Match Thread Burnley v Everton, Saturday 3rd March 2018

[heatmeiser]

I had forgotten DCL was playing

That rash challenge has been his only “contribution”

I’m pretty sure a couple of Burnley defenders would disagree with that.

 

[canuckblue]

They are 3 points ahead of us, including this game up to now, they have a -4 GD, we have a -14 GD, so they have a +10 GD on us.

Which gets cut by two goals with every one we score.

Made my dad and brothers to watch the match for a few minutes by telling them "A Turk playing" (they don't know much about football, let alone EPL or Everton) and in 2-3 minutes Tosun hit the amazing header. Lovely haha. What a celebration we had here.

We have to win this match now. Come on lads COYB

I'd rather not personally. Rooney was catastrophic last game and gave the ball away so often, he'd have to play considerably better

He’s normally better than that tbf.

That half went a long way towards demonstrating how we have a decent foundation with our attacking players but require a complete overhaul of the defense. We're very lucky we haven't conceded yet.

 

[Abraders]

Could say the same about any player there. DCL has been poor in many games too. Like any Sub, gotta hope they come on, freshen up and play to their strengths.

True, they've all had their fair share of poor this season - but for me I don't think Rooney is the right man to bring on just now. Perhaps later in the game if we are still clinging or if we go 2 up.

With that said like the other option is Schneids.

The trial and error team selection is working well today... so far...

 

[eurosrees]

take dcl off and get bolasie on

Has DCL been bad enough for people to forget how utterly totally useless Bolassie is?

Lookman would have been perfect for this game.

 

[Efcjake]

Went a bit flat the last ten minutes of that half.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Two poor teams.

Fact we are leading does not hide how poor we are.
Lucky we are against a team as low on confidence as we are.
Balance of play, they will score.

Praying that Pope lets another in...

 

[toffeejack]

love how we're all saying which striker hasn't scored yet, will score v us ... and then our striker who's never scored gets the first goal.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not a very good performance, but if Walcott takes one of those 3 chances we're comfortable. Williams and Keane need to take more responsibility. Coleman very rusty.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Well, we didn't threaten much towards the end of the half. Siggy seems to have disappeared after a strong start.

 

[blue61]

Could have been 3-3 this, I'll be staggered if we keep a clean sheet.

 

[Blue Sky]

Think Cuco has improved a lot , he would now be a very capable right back .
