Match Thread Everton v Burnley KO 14:15 Sunday 1 October

One defensive mid please. Actually think playing two is ineffective in 90% of games anyway as it invites your opponent to come at you more, rather than you playing on the front foot. He's not dropping Rooney or Sigurdsson so I'd be happy enough with:

Pickford
Kenny Holgate Keane Baines
Davies Schneiderlin
Rooney Gylfi Vlasic
DCL

Win here, 3 points off 4th and things start to look better. Still early days.

Will be really tough game though. 1-0 blues

Yeah, I mean we've had a terrible start, but with two mins to go of that limossol game we'd win every game we should have. The problem was not picking up the odd draw and win in the games where we shouldn't.we're still the only team not to lose to man city, it must be noted.

Trying to look at the positives ha

Is grey, raining and Everton are playing Burnley. Doesn’t take a genius to work out the results

Agree with the suggested formation, maybe with Niasse and Lookman as potential subs later in the game.

Is Keane definitely fit today?

Exactly mate. Until we go 1-0 down!

On my way up.

COYB, win please - this cost too much money.

I’d have Sean Dyche if we go proper pear shaped, NEA

DCL

VLASIC SIGGY LOOKMAN

DAVIES SNIDEY

Dyche has done an incredible job cementing Burnley as a premier league team. It'd be interesting to see how he did with some better players and some money to spend but I'd rather give an Unsworth/Ferguson duo a crack for the rest of the season.

Pickie? Pls no.
I like the look of the back four though, looks much more solid than normal.

 

[Mr PEN86]

There's pace on that bench, RK just doesn't play them. Mirallas x Lookman have to play some part today if we're to avoid more dissapointment.

No Rooney or Siggy for me.

Like this line up.

Genuinely think we have much more quality than we have shown recently. Pick the right team and the result will come.

Do not start Sandro in front of DCL!

 

[kenada_blue]

Take rooney out and put niase up front with dlc

Take our best player?

 

[mccole]

We have to surely start a 4-4-2 diamond as we finished on Thursday with genuine width and keep the full backs back because we just don't have the balance.

Rooney and DCL up top with Gyfil behind.
