If we win this I think we’ll beat United too.

Pickford
Coleman Branthwaite Godfrey Myko
Doucoure Delph
Gordon Iwobi Rich
DCL

Should be the team for me.

Not saying they aint allowed - its just easy to forget that whatever happens with Everton will have no detriment to you/your loved ones life.

Ultimately its an emotive and expensive past time.

Waiting on cancer test results is when you should be genuinely bricking it not about a bunch of millionaires so out of touch with the real world battling it out over what league they may or may not be playing in next season.

As someone who has terminal cancer I couldn't agree more, I love Everton and will be a season ticket holder till my time is up. But I couldn't have written that better myself.

This game tonight is just another game for Burnley, they are here every season. We will not know what has hit us come kick off.

Burnley should just show this thread to the their players rather than a team talk.

Gravy.

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

The most important game in decades. We simply must avoid defeat.

If iwobi plays then he best put in the performance of his career. That Miss control cost us at least a point Sunday. And that’s not the first time he has done that.

Everton will still be here dissapointing you be it in the PL or Championship.

I've not given this game an ounce of worry tbh - if we stay up great if not we go again next season and try get back up.

With potential trip to Wembley in the playoffs.

Sorry to hear that mate. Wishing you all the best going forwards.

Good luck for tonight.

Holgate to be sent off 33-1? I’m off to the bookies

Say hello to Holgate while you’re in the queue…….

 

[Toffe3m4n]

That's fine, but people still care about football. It's escapism to the other big stuff in life, and people can feel how they want to feel about it.

At this point I'm actively looking for escapism from football personally

Given the lack of midfield options i'd probably go the same. Maybe stick Holgate in a 3 in midfield as i don't think he was terrible and with Delph and Holgate there that might allow Doucoure to break forward. Equally i'd maybe try Dele in the No10 role with Doucoure and Delph behind him doing the running for him and just try to get him on the ball as much as possible and try something different.

My worry is Lampard will persist with this 3/5 at the back he keeps playing. I think he'll go....

The missus' sister in law passed away last night

Cancer at 47

Am I arsed about Burnley V Everton? Not really

 

[Obes]

I will be there tonight and I’m just pleading for not another capitulation. Quite unbelievably, these are actually worse than us somehow. And because of that, don’t think I can take another meek rolling over and coasting to a lousy defeat to such a poor team. Sadly, however, I can easily see it happening because that’s been the case practically all season long. And then when you look at the long list of unavailable players, one can’t help but feel everything and everyone is out to destroy us and bring us down.

I am not hopeful in the slightest as these players, quite simply, have shown next to nothing to suggest they have the courage or even quality to navigate this game without calamity or embarrassment. I hope I am very wrong and come half past nine tonight I can cheer them off the pitch with a vital point or three to take home.

Just seen that Mike Dean is the referee tonight, probably Pawson or Kavanagh on VAR.
