Match Thread Everton V Burnley. Wed Nov 1st. 7:45pm

Personally thought the entire second half was pretty flat until the last 10 mins when they seemed to realise Burnley were gash.

Whole match was flat. I would take them every day as long as it was a positive result

Glad we're finally finding some form, but Christ we are dreadful to watch.

Premier League safety is much more important to me than the league cup ?

So we cant do both then???

Burnley will be lucky to get to 15 points. Most of the teams in the PL would be more than happy for them to have the ball so much and pick them off on the counter. The teams that would dominate them in possession are teams like City or Brighton who could put 5 or 6 past them.

Well we put 3 against them. Nice team to watch but no penetration at all and I think Kompany is only a few tweaks away from having them competing for mid-table

Was interesting seeing Kompany try and implement Man City’s style of play with players of league 1 and 2 quality

They don’t have a decent striker. No one will respect their ability to play through the lines because the attacks go nowhere

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Port Vale at home please

 

[stamullenblue]

Hate to jinx things but were starting to look like a good team

 

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

3-0 into the next round

get Newcastle and Arsenal out and it’s anyone’s

Called it.

Well nearly.

I would prioritise one over the other

I thought the game lacked energy from both teams, glad some others noticed.

Really, really comfortable win. At no point did i think we'd concede. Not an A* performance but a solid B and good for it to be comfortable and not waste much energy.

To be fair, he’s succeeded. Without all the goals and wins, mind you.

Once Everton has sacked you....

Would have been nice to see Dobbin get a longer run out

I think he was a cert to come on as soon as we got a 3rd. Unfortunately we didnt get a third much earlier.
