Full Everton analysis after Aston Villa beat the Blues 4-0 at Villa Park
One thing you don’t expect to see with a Sean Dyche side is a soft centre but Everton were brushed aside with far too much ease at Villa Park and unfortunately the player at the heart of that collapse was Michael Keane.
Both 30 years of age and England internationals, Keane and stand-in captain James Tarkowski, who was the only outfielder to play every minute for his club in the Premier League last season, have played over 230 English top flight matches apiece whereas Branthwaite’s figure currently stands on just 10.
That proved to be a baptism of fire for the £33.5million signing as he was thrust into the action as an 81st minute substitute and despite only being on the field of play for a relatively short space of time, Onana still managed to have a hand in two goals at either end of the pitch, losing possession in the build-up to Villa’s second before fashioning Everton’s strike just moments later.
It’s understood that Blues chiefs believe that over time, Onana can become just as good, if not better, than Chelsea’s £115million signing Moises Caicedo but he’s not there yet and beleaguered Blues need to start seeing progression in the short term too.Once again Everton’s substitutions were reactive rather than proactive in a game in which the opposition’s changes made a telling influence on proceedings.
