Not watching the game, but Everton looked so toothless when I saw them on Match of the Day last week. Don't know where their goals are going to come from.

They're going to struggle again this season. This is their level now - bottom third of the league.

Annoys me that Dyche keeps playing Garner out wide and Keane.

DCL probably out again. No luck.

Thought they might try the young striker they bought Chermiti. Considering they've nobody reliable up front, don't understand why they haven't given him a go

Dyche doesn’t play people who aren’t completely fit unless he absolutely has to.

I'm not liking these long injury times. World Cup was fine but seems overkill in the league

Everton's right wing is completely missing, Digne is all alone there.
Garner is good and has his place but it’s not as a right midfielder and it pisses me off that Dyche keeps playing him there.

Dyche has no excuse to keep starting Keane, absolutely shite player. Garner at RM is criminal management too. Tarkowski has also dropped off a cliff in terms of ability, we have a really poor defence and defensive shape at times for a supposed manager that excels at it. The penalty is more about Tarkowski being asleep than Pickford.

Well done Dyche for putting Garner in CM like everyone’s been telling you to.

Villa are decent, and will be challenging Newcastle/Man Utd/Chelsea/Spurs/Brighton for around the 5th/6th spot imo. They lost a bit of an anomaly last week at Newcastle. Was never a 5-1 game, there wasn't much in it. Impressed with Diaby, although they need to rely on players staying fit, as the squad depth is quite weak.

The unflushables look like they are in for another long season. Bet they wish they went down when they should, might have done them some good.

Would happily take a few of these Villa players. Wonder how many of ours Emery would want…

Last season Everton were saved from relegation by skin of their teeth. This season they will certainly get relegated.
