Match Thread Burnley v Everton, Saturday 3rd March 2018

Seriously mate, I think it's nailed on he starts.

Absolutely. Allardyce will claim he "went for an attacking line up" last game out and that it didn't work, so he's mixing it back up and putting Schneiderlin back in. The truth is it doesn't matter how many 'attacking' players you include when the tactics are "don't get anywhere near their goal and just make sure the team gets a clean sheet". I'd be extremely surprised if Schneiderlin doesn't start, but will be furious when he is named in the xi.

The gap between our midfield and whoever plays up front is ridiculous, Niasse, Tosun or Lewin, they all end up isolated.

I think the warm weather training in Dubai will kick in for this game and we will run out convincing winners.

Indeed.

Training in the Arabian desert is the perfect preparation for playing a game in Baltic conditions in t’ foothills of Pennines

Heard some people saying the warm weather training helps with muscles etc, surely if one minute you're training in warm weather, then come back and have to train in winter conditions, that can't be that good for you?

Basically this is Steak & Kidney pie v Meat & potato pie.


They haven't won in 12 in all comps...

Perfect opponent for them to break the streak, I bet they can't wait for us to arrive!

Yip.

It makes little or no sense to me.

“warm weather training” is just another name for a jolly.

As GazBaz and his Baggies chums demonstrated so graphically in Barcelona

It's going to be a case of 2 teams parking the bus, so it's going to be down to whoever decides to reverse their bus out the way and have a go, so Burnley it will be then.

Burnley don’t tend to score too many goals.

Burnley 3 Everton 1

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Our defence will part like the Red Sea and Burnley will have a field day.

 

[ADT]

1-0 loss, fat gravy boy to get the sack

 

[blue61]

Schneiderlin on, 1-0 defeat. It's far too predictable.

 

[Brendan Janus]

Peter Noble, 1-0 to The Clarets !!

 

[jaybx1878]
