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

It would be completely baffling as the guy has done nothing to merit being in the squad, never mind starting in one of the most important roles in the starting xi. Needs shipping out ASAP.

He does.

The mad thing is if he wanted to show that he can play in that No.10 position then today would be his lucky day if Sigurdsson is ruled out (most likely).

If Carlo doesn’t put him there today after his outburst then it’s telling.

I,d like to see us have a less defensive shape today. Go for goals and worry less about the back door.

I'd like to see us batter them 6-2 just for once instead of trying to carve out yet another 1-0 win

Hopefully with Allan & Davies in the middle we’ll be able to play at a higher tempo and get a hold of the ball a lot more. I don’t hold much hope for Gomes though. Hopefully Coleman comes back in to give us more balance and an option from the right which we haven’t had for a while.

Pickford
Coleman - Keane - Mina - Digne
Allan - Davies
Iwobi
King - DCL - Rico

That will be the side, stand on me.

Wouldn’t be against this at all.

Iwobi here you go son want to play number 10 here’s your chance

Sooner play Bernard there. Iwobi deserves nothing for what he's contributed since playing for us.

No Gomes or Iwobi for me please. If we want to actually win this we need to play the ball forward and to players that don't run into cul de sacs instantly losing possession.

Just hoping King gets a start as I think we'd really benefit from this signing working out. One less thing to do in the summer.

 

[Ring master]

Lets hope the crazy wind die's down for this game, as may suit Burnley a lot more than us

 

[UptheTofees]

Any news on who is out for sure?

James??

James
Doucoure
Delph
Sigurdsson (likely)

Man for man we are better than these all over the park.

2-0 win
DCL
Richarlison

Thought the same against West Ham, Leeds, Newcastle, Fulham.

Unfortunately with Everton it doesn't quite work like that.

King. DCL. Richarlison

Sig and Godfrey have played a lot of footy. Keep them on the bench and fresh for the quarter final. It’s time for King to play, he won’t get many chances so he has to take it

Pickford
Coleman - Keane - Mina - Digne

It looks balanced. May even offer a bit on the right.
Iwobi could do well in that position.

 

[Sharpattack]

If Gomes and Iwobi play I’d grab a 1-1 and run like a thief.
