a many a time on a Sunday away afternoon, but not with this lad....
  Ian Bennett in Aston Villa vs Everton Player Ratings: Garner shines again in fantastic away win
• Barry has turned it around since the Fulham game, where he was clapped off the pitch. He"s far from the finished article. He rarely shoots, but his last 10 games are a significant improvement on his first 10. Regilar starts from the manager and training are turning the kid around. Long way to go yet, but it looking very difficult when he first arrived. He is a big lad, and when he fills out, he is going to be a handful....
  Ian Bennett in David Moyes backs Thierno Barry’s potential
• A welcome Monday morning (my time) surprise. Yet another tick in the 'is Moyes better with a very small squad where he can't over think it' box? Who had a bad game? Nobody! is the stern reply, everybody hit their KPIs and beyond...(as they should for that sort of money) Pickford a great save, as did their keeper, but no doubt it will be all about how poor Villa were. Both sides hit the woodwork. McNeil got a daft yellow for a shirt pull, yet a Villa player does the same in the box??? The Linesman...(the Lineswoman did ok - when will she Referee a Premier League game.?) One week, or so it seems, they needn't even have a flag, this week it should be stuck up his arse. VAR was...allegedly...brought in to stop 2 or 3 Howlers a season, now we're seeing half a dozen a week. How long before it's TRUE purpose is revealed...and the screen will show The ACME Paints VAR says...Offside...by the thiness of a coat of our excellent paint And/or during a VAR break a...
