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

We'll go 1-0 up, Pickford will make an asinine error then we'll end up losing

 

[Igrok]

No wins in December..

 

[Zatara]

do you see a style that silva is trying implement zatman?

Yep, but he needs to get his own players in.

Not much you can do with substandard players...

Theres 2 schools of though:

The Carragher view which is that managers should adapt the system to the players

The Neville view which is that players should adapt to the managers system or be sold.

I go with the Neville view

So kick-off at 4am my time then. *Sets alarm for 3am so can get a solid hour's drinking in before the game starts*.

Or stay up late and have 16 hours of solid drinking beforehand?

I’m going to intentionally undercook the turkey so I’m on the bog for the entirety of this thoroughly demoralising nightmare.

 

[Bkk Andy]

can our defense cope with an ariel onslaught for 90 mins ??

it will mean coleman actually defending the crosses coming in.... and pickstock not flapping and getting in the way

I'd rather play Kenny at this point. At least he might get better.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Nah, we’ve gone from a confident team to one that looks scared of its own shadow.

These will sit deep and allow us to have the ball knowing we’ll do little damage. Just like Palace and Newcastle

They’ll be hitting the ground anywhere near our box to force free kicks and try and get a corner at every opportunity. Chris Wood will hit Pickford at every chance he gets

This will finish 2-1 or 3-1 to Burnley

You've absolutely nailed their tactics.

 

[Cels]

A very winnable game this one. We're looking at a team going through a bit of a bad patch and showing a bit of poor form, their confidence is a little low and they are easily rattled... anyway that's enough about Everton. Never thought I'd be saying this about playing a club in the bottom three this season, but... I'm not overly confident, however, it's a game we should win.

Burnley 2 Everton 3

..... Depends on how quickly I can guzzle a 1.25L bottle of bleach, I guess

Will be at work and spared the first crap 45

 

[Igrok]

Burnley is overdue a good performance at home...this is the one...

 

[Zatara]

who are the substandard players?? he has 6 of his own …

Who are those 6 ?

I think he wanted Digne, Richarlison, Mina and Gomes.

Zouma is on loan and theres not been a rumbling about wanting him permanently...stop gap perhaps?

Bernard may have been a free short term stop gap signing to sell at a profit.


I think weve got 3 players permanently that he wanted. Digne, Mina and Richarlison.

Either way, even if he wanted all 6 thats not even half a team and theres still HALF A TEAM of players who need to be recycled.

One of those scrappy games it’s always grim down at Burnley, serious this and laughable but I’d take a draw now, same against Brighton and try get a side that is difficult to beat firstly before we play Leicester at home ...
