Match Thread Everton v Burnley - Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

That was so so bad.

 

[Verbal Kint]

It was brutal viewing it must be said.

Performances, nobody great.

Solid enough from Branthwaite
Mykolenko
Coleman
Gomes....

Effort good from the rest

 

[PITA]

you got some other 1-0s in your repertoire you'd like to compare this to? Or can we agree only beating this Burnley side 1-0 when they had 10 men and a dodgy keeper is a little less of a victory

They had 11 men for 3/4 of the game and we won the game. You need to have a beer and stop worrying about what you can’t change. Everyone knows that we are a bit crap but we won. We got ahead/closer to Brentford and Palace. We stayed the same distance from the mighty Luton and probably have gone 3 points ahead of Forest. I’m having a beer and, hopefully, keeping the grim reaper at bay by not getting stressed.

BTW, goal difference is not really an issue.

Just because sometimes that’s given a pen in todays game doesn’t mean that was a pen today

It shouldn’t have been a pen. And if that were called against us the other way around we’d be rightly fuming

Two wrongs don’t make a right. I’d like to see these soft pens out of the game

It’s just a pen

We were useless but we won.

Took Dom to get one in, a Team to keep them out. Onwards and upwards

….my son is on holiday abroad, he dressed his two little girls in their Everton kits and set off from his all inclusive to a bar with fellow Toffees. They FaceTimed me tonight, a 5 year old and a 3 year old still wearing their kits; “Grandad, Everton won”. It’s important.

 

[Titus Bramble]

First trip to the old lady since Allardyce's last home game in charge today.

Not pretty by any stretch, but a win's a win. And it’s a huge win considering the other results today… Brentford and Palace are suddenly now very much in it… the more teams down there the better.

If we can get 6 points from our remaining 4 games this month, we should be going into the Luton game all but safe.

Eggs, it’s more than important. I first stepped foot in Goodison in December 1980. Since then this is the worst Everton side I’ve seen since then. It’s bloody painful and embarrassing to watch. Seeing them get outplayed by ten man Burnley was a new low. I’m sick of getting so depressed and frustrated watching them play like a bunch of amateurs. I’m glad your granddaughters managed to see a win because like you said, it’s important.

sniff that klopp

 

[Voodoo Billy]

That first half was one of the poorest halves of football I've ever sat through. Two pretty poor sides with little imagination. We looked better after DCL's goal but seemed afraid to get at them during the last 15 minutes in case we let our lead slip. 3 valuable points is 3 valuable points, lets just hope Lord Dickie Masterful doesn't pickpocket us again on Monday. UTFT!

 

[Victus]

Kompany talking about the cost of our squad is genuinely hilarious.

 

[Amw79]

Pretty grim game. Best moments other than the goal was McNeil throwing his head at the ball 1 foot off the ground to clear (great stuff), and a fantastic last minute challenge in the box by Branthwaite.

Had forgotten what a win felt like.

How bad must Burnley be
