Match Thread Everton vs Burnley - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Tin-Tin]

I know he’s scored but DCL is getting worse and worse on the ball as the season goes on

Him and Richarlison both have so many loose touches its unreal

 

[BlueToff]

Defence and midfield is. The shape and personnel don’t suit.

Exactly.

I'm sick of seeing it and sick of the mad shouts for it. It's dreadful - the way we play it at least - and there's a reason hardly any PL teams have used it.

The last to do it was Spurs under Poch for a few games in 2019, and they actually had the personnel to suit. No surprise we've now switched to 4-4-2, but our midfielders are still all over the shop.

Get Gylfi on for Gomes. Go 4-2-3-1. We need that solidity. Rich can still get inside from the left.

Diamond's getting ragged everywhere.

 

[Encoder]

Good luck Joao

 

[Bluejay]

Why soooooo much room in front of the back 4!!! Every time!

 

[gonetomorrow]

Good keeper.

 

[Milkman]

Chris Wood is better than all of our strikers.

Nice of them to roll one right at Virginia to get him settled in

Good save by Virginia. Shine young man!

only us could have Brexit fc suddenly turn into a free flowing football side against us

 

[LocalNative]

We are incredibly open at the back. Midfield been really, really poor.

Th

When have Burnley ever played like this?!

They have it in their locker, remember them doing Liverpool at times. We should still be a level above though

 

[JohnRoss23]

Burnley is playing the game of their lives..

You've now made this point about 58 times today.

We've only got 2 defensive mids on, what do you expect?
