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

TBF, Id have a corner flag in goal before that 'kin divvy.

 

[Berenger]

People fuming about five at the back. It’ll be three at the back if we play well and have more of the ball. We need to find the right solution and I can see why he is going for this one.

What happend to Ademola?

No one knows mate, rumours were that he had some sort of bug.

Disgusting playing 5 at the back, hopefully we go in at half time not getting beat.

We shipped 6 in our last match so why is it disgusting. That 5 will turn to a 3 when attacking and also allows for better cover for the full backs and CM if they go awol again. We will get an arial bombardment so I believe 3 CB's is a decent call

Yet another manager throwing players and systems around , preying to get lucky and hit on a winning combination. Absolutely clueless this fella.

 

[PhilM]

Bit disappointed with the system, albeit it should be good enough - on paper - to get the points against this side.

Any particular reason why Richarlison has been dropped? I suspect it's a mixture of tactical and fatigue, but he's one of our most threatening players.

Yeah looks like it

 

[Axlswhk]

Very timid line up.

For goodness sake man / woman, 3 (not 5) is an OFFENSIVE system!

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Just out of interest, what’s Burnley’s record PL win...?

 

[blue61]

Dont sit right with me tho having our top scorer sitting on the bench.
And we deffo need goals.
Cant score from the sidelines.

Fair enough, but as a team we need to stop conceding at the moment, which requires effort from everyone. He can score as a late sub with something to prove hopefully.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I do love the "Heroes" video they play pre match at Burnley. Very cool to see a club embrace it's history like that

 

[blue to the bone]

Walcott is terrible.

God is good

he'll be on final 30mins to win it...


I still have not gotten a clear answer from anyone against the 3 CBs starting XI..... who would you play in place of Gana in the DEFENSIVE mid role? Surely, you wouldn't play with only two CBs and no true defensive mid (Davies/Morgan/Gomes don't fit that role) after what happened vs. Spurs?

I'm not the biggest fan of the 3 CBs, but what alternative do we have for today? That is the question. Let's hear it....
