"You feel the only thing that could stop Everton here is complacency."

A further illustration of Villa's problems - not one of their players has an average position outside of their own half.

“Villa really need half-time now, Everton are hurting Villa on the right-hand side and they look like scoring every time they go forward.”     

Looking again, Lukaku had an initial chance that was blocked. The ball ran free, Coleman pounced and Lukaku was back on his feet to head in. Villa defenders were playing hide and seek.

"Romelu Lukaku is a big strong player, and he collided with Micah Richards, but Lukaku springs up and puts the ball away. There were claims it might have been a foul but for me that is the most impressive thing about the goal - the quickness of his reaction to get up."

"Kone was not expecting Guzan to keep that out. It's a really good save."

Villa almost come a cropper in some danger of their own creation. Jordan Veretout gives the ball away, starting an Everton attack that Villa scramble away. Everton come again, Arouna Kone denied from close range by a wonderful Guzan save. One-sided is an understatement.

Just to illustrate how much this game must change if Villa are to get back in it, have a look at the action areas so far.

How do Villa respond? If the plan was to sit on a point, that has gone out of the window. It's probably good for the game that the visitors now have to come out and play.

“I can’t say that Everton deserve it because their crowd has been on edge but Villa have been sitting too deep and they will have to look at changing their approach.”

"It was a lovely build-up and simple finish for Barkley. Any Everton fears of frustration were lifted in that moment.

"Two fantastic flicks in the build-up, and there were five or six players queuing up to score - they were desperate to put one away. If they carry on on the offensive here they could get two or three. It's worrying for Aston Villa."

Now then, the first sign of goalmouth action. Seamus Coleman is in there, getting in a shot after wrestling with Kieran Richardson. Unfairly, says the ref, so Guzan's save was not needed.

“Everton’s crowd are grumbling because they’ve had two promising free-kicks and they haven’t got it past the first man, which is pretty basic, Villa look determined and are keeping their shape well.”

"If you've taken over as captain of a ship that is sinking, your first job is to plug the holes. That's what Remi Garde seems to have in mind today."

Now then, an Everton free-kick from the right, coming about after Kieran Richardson pretty much slaps Gerard Deulofeu. Nothing coming from it, not the resulting corner. Everton not making the most of their possession, they haven't worked Brad Guzan yet.

It's like a training ground game at the moment, a cross between attack v defence and keep ball. Everton in almost exclusive possession of the ball, Villa trying desperately hard to get a kick.
