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

[Drico]

You're blessed with this gift tbh.

The pain was too much. I spent years watching us get steadily worse. From the greatness of the 80s side to the mediocrity of the mini-Midgets to Walter's wondrous wasters and on to the inevitable Moyes bottle jobs when a cup would wend its way into view. I can't watch us anymore as it makes me angry. The last player we had that was worth watching was James Rodriguez - and that was on Instagram.

I truly envy you, as I, for some reason, actually watch our games.

It is incredibly bad for your health, if you ever consider watching us - stop. Just start smoking or something, it's healthier.

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Godfrey Mykolenko
Doucoure Iwobi
Gordon Ali Richie
Rondon

That is absolute shocking. What a God awful team. Comically so.

I think we set up pretty much the same as we did against West Ham, the performance was good just a silly mistake cost us.

If VDB if fit then he slots into midfeild and Holgate at the back with Godfrey (terrifying).

Keep the front 3 the same although Gray hasn’t played well since the Arsenal game.

Might be more of a game for Rondon this too tbh (can’t believe I’m saying that)

On the list of things I’m not relishing, an aerial bombardment against Godfrey, Holgate and Pickford is quite high up that list.

Branthwaite?

I actually follow the latest scores and the posts on here during a game. It gives me something to do. But I won't watch us because we are terrible for the old blood pressure. There's at least some entertainment to be had on here watching as people become apoplectic with rage and despair. The humour here compensates. But if I watch the match I know I am wasting my life. No reward, just a bitter waste of time.

I think we might do better with
Pickford
Coleman - Branthwaite - Godfrey - Mykolenko
-Doucoure - Holgate
Gordon - Iwobi - Richarlison
-DCL-

Pickford
Coleman - Branthwaite - Godfrey - Mykolenko

I'd go with this too

Branthwaite?

Don’t think he’ll play.

 

[Lord Byron]

If their only threat is height then surely Begovic for Pickford?

 

[billyblue80]

Don’t think he’ll play.

Probably not he should though I think he should have had more starts since Chelsea myself.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Don’t think he’ll play.

if Mina is fit then he should play but if he is not fit who is the alternative to Branthwaite? if its holgate then that leaves a midfield whole because DVB isn't fit either. its like the 9 square puzzle moving the empty space around....

 

[Petit]

I think we might do better with
Pickford
Coleman - Branthwaite - Godfrey - Mykolenko
-Doucoure - Holgate
Gordon - Iwobi - Richarlison
-DCL-

That looks a bit better.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Humongous game.
