[Eggsyblueskin]

I fully expect to win this.
No excuses,
If we can’t beat Burnley at Goodison, it’s time to change the manager.
1-0

Am I right in thinking Kompany won't be on the sideline after getting sent off against Chelsea?

The FA announced on Wednesday that the Burnley boss has been charged with improper conduct.

A statement read: “It is alleged that the manager’s language and/or behaviour around the 40th minute was improper and/or abusive and/or insulting towards a match official and/or questioned their integrity.”

Kompany has until 6pm on Friday, April 5 to respond to the charge.



Nothing confirmed as yet.

We’ll beat Burnley… then PL will take 4 pts away

Weatherman says blowing a gale on Saturday afternoon. If Dyche is going to stick with wellying the ball in the air we might want to change our walk out music for this one from Z Cars to the Benny Hill music to get them in the mood.

We're going to smash someone this season. It could well be these.

A Gale has helped us with hoofball before



Still managed to lose though

High press their back line and see Kompany's proper potato head held in his shovel hands when it third goes in

Not winning this should mean auto relegation tbh. A game of this magnitude, against an utterly crap opposition, us with a fully fit squad, at home. No excuses whatsoever.

…..we struggle to breakdown teams who sit in and defend deep against us at Goodison, that’s my fear here. We could do with a couple of scruffy goals.

Why would they sit and defend deep?

This is also now a must win for them.

We struggle to play football, concede on average 2 goals per game and have very bad tactics

That is my fear

I remember from the league cup game earlier in the season, although Kompany rotated most of his squad, there were a couple of times starting from their goal kicks where they were able to cut right through us with short, quick passes.
Potentially they could sit in deep against us but be much more effective moving the ball up field than Dyche’s long ball approach

Exactly. Lose this and it's all over.

I think majority of teams have been able to cut through us, and likely every other team has a much more effective moving of the ball than the dinosaurs approach.

However, they will have to do more than this and come out and play against us on Saturday... They have 21 points to play for.

Surely at home, with the fans, and with the team (albeit bad), we are better than and will have too much for Burnley at the weekend!

Draw and it's all over!
