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

[KaiserEFC]

I'm not a fan either mate but take into account the midfield 2 aren't exactly the type to be defensive and the fact we've just been mulleres 6-2 I would love a clean sheet and a 1-0 win today

We never ever get a clean sheet when we play a defence like that though?

 

[maccavennie]

Burnley will throw plenty of balls ino the box so it makes sense to go with Mina's height. Also Zoumas strength and pace.

Just need our players to actually mark their players and we should be sound

 

[Groucho]

Nice 5 at the back against Burnley losing the plot this fella stinks of koeman.

I’ve no issues with that team.

 

[tadpole]

The awful back 3/5 that we have never ever won with against the mighty Burnley lollollol

Nothing screams desperation quite like that team.

This. Looks increasingly like Silva doesn't know what he's doing. Calvert Lewin as main striker ? Sigurdsson as DM ? Give us a break.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

That line up is absolute aids. Queue awful boxing day to follow a crappy Christmas. Not impressed.

 

[Azza]

Hahaha. Glad I can't watch this.

Like I said mate I ain't a fan, I just think we are limited in the middle of the park and that's the made the decision a bit easier for him to go with 3.

Maybe today is the first time we get a clean sheet with 3 at the back lol

Exactly, if Schneiderlin isn’t good enough to cover an injury then frankly why is he still at the club?

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

This XI just looks like a massive roll of the dice by Marco.

I don’t get Walcott in a team with a back 3; surely Coleman provides the width on that side? Rather see a narrow front 3 with Siggy, Bernard and DCL, and put Davies in CM.

 

[Saint Domingo]

If Gueye is fit enough for the bench he should be playing.

 

[Khalekan]

I have just noticed, not only do we have three centre backs on the pitch, Jags is on the bench

If I may ask...

who is our alternative for Gana, to play the DEFENSIVE mid role?

I don't see one in the team....

and don't kill me for this, but I wish we had Besic in the squad for that reason alone. When Gana is out, so he can come in to provide defensive help in mid.
