Match Thread Burnley v Everton - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[JLW]

Keane over Godfrey always. Keane is capable of a great performance at centre half. Godfrey has still not convinced me that he is actually a professional footballer.

This for me i think Keane just has massive brain farts in games but generally he is ok. (Just hope he leaves the brain fart at home for once)

Godfreys performances are just generally poor throughout, he's rash in tackles and positioning is poor.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Interesting one here. Shouldn’t get complacent and ensure we stay as solid and organised as we have been and I’m sure we can get a win.

 

[Lapeno77]

The pressure on Burnley will be unreal. They'll know if they lose this, they will be 8 points behind. And that's after the deduction!!

They'll come flying out of the traps so we'll need to be on it straight away

 

[micknick]

Think he'll go with Keane tbh.

Charlie Taylor is a big miss for them, one of the few players they have with Premier League experience and a decent left back to boot. Need to make sure we attack down the right and test out his replacement.

Bear with me here. After the best week we have had for years and years, this will be a the toughest game yet.

Changes in the side, a lot running on it and Burnley looking on the up. Also looking at the midweek quarter final. Win this and we are GOLDEN

Effectively 9 with our much better goal average.

Cant see them winning 3 more, or 4 or 5 (if we get points back) more games than us with 20 odd games to go. They have won 2 so far. We would take a draw. Pressure is on them!

My XI:

Pickford

Patterson - Tarkowski - Godfrey - Mykolenko

Garner ---------- Onana

Harrison ------ Doucoure ------ McNeil

DCL​

The players have a week now to get a couple days rest & go again. The only real question mark is Godfrey - if it's a straight shootout between him and Keane I'd personally give Godfrey a go. Dyche has been saying on-and-off for weeks now how professional & hard working he's been in training whilst he's been out of the team, so hopefully he sees this as an opportunity for him.

 

[Blue Willy]

would personally go for Keane.

 

[Blue Willy]

Actually Id prefer Coleman ar CB.

Patto — Coleman — Tarkoy — Myko

 

[HTCHERO]

Be happy with a draw as one of the worst CB's is going to have to attempt to play football.

 

[HTCHERO]

Keep that big useless donkey away from the team.

Godfrey and Keane are both donkey's!

 

[Khalekan]

A game that would of course be great to win. But a draw isn't the end of the world. Keeps Burnley well below us if we did

Indeed.

A draw will be of much more use to us than Burnley.

In fact, I would regard this as “must win” if I were a Burnley fan.

 

[HTCHERO]

My worry is this is a game that we will have more of the ball and that doesn't suit our approach as we like to pick teams off.

 

[Pootsy]

The aged Evertonian in me say we will proper Everton this up.

However the team are looking really galvanised and willing to put a shift in for each other which is what we ask for anyone pulling that shirt over their head. Therefore, get at them Everton. 4-0 (DCL(2)/Doucs\Beto)

Oh and I'd prefer Keane over Godfrey. Both are not great at all but one is a rustier bolt than the other, just to refer to an analogy I read earlier.
