Aston Villa Review: Weakened Villa beaten at home by Everton amid transfer turmoil

What goes up, must come down. Is that just the unavoidable truth of physical gravity or a directive from the football powers that be? Well, that depends on your outlook.Aston Villa have suddenly found themselves in a frustrating spot. Depleted by a handful of injuries to players in the same position and the expedited loanish-sale of their only back-up striker, Villa fell at home for the first time in twelve games.They were beaten 1-0 in the Premier League by Everton, who visited Villa Park with some personnel absences of their own. There are no excuses here, just a performance that wasn’t nearly good enough to win the match.This week, we talk about the Everton defeat and Villa’s transfer window woes, as well as the latest addition to the injury problems that have now decimated Unai Emery’s midfield.Chris Nee and Steven Green also discuss Villa’s upcoming matches in the Europa League and Premier League. It might be worth reminding yourself, as we do in this episode, that Villa are third in both tables.If you enjoy our podcast, the best ways to express that are:* Subscribe to the podcast and, if you can, pick up a paid subscription to Aston Villa Review for just £4 per month* Tell every Villa supporter you’ve ever metYou can subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts and wherever else you download your podcasts by searching for Aston Villa Review.
