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

Go behind / batter them / grim 1-1 draw.... First game in a long time I won't watch... ... Can't be bothered tbh...

You've absolutely nailed their tactics.

They may well sit back an let us have the ball, but I think with it, they'll try an score from open play and won't just rely on trying to win free kicks.

Burnley had never won from going behind in the premiership (53 games) and also hadn't won for 12 games before facing us at home last year. They will face us definitely believing this is a good chance for 3 points.

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.

You are terrible at math.

11/2 = 5.5

6 > 5.5

Therefore, 6 is more than half a team.

Probably no Gana or Gomes so our midfield will be worse than yesterday. So would just start with Snide . Play Siggs and Bernard in front of him and same front 3 as yesterday. The defence should be Kenny,Keane,Mina and Digne .The bench should be full of U23s .

Is bangiman still m.i.a? If gueye and Gomes miss out I'd sooner see him play than Davies and schneirderlin, he can at least move around quicker than a glacier and tackle

10 at the back. Try and grind out a draw from a mid table dog fight

back on track game

3-1 win COYB !

Can’t be any worse than last Boxing Day 0-0 draw with West Brom... Can it?!

If we lose, then yes it can. When a team is in desperate need of a win (like Burnley are) then there's no better team to play than Everton.

Can't see us winning this one. They will be fighting for their lives and we can't find an opening against teams that drop deep, so a boring draw it is.

 

[Mozza1987]

Massive game this. Really need to get back to winning ways fast.

Lone striker vokes will still bag 3 headed goals

 

[Tipp blue]

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*.

You're going to need more than an hour I'd suggest not going to bed at all get a solid 20 hours in and then hopefully you wont remember watching the game. JK drink responsibly.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I'm fully expecting Gilfi to score again. We'll hold on for the win thanks to a motm performance from Jordan 'hold my crack pipe, I've got this ' Pickford.
