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

[Ring master]

I actually think we may sneak this 2-1

 

[Curtis]

Wish we sold JJK to Burnley last season then we'd have a better chance of winning this game

 

[GoldenToffee]

Isnt aaron lennon 5'5? lol I guess it's still plausible with our shambolic defense

Thought more like 5'2 to be honest but he'll still be like a man mountain tonight against our little scaredy cats in defence.

 

[Chegsy]

Didn’t even know they had Norwich at the weekend. At Norwich though so wouldn’t say that’s a given for them. Either way we can’t take the chance. Need to win for me. Win and we are 6 away from Watford and 7 from Burnley. I think we can also take something from the United game. It’s a make or break week. If we drop into the bottom 3 I can’t see us having the fight to claw out.

If we can take 3pts tonight and 1pt vs United then were one foot forwards into safety.

Going to give it a miss again I think. Means potentially missing out on some euphoria like Iwobi's goal, but that's the way it is.

Even though I'm largely numbed to the disappointment and sheer frustration, getting a fresh dose of it is something else entirely. My mental health has not been great for a while.

I turned off alerts on my phone so at most I'll catch updates from the BBC page or end up turning Sky on at about 9:50 or so, for the result.

If it turns out I missed a win, then that's great, and if not, then I haven't spent 2 hours hovering between outright rage and outright apathy.

I do care, but I can't stand the sight of them.

Mate, I am going through a bad time for a few months. I have retired since December, but I think the damage was done over the previous four years with a horrible manager.

I agree that Everton are not good for the mood, and haven't been for years. Yet I absolutely love this Club. I will watch this evening and applaud our brilliant heroic away support.

I just expect another kick in my stomach. DV I am wrong.

Would snap your hand off for a draw, just don't lose blues

 

[wiggum23]

Dreams don't come true mate. If they did, I'd be coming home and enjoying my life as a time share husband on weekdays to Olga Kurylenko, Gal Gadot, Alison Brie, Mila Kunis and Rihanna, leaving the weekends free to play call of duty.

Haha, your dreams are better than mine mate !

a draw would be a win!

 

[Pejic300]

Aaron Lennon thunderous header to win it for them.

From the halfway line. In the 98th minute. Assist by Mike Dean.

You can take that to the bank.

I’ve been there with this team most of the season since Watford 2-5 that was so horrifying it kept me away next few games , Just feel so disengaged with these players this board , I just want a thriving EFC not this version which I utterly detest

 

[sheedys left foot]

Surely it's gotta be Mykolenko at left back, surely...

Ok maybe not, because Frank sees Kenny as the second coming of Roberto Carlos, somehow.

The only thing I can say about those is that Coleman is capable of pulling a performance out of his arse still, Holgate is better (still bad) when he's not alongside Keane, and rather Godfrey than Keane playing. Kenny, I have no defence for him at all. The mind boggles as to how he continues to play.

The aim of the game will be to stop Burnley from crossing the ball. Based on what we’ve seen so far lampard rates Kenny’s defensive ability.

I’m dreading set pieces

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Unless Branthwaite plays you have got to fancy Burnley for a couple of set piece goals against our less than towering CB's. The question is do we have the cojones to match that by keeping the ball on the ground? MacNeil is due a worldie too.

I could see us losing tonight then beating United at the weekend and they lose to Norwich.

@Toast How's that for a terrible at the bookies?
