Match Thread Burnley v Everton, Saturday 3rd March 2018

[LiamG]

It doesn't matter what team he plays. We are setup to park the bus and hit long diagonal balls in the hope of winning the second ball.

Nice finish by Tosun. In a team that actually attempts to play football I think he would do well.

Still nice to winning away from home for a change.

Defo need another goal here

 

[Albro]

Mori is way better than Keane. Is actually quick and physical. Tends to win aerials.

On the ball they're both poor. But defending comes first and Mori eats Keane alive.

It should be Holgate and Mori at CB.

 

[Prevenger17]

I don't know what DCL does

 

[TyphooToffee]

I’m pretty sure we are not getting 3 points like.

That's the spirit

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Need a second goal right off the bat.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

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.

And a new manager.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Should have had two more. Need to make the right decisions in the second half.

 

[RomanReigns]

Imagine lookman on the left

Vlasic instead of Davies

And a new left back

 

[banno]

We need to be able to knit passes together in the midfield and start to dominate and I believe Vlasic would have suited it perfectly. I just cannot see a player in Davies at the moment.

Tosun when he has been involved and brought into the game has looked useful. Theo as dangerous as he is has fluffed his lines on a couple of occasions but is a must stay on. Our defence apart from Coleman are too slack and panicky. Siggy is looking the part

 

[Siggy]

Tosun played some nice balls there.
Ok overall performance,need to keep the ball more, and help coco against Lenon.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Bolasie or Niasse on early in second half.

 

[Jb90efc]

We create most of our own problems defensively by being so deep every time the opposition have the ball.

 

[bluestevon]

Keane giving me jitters here. Martina playing well, Walcott playing well but just hasn't got the finish. Can see a goal for Burnley if we don't tighten up

Prev mate, they've had about 6 decent chances and all from balls played in from their right side, they've targeted Martina and are getting joy doing so as well.

Keane giving me jitters too, as for Williams - only notice him after they have had a chance doing his best Phil Neville captain point expression

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Actually a decent half, but I don't trust our centre backs to keep a clean sheet given the amount of crosses allowed to be put in from our left.

Walcott needs to be more clinical but he's dangerous still, and Sig and Tosun look good. DCL is doing nothing and should be replaced. Get the useless Bolasie on after 60 minutes because at least he should have some pace and can get us up the field, thus pushing Burnley back.

No doubt Schneiderlin will come on after 65 minutes at 1:0, then we'll concede shortly after and it'll either end 1:1 or we'll lose 2:1 down to a negative mindset by the manager.
