Match Thread Burnley v Everton. Sunday Dec 26th. 3pm

[ToffeeDan]

So, do we have an approximate team anyone can identify (including walking wounded)?

Anthony Taylor reffing as well, well at least he isn't useless.

 

[Joey66]

DCL may have to play...,

 

[Steve EFC]

Probably not the end of the world if he’s forced to field the youngsters!!!

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Burnley sound ok going by Dyche, no one in the 1st team has virus, other than a few elsewhere

Virus FC will have infected the Burnley grocks by dinnertime Boxing Day

Yea wouldn’t that be ironic. Burnley will return 5 positives and all of a sudden the game will be off.

 

[Gaffa]

We have 9 outfield and 3 keepers available, who exactly we can’t even know.

Why do you want the game to be on?

Funnily enough because I like watching Everton. All teams have problems. The numbers are not a true fact as Sims Branthwaite Gordon and Dobbin are also available

All these managers and players are whinging enough. They get paid fortunes yet are constantly moaning about having to actually play. You didn’t hear any of this nonsense in the 80s

 

[Gaffa]

So it’s the same squad as Chelsea…minus another five players…plus DCL?

I mean I know it’s horrible…but it’s going to be an ‘interesting watch’…

Delph gray Rondon tosun Allan Coleman all were unavailable for Chelsea so they are either in the numbers or ready to return. The numbers don’t add up to what Benitez is saying

I am wondering why all those clubs have U-23 teams , what a waste

Rafael?

Rafael?

Thought it was an action shot of me at first mate...

 

[Bluestar]

Why?? Must win game and the same after that against Newcastle. No excuses valid for me against this calibre of opposition.

We all want them to win, but eleven players missing is going to have a massive impact. It is going to make getting any sort of result extremely difficult / impossible. Surely you acknowledge the predicament?

In reality, the game should be called off, but it’s not because we’re Everton.

There wasn’t a world destroying virus in the 80s, there’s zero justification for letting one club have their game pulled while denying another for the same reasons

Zero consistency in the decision making process - if we had pulled a united and shut down FF we would have been allowed to postpone, but as we didn't, no we have to play?

Why can't all clubs use U23 players then? There's no logic to it, unless there is bias.

Zero integrity in this campaign, it's another * whoever wins it. Feel for any clubs relegated this season also, it's a joke how the whole mess has been handled.
