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

[roy vernon]

I know we can't question Carlo but...
Plays 3 at the back when the players are not suited to it.
Played two midfielders as wing backs.
Plays an injury prone midfielder who's legs have gone as a wing back and has no left back to cover for the almost inevitable injury he suffers.
Has no.pace on the bench when he has Gordon and Nkounkou available for selection.
And finally and most disturbingly brings on Tosun once again.
Sorry, but Carlo is costing us points here.

Utter rubbish - good job Delph went off .. getting fed up Carlos crap formations.......we are beat before we run out .......good job Delph had to come off........
Carlo needs a shake up bis subs were awful too.......

 

[kev101]

Carlo just gets good players in and tells them to go out and do what they do, if that doesn't work he's clueless.. more if a scout than a manager

 

[TheBigIguana]

No chance it's going to be us

I wouldn't say it is 0

 

[Hickson9]

Shocking crossing from Iwobi at the end fhere.

Generally poor overall.

No more 3 at the back please.

Richarlison needs to get his act together, has been average since he came back into the team. Doucoure was also poor today.

The lack of Digne overlapping really hindered Richarlison today

 

[blue to the bone]

He is good when their players are tired but he doesn’t help us enough defensively for me and that is an area we are struggling at the minute.

I don’t doubt his ability, I just think we could try and time it more effectively.

He is the only one that would have created that chance though.
We need him on the pitch as much as possible and need to stick to a system that plays to his strengths.

 

[Lloydystark]

Basic passing and iwobis final delivery was shocking. Only got to watch 55 minutes and it was abit of a bore from what I saw. Big save by Pickers in 2nd half

 

[Tubey]

Bottom half by new year...

 

[Parker]

We are severely missing Digne for his width. Godfrey was good today, defensively. But he is not a wingback . This lack of width restricts Richarlisons ability to support DCL because he is tasked with keeping the width. We need to play a left back at left back. Nkounkou starts today, I think we win that.

Also bin off the 5 back, it ain't working.

 

[NorthernBlue]

I think we can safely say a finish of between 12th and 15th is on the cards. Miles off the likes of Liverpool, City, Spurs, Chelsea and Leicester. Comfortably worse than Wolves, United and Southampton, and over the course of a season can see Leeds, Arsenal and West Ham fight for more points than us.

Yep 12th-15th for us. Nailed on for me. It’s Silva all over again this. One point from Southampton, Newcastle, Leeds and Burnley is shocking but that’s how we’ve been for seasons now. Nothing changes.

 

[Davidoff]

We’ve got the attacking prowess of an Allardyce team, the defensive stability of a Martinez team, and the enthusiasm of a Koeman team

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Bottom half by new year...

World class manager doh
World class DOF doh

 

[johnjoeefc]

Thats it, I now support west ham with Moyesy

I genuinely feel the same. I'm livid we didn't get moyes when he was available. Madness considering what he did with us with no money

 

[miami]

Another wonder game from our 100 million brazilian.....

 

[UltraVires]

He is the only one that would have created that chance though.
We need him on the pitch as much as possible and need to stick to a system that plays to his strengths.

i am not sure we have the players to play a system that does suit him though unfortunately.
