First of all let me state that I am one of those Evertonians who is never happy and probably over critical. but it comes from having been priveliged to watch Everton Teams from the past. from the Catterick and Kendall era's! But after watching that so called performance last night against Aston Villa. I'm completely at a loss to explain just what Everton actually do in Training all week? If any of the Coaching Staff reads this, can they please come on here and explain. The BT commentator and McManaman were beside themselves about the "excellant form Jordan Pickford was in", making a number of wonderful saves to keep Everton in the game when Villa were threatening to run away with it! It was Pickfords fault, along with Holgate and at times Ben Godfrey with all the passing across the penalty box, back and forth whilst being closed down by Villa players. it was a goal just waiting to happen, and sure enough, Holgate got caught in possession. But even after that happening, Pickford still insisted on playing the ball out to the defenders regardless of them being closed down constantly by Villa. so it's just as well he made a number of saves. The Villa Keeper and their defenders were playing the ball long over the top, turning our defence every time for Ollie Watkins to win the ball at will. thought he played really well. But Everton just didn't change how they were playing at at times it was embarassing! Richarlison needs to stop spittin his dummy out every time the ball doesn't run for him, he needs to roll his sleeves up and stop sulking. I have said before, that Pickford does not fill our defenders with confidence, nor Me, great shot-stopper, but very shaky on crosses and corners etc. Lack of crowds or not, the performances Everton have put in at Goodison this season have been nothing short of embarassing and some of these players are being paid £100,000 PER WEEK. no matter how badly they perform. Surely I'm not the only Blue who feels it's not good enough? Sorry if I've upset some of you, but I've supported Everton for over 60 years now, and we are so inconsistent. any form of success seems years away. COYB. (PLEASE) .

Very good read but I feel your being very over critical of Pickford he was outstanding and has been for the last 8 games, I do agree with you over tactics I texted around just after the goal watch what we do passed to Godfrey then Holgate back to Pickford who hits it long and we lose the ball that comes from the manager as that's what they have been told to do. I was sitting there last night waiting for villa to grab a second you could see it coming all match all they had to do was hit it in the channels and they were free it happened all game and we didn't change anything up to counter act it for me it's another game that shows a lot of our players are bottle jobs and will not take us into Europe and for the 456th time on the run this is our biggest summer otherwise another season like this and Carlo will probably of had enough and then what do we do.
