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

[Curtis]

Mate, we can’t beat Burnley, Watford or Norwich ffs. What makes you think we have a chance against these.

We tend to show more up against the top teams than the bottom ones. One of our few wins was against Arsenal, we got a draw against Chelsea and should of had a draw against man city if not for referee ineptitude

 

[Blue Sky]

I was a dithering wreck until Burnley's 3rd , it was like I was put of my misery and came over all calm and tranquil
Exception had the heart pounding , realisation was a shot of morphine .

In the car on the way back now, gang of bottle jobs cant even hang on for a draw, letting us down every week, unbelievable how Kenny started again, may aswell be playing with 10 men, disgraceful.

It is hopeless, I thought we'd never ever go down. Everton in my life time has always had bodies in the team who when the chips are down turn up.

This lot are a different breed, all overrated no marks who think so highly of themselves it's untrue, they are crap to a man and Lewin is the epitome of it, a disgrace to the shirt.......a tenth of the man the Yak was and that's being kind. Holgate, Godfey, Branthwaite even, just not Everton players, pure manure.

Look at the crap we've been through which has brought us here......Gomes, Delph, Bernard, Iceland,Gomes,Tosun,Holgate, Davies, DCL,Keane ..the list is endless and costly. Worst I've seen. Burnley murdered us. The whole lot of them stink Walton out.

I don't think Burnley "murdered us". Most of our wounds were totally self inflicted...being beaten by skill and technique is more acceptable than that tonight - and Burnley didn't show that. Very unfair to bracket young Branthwaite with those other wasters you name.. the few games the lad has played, hes given 100% and is a great prospect.

Lads and lasses, we're going down. But we're Everton, whats our name! Couldn't give a [Poor language removed] about red [Poor language removed] or owt else, we go down, we go down. I'll still support us as much as ever, as I know you all (most) will.
I never wanted lamps, but I'd stick with him personally now. I travel 150 miles and make half our games, ill not stop going, hope you lot won't.
We'll be back, keep Gordon (offer Ritchie naming stand after him) and get rid if rest.
Everron, what our name!

 

[UltraVires]

He was far and away the best player on the pitch today. Feel sorry for him going into the dressing and seeing Kenny, Godfrey, Doucoure etc sat there looking gormless.

Not sure what you are watching mate. Richy scored two penalties but don’t think he was up to much besides that to be honest. He’s been awful all season as has everyone else

 

[Steve EFC]

We were down in November, the minute we got canned in the Derby and Benitez wasn’t sacked…. That was us down

Those who backed him, own it. It’s on you

Utter garbage pal. How’s it on the minority of supporters who don’t actually make the decisions?!

 

[Bluerover]

A manager who should never been appointed, then was dismissed far far too late having tossed out two creative players

Leaving it till Deadline Day to sign a new manager, but signing 2 full backs and an unneeded loanee without one

Injury after injury after injury

Mistake after mistake after mistake

Decisions going against us, only to still mess up when we finally get a rub of the green

Convinced there’s a hex on the club and it’s been in place since we spoke out about the Scab 6

Mate, there has been a hex on us since at least 1977 with the exception of the mid 80s.

However I am not superstitious. This predicament is simply down to incompetence on and off the field.

 

[anton66]

How stupid of me to look at the league table at halftime. Totally forgetting how utterly crap we are.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Sorry Frank, you're speaking through your ring piece.

9 with Calvert Lewin

 

[brieverton]

I didn't watch any of it. The club is terminal now. It's desperately sad and shocking how its turned so horrific.

 

[terryefc]

I really like Branthwaite - but the rest - especially Pickford, Kenny, Holgate and Godfrey have been hopeless all year. Put them on gardening leave. Worst back 4 in our history. Fuming at DCL letting Tarkowski mug him off. He should have been in the seats. But Kenny and Godfrey are always gonna let us down. I;ve seen enough to never wanna see them in our shirt again. And please start Beovic from now on. Midget Pickford just terrifies me everytime the opposition play the ball into our box. An appalling defeat - but thoroughly consistent with a season of despair. Sickening.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

And to top it all, Ancelotti gets a stunning result in London. Brilliant.

He did read the tea leaves and smell the stench of the hierarchy here very very well in hindsight.
