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

[DanEFC92]

I like Davies

 

[sageyefc]

Glad to see Bernard back in though, think we play better when he plays

 

[blulouie]

No Richarlison big call to leave him out.


Tosun

Lookman

 

[blueconverse]

If gana is not 100% a back 3 makes sense. Also these are gonna try and long ball us. The koeman shouts can gtf

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Davies is terrible

Walcott is terrible.

 

[Berenger]

Reading on twitter and here, fans are having that typical baby out with bathwater reaction after a poor run of form. “Win at all costs” etc. Forget performance. Scrappy win.

Absolutely not! We are a decent team and should just continue to play the style that has served us fairly well (while obviously looking to correct errors from previous matches). We don’t need a wholesale philosophy review. Guardiola didn’t change his style when Koeman bummed him 4-0. We just need to keep our heads and play our game. The team has the quality to beat Burnley and we are on the right track.

I see Davies as backup to Gomes. To come in when Gomes is unable to play.

I see him as a starter, just not for Everton, Celtic, Rangers or a championship side is his level.

 

[PeregrineT]

Um, why do we have both Gueye and Davies on the bench?

 

[blue61]

No Richarlison big call to leave him out.


Tosun

Lookman

He's been worse than poor lately, needs a kick up the rear.

 

[Azza]

More like a gentle jog

I bet him and DCL do some park runs.

 

[COYBL25]

No tosun either

No Tosun, no Lookman and no Schneiderfraud.

Three out and three in.

Don't mind that team me. Minas height needed against these yard dogs. Richarlison hasn't looked great last few games unsurprisingly given he's been playing every single weeek

 

[davek]

It's a disgrace that Pickford keeps his place. At least three of the 6 conceded against Spurs were down to him, and he was lucky not to have a straight red...lucky for him, that is, I'd rather he received it and was out for three games.

Not massively sold on the XI but maybe that’s natural pessimism talking...

Totally agree re Richarlison, though, and actually gives me a bit of hope in Marco that he’d make that call. He’s obviously not quite as bloody-minded as he might seem at times.

Squad rotation at Christmas time and people are surprised ? Strange that.
