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

[Del-boy]

Burnley have Norwich on Sunday after playing us. Could well be below them come Sunday afternoon if we lose tonight.

 

[Alan Whittle]

They will play like the cagey snides that they are. The expectation is on them not to lose as they expect to batter Norwich on Saturday. A organised performance like Sunday at WHU with a bit more quality and you’ll see these off.

 

[blue to the bone]

This is true

But they've got us and Norwich next game.

So they'll be thinking if they get 6 points, which they can easily do, then that's them really pushing for safety.

If we'd have drawn half the amount of games that Burnley have this season we'd be safe and that's the annoying thing

We could have drawn the arsenal and Newcastle games very easily as well which wouldn't have helped.
No point now talking about what ifs. We have 10 games to stay up. No excuses if we don't

I bet Aaron Lennon rips us a new one tonight.

I hope he goes to the toilet first

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

Not participating on a football forum might help.

Just a thought like.

Get a win tonight and Leeds/Newcastle are right back in the mix.

 

[Grim Weeper]

Just don’t lose. That’s all. Don’t lose.

Don’t get players sent off. Don’t give away soft goals. Don’t shrink in the face of the first hard challenge or miss hit pass.

Gravy.

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

Has anyone mentioned the words must win yet?

Very true, but GOT isn't all about Everton I guess!

 

[Toffeelover]

Not sure I will be able to watch this game tonight. It gives me the shudders.

Burnley will want to snatch a goal and then defend for the rest of the game.

That's a lot of don'ts..

Come on Everton. How about tonight just turning up. No stupid mistakes.
Be solid in defence. A clean sheet would be great. Then boss the midfield. Doucoure plays his one good game in ten. DVDB is majestic tonight. Gordon shows that he possesses a finishing touch. Richarlson produces some Brazilian magic. And DCL rediscovers his goalscoring touch.
We get a nice lead. Then Lampard shows some strategic nous. And makes changes that simply see the game out. We win. Three points. Move on.

Naw........it's Everton. I'm dreaming. How about just trying your best. And maybe just do me and everyone else a big favour. Cut out the bloody mistakes. No mistakes. We could/should win. Burnley don't score much. So don't give them a helping hand. So tonight .........it's just a stress free Everton win. Breathe a sigh of relief. Move on. Up The Toffees......

Pretty sure Newcastle and Leeds would prefer us to win tonight.
