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

[NathDogg]

Gotta watch the burnley Rodriguez today - keep him quiet lads.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

No he’s worse lol

Each to their own like, but Delph isn’t as bad a player as people make out in my opinion. I mean I don’t really warm to him and think he was a terrible signing but he’s better than Davies, Gomes (Post injury) and Sigurdsson in the middle I think.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Looking at the bench, no fullbacks again so can’t go to a back four even if we want to later in the game. Jon joe Kenny might not be good enough but really don’t think Carlo’s given him a proper chance.

 

[The Binman]

We’ll batter these 3-0....

We really won't...

As if we won't concede

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Godfrey should have been dropped, not Holgate.

Its slightly better that we have a naturally left sided player on the left, but its still Fabian Delph.

The reality is we have no option i particularly like at left back and the squad is very short of fullbacks. You have to ask why after 3 years with Marcel Brands.

Holgate just hasn't looked 100% fit, we rushed him back against Man U and it's backfired.

 

[TyphooToffee]

I thought about changing my Sky Sports package to include BT Sport but then thought how bad I would feel on top of a bad performance or a loss after I'd committed myself to an even bigger monthly bill!

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

We’ll batter these 3-0....

I fancy us to get a few, they will score though so I'm going 3-1.

 

[Parker]

Let's hope the referee will do his job and protec...

Nah I can't even finish that sentence, Rodriguez and Richarlison to get lumps kicked out of them for 90 minutes and Burnley to receive 1 booking.

 

[navidson]

Love the early Saturday kickoff - means that Everton ruin your entire weekend rather than just a portion of it

 

[Mikey O]

Hugely disappointed not to see Niels or Gordon involved in the team/squad. A usual snore as Everton play at walking pace with Delph taking absolutely no chances of going forward with the ball nor playing any sort of incisive passes.

Everton tactics will be to play for the draw, hold the ball in our own half for as long as possible until Keane is required to hoof it long to DCL. Hames will be clattered several times with his back to the defender before trying cross-field passes to Richie. Richie will do his best to carry the team by defending for Delph and attacking from a standing start with three Burnley players surrounding him.

Yes Blues I am dreading watching this game.

Please surprise me - COYB

 

[BlueDraka]

Its all ok. When Delph gets injured we have Tom to come on and shore up the left side and provide the left side attacking threat

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Fully expecting to concede 2 again today despite Burnley only scoring 4 so far all season.

 

[RomanReigns]

He’s not you know

He literally passed the ball to a Leeds player in his own third under no pressure last week

 

[heatmeiser]

This is the type of game where you would expect James to turn it on because he will get space all over the gaff.

Really? I would imagine the one thing Burnley will make sure of, is that he gets no space at all and a few kickings to boot

 

[pablo315]

Mate you sound like you get your info from fifa.

Wtf is xg

Some bell of a Leeds fan was on last week spouting some nonsense aba xg so am guessing this is the same helmet under a different name
