Match Thread Burnley v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Ufotone]

I'd like a front 3 to include Dobbin, reason being I would just have been running and penetrating these. DCL won't get a sniff against these at all. I don't see the point in playing him

He's certainly been poor of late. No real goal threat

But might he helpful at defending all those set pieces that Burnley will no doubt play for.

Tragically true

Erm,@AndyC should give his thoughts here I think

Oy, leave ar kid out of it - he can't help being a sex symbol

 

[kiss the crest]

We have to score first, quieten the crowd and please no stupid errors

Big ask, but I think this is vital.
Come on Everton for Christ sake give us a break and something to cheer about

Gravy.

No Goats 11 to start cos I have ZERO idea who is fit.

Not my proudest wank but managed nonetheless

Frank bigged him up before the West Ham game and was obviously expecting a performance, but he was invisible, and seemingly not arsed.

Pickford
Coleman Godfrey Branthwaite Mykolenko
Gordon Iwobi Doucoure Richarlison
Alli
DCL

I think that's our best available side. Its not great, but I think we need to try and push them back. I dont see any midfield combination that looks right so we've got to make sure we are compact.

4411. Get it forward quickly. Hit diagonals over the top to Alli.

Sleepless nights until then.

Would honestly pay an absurd amount of money to be frozen in Carbonite until next Thursday so I don't have to think about this game all week and then even worse have to watch it.

You know what I like about MG’s previews.

Date & time in the title.

It would help if Richarlison and Gordon weren’t so selfish in and around the box. Both do good work, then usually try and shoot from ridiculous positions.

I need to give myself a good slapping for saying this, but I would actually play Rondon rather than DCL, who’s offering very little atm. I know Rondon is basically a statue, but at least he’s a target man and might give us some physicality against Burnley’s defence.

Happy to settle for a draw right now because we will most definitely not win this game.
