Watch out for Juthkiewicz. Hasn't scored yet in the PL bit good on him to have made it in the PL after making his way up through hardwork.

Excellent preview Chico, loved the men on stilts.

The last time we played Burnley we had the team and subs below, is it just me or does that team look average compared to whatever today's line-up is and the bench look pretty gash again compared to what today's Will be, no wonder we lost. 3-0 to the mighty Blues today.

Everton: Tim Howard, Tony Hibbert, Joseph Yobo, Phil Neville, Leighton Baines, Leon Osman, Jack Rodwell, Marouane Fellaini (Jo 66), Tim Cahill, Steven Pienaar, Louis Saha. Subs not used: Carlo Nash, Shane Duffy, Dan Gosling, James Wallace, Jose Baxter, James Vaughan.

No wonder we went down 3-0 in the first half!

I'd take a 1 nil all day today playing cr@p.

Get out of that hole with 3pts

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Six nil Burnley today, Barkley and Baines sent off for us for fighting each other.

Too tired post Lille to read Chicos preview, anything of note mentioned, or just the usual dirge

@chicoazul mate. What do you reckon?

I'd swerve it, the usual dirge to be honest. Absolutely no tactical insight or gain by reading it and with it being wools you can pretty much guess the gist of it. Scruffs, way they speak, crap clobber etc.

Robles, Oviedo, Distin, Besic, McGeady, Osman, Eto'o

I initially had Naismith on the bench, but I just couldn't go through with it...

This would be my XI too. Naismith will deffo start given the weeks rest.

I think I'd actually be surprised if it was any other line up.
Edit: Except Osman FFS. Forgot he existed for a moment there...

Looks like they're trying every trick in the book for their first win today.

Burnley Manager Sean Dyche has tried to whip up support from Lancashire in his team's quest for their first victory against Everton in the Premier League today Turf Moor. Dyche said "there's a real feeling of local pride not just in Burnley but in the wider area in how local Lancashire teams can compete with not the funds of the big city teams. Im not sure the teams from the big populations like Liverpool can understand that pride".
Dyche also added that the kinship of the people in the area over rides local hostilities when it comes to playing the big city clubs "we are the backwards 'wools' in their eyes and can do no good. But we're from the same family, in some cases literally, and have a fighting mentality that the scousers would find difficult to understand. It was born down the pits and hard times, and strengthened on the rugby league pitch. We will fight as hard as anyone on the pitch and that has to be the key to success today".

.....Naismith could be a victim of his own success, outstanding so far this season coming in as cover for Barkley and giving RM a selection headache trying to accommodate both now Barkley is fit.

Last season's success was built on a team model of 2 defensive midfielders and Barkley picking it up deep and turning defence into attack. Naismith operates higher up the pitch. Can RM accommodate both in their best positions; does he bite the bullet and leave one out; or does he play both but have one not in his most effective role.

This is where a manager earns his corn.
