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

[peteblue]

We’ll batter these 3-0....

Comfortable win today. Even with that line up.

Leeds and Southampton are all wrong for us. Burnley will sit and allow us to pick them apart and we will.

2-0/3-1.

If we are in the bottom 3 on new years day I will donate 50 quid to a charity of your choice.
If we are not you do likewise .
How about that.

New years doesnt matter. End of season does. And i'm not sure we will be above 14th!

 

[blueconverse]

teams playing for the title and Europe, and teams battling relegation both have relevance. Everton likes to hang about in the irrelevant part of the table...somewhere 13-9th. So I think we'll avoid Europe... and relegation.

Same next season...

....and the one after that

Constant limbo. Honestly think people will start giving up on the club if we manage to still get 9th with Ancelotti and Rodriguez at the club.

I'm responding to the poster who said we will be bottom 3 by new year mate.

Burnley are an aging side, they won't commit players forward, they are second from bottom in the league, they have only scored 4 goals and conceded 17 in 9 games. We've got the quality to get in behind them. Nothing less than a win will do today and if we can't beat them then there is no hope for us.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The most important thing today is we play the ball forward quickly and help DCL. We are not a possession based side and there is no place for sideways passing.

This 343 is absolutely trash unless you have proper fullbacks on the pitch.

Just go back to 433 which had us top of the table ffs.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Maybe but the whole world has seen players like Delph on the actual pitch and know they can't play as a wing-back.

Maybe he's going to be a left back and stay there.

But if you want will have the same deal with you. 14th or worse you donate 50 to a charity of my choice. Any better and you do likewise.
Spread some Christmas cheer !

Bet Rodriguez can’t wait for Delph to make them quick paced overlapping runs ahead of Richarlison that we’ve become accustomed to and which is an integral part in the way we play.

 

[Devanski]

This has got dull written all over it.
Them trying to hoof it into the middle of the box... and us being stifled by an agricultural defence.
Something will give though, I’m, unfortunately, not quite sure who that is.
My optimism of the start of the season is being slowly ripped from me.
Prove me wrong Everton.
COYB... ffs

 

[Jim Hopper]

In all seriousness this is 0-0 all over it.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Delph is just a shocking player

He’s not you know
