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

[Zezti]

I'd bring Jags back in for this one.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

I think we'll pummel these.

Burnley 1-3 Everton

That's the spirit Dave,Forza davek

Burnley really aren't that good, and I expect a massive reaction from us.

I'd be amazed if we dont put an energetic perfomance in here and defiantly hit back. Those players will be glad of the opportunity to hammer out a message so soon after yesterday's collapse.

Two clear goal win here.

Only change I would make from the above is Theo out, Lookman in.

I read a lot here, but rarely post... and yes, I realize I have an unpopular username. Davies has struggled, but he's very young still. Not time yet to give up on him in my view. Anyway, here a coupe of random thoughts:


- dropping Mina was a huge mistake. One bad game and he's dropped? What????? Keane was horrible, he should be dropped (and hopefully for good). Mina-Zouma pairing for me.

- Gana was missed. I'm not a fan of his AT ALL, but he's our only true defensive mid. Playing without a defensive mid is not smart. In my view, we should upgrade from Gana in next transfer window... but until then, he's got to play (unfortunately).

- Theo, despite the goal, has struggled a lot. He just doesn't offer much does he? I don't get why others don't get a real chance ahead of him, mainly Lookman. Strange to me.

- Pickford.... that's twice now. Of course we stick with him, no doubt there... but he needs to sort it out!

- Seamus has disappointed, we need more from him. This is obvious, as is that we need to look for a replacement in the next window.

- Siggy has played well for most of this season. I am not sure why he gets so much criticism on here. Last season, sure... but this one?

I hope we sign a defender called Morris in January, so we can have Morris-Mina at the back.

Quite scared that Gomes and Gana will both miss this.

Playing without a midfield will be rough.

Maybe Mina can play in there ?

Oh God, hes gonna play Baines there.

I wonder if Mina could do a 'Mick Lyons' and help us out at Centre Forward for a few games?

 

[Death]

If then game was worth 12 points I'd be consider being up for it.

He could deffo do a job up there lol

If you were going to pick any team to lose your midfield against, Burnley will probably be it. They don't exactly play through midfield so even players like Schneirdrerlin, Davies and McCarthy (whoever he goes for) shouldn't exactly get swamped in there.

Andre is such a loss though, the improvements he made to us are massive. And as we saw against Spurs, Davies is not a patch on Gana right now.

McCarthy? Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Izzy1878]

Dyche has been feeling the pressure lately and he's morphing into Allardyce with the bollocks he's been coming out with. If we don't beat these long ball swivelling grocks then I give up.

 

[Ring master]

For once,instead of teams doing things v us,we can do it to them,bit surprised we are the 1st though

Everton are one goal short of becoming the first club to score 7,000 top-flight goals

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Schneiderlin will likely be starting this, prepare yourselves. Some rotation in the forward positions also likely.

Should still have enough to win it although Burnley have improved recently. 1-1 then.
