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

[GwladysBlue]

Delph or Carlo?

Or both....

Both

Can someone just smash Tim Sherwood and spray his nose across his face. I can't stand the little rat

 

[roy vernon]

Not st all happy with that team, but, I trust Carlo knows better than me. The thought of Delph at left wing back terrifies me.

Once again no pace on the bench, why no Gordon or Nkounkou? Plus, why did we bring Olsen in if Lossl is going to be on the bench?

 

[GwladysBlue]

No, trying to beat Burnley

Not hard, this season.

We've been mediocre for too many matches in a row now. This is a must win if we have any pretences of "top 6"

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

Too true this!

Really disappointed that the kids don’t get more of a look. I’d rather see Nku or Gordon struggle than see players on the downside of their careers struggle. Brathwaite had a few bad errors when he played after the restart but he put in a good shift and it was exciting.

We need bodies, especially young bodies, as depth in this congested season. Get them some playing time. If not against Burnley, when FFS?

Oh what's that? Jay Rodriguez has 0 goals this season?

Que surprise!

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!

If you did do it then the best thing to do is put the game on just as it kicks - off because all you will hear in the lead up to kick - off is the presenters trying their best to bring the RS into the conversation. We've already had the girl going on about how she lives in Liverpool and how we are living in their shadow, and how exciting it is to be a RS supporter etc.

 

[ToffeeTim]

You have to battle hard in these games so we need much more fight than last week

 

[Aberblue]

Oh what's that? Jay Rodriguez has 0 goals this season?

Que surprise!

We all know what will happen today, then.

As opposed to your life generally... Or making you generally miserable all the time... You're dead right though!

Que surprise!

Burnley as a team have only scored 4 goals in their 9 games this season.

 

[Parker]

All im hoping is that McManaman isn't commentating. Be arsed starting my weekend with that spaniel looking tit.

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.

Ok I’d say he’s an ok midfielder and I wouldn’t mind him in a 3 with Allan & Doucoure see how he does as opposed to last season playing in a 2 man midfield with Sigurdsson or Gomes.

He’s just not a left back and shouldn’t be getting shoe horned out there just because he’s more ‘experienced’. The lad has no pace about him, he’s slow to react and is prone to giving silly fouls away. I can’t help but feel the lads legs will fold underneath him the minute he ventures a yard into the oppositions half. He’s the least person you want playing in that position, especially with the way we play.

God help us when starts there next weekend against Chelsea’s decent wingers.
