Match Thread Burnley v Everton (Saturday 5 December 12:30)

[Sharpies volley]

Game changed when we were forced into the

He couldn't miss that chance ffs. Hes paid to score goals and he has, a tap-in. That was easy but he hasn't done much else. Needs to ruffle a few of their feathers more I believe. But well done on the finish, he got himself into a good position.

Aggree totally mate. That donkey of a centre forward they've got has given both of our centre halves something to think about.

I've said before

but why did we go away from the 433 with Gomes? We did well. Then he did poor in games where both James and Richy were missing and playing further up and we gave up on the 433 with the balanced midfield and kept trying different crap.

Sometimes, we and managers overthink things. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

This! Too much tinkering. Three at the back has killed defensive cohesion, centre midfield getting swamped. We’ve surely seen it enough now to know it’s horrible and doesn’t work. The scary thing is it’s looked diabolical against Fulham, Leeds and Burnley - if he tries to play it next week against Chelsea then it could be a long game. We can still be good with four at the back even if the full backs aren’t first choice. It’s really not been worth unsettling the whole team, has it.

Handball was that?!

 

[Nymzee]

Hate this new offside rule.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Need to go on and win this now

 

[riddick]

What was that whistle for?

 

[Bob Latchford]

As much as I can hate Everton sometimes, my love for Dom is never ending

Will be gutted when he eventually moves on to win stuff

Hopefully not but if he keeps this scoring rate up.... probably.

 

[Cool_Blue]

How the f is the squad so decimated when we've spent 500m? Absolutely pathetic.

And some try and pin this mess on Moshiri. He must be as pissed off as we are.

 

[blue to the bone]

We have to win this now.
We have been shocking but are level.
A bit more intensity and pace to our game we can score a couple more .

 

[Toffeelover]

Why was Iwobi played on left last game then?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Good to see Burnley haven't learned from giving away a goal due to a dive and will continue to do it

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Hate this new offside rule.

Agreed! When we’re not in the ground it’s often difficult to know so the late decision is really frustrating

 

[PhilRegan]

Oh great got the sun and pickford to deal with now

 

[Marius57]

How was anyone offside then?
