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

[Jim Hopper]

For me with a depleted midfield v an average Burnley midfield a long ball game may be needed - & stop the slow build up tippy tappy nonsense as we have not got the skill set with injuries in that department just bombard them with long balls plus plenty of crosses at a faster rate up & at them approach -
COYB if we play the slow build up game it will suit Burnley imo....

Depends on the set up. If we go 433 then at least get it long to the flanks for Richy/King to get on the end of. If we go with the diamond then going long to DCL is playing right into their hands, they’ll just stick Tarkowski on him and he’ll struggle to win much in the air.

Its windy out tonight so imagine it will impact the game.

Gomes starts anyway. On media duties

Gyfli was on media duties a few games ago when he was on the bench.

I do expect Gomes to start, though.

Play a fast tempo - play it long our midfielders can play further up DCL is good in the air plus can hold the ball up otherwise him and Rhico isolated in a slow build up .....

Fancy DCL to score. 3 points any way will do.

Fwiw I think siggy trained fully yday

 

[strummer]

We've scored 7 goals in our last 10 home games. I'd like to see king start the game because our fit midfielders pose very little goal threat

 

[alphabet]

chelsea got a draw.

need big wobes in no 10 spot to reel us in those 3 pts

Too many Blues are too confident here. Never ends well lads lol this is going to be a tough game.

3 points in our last league game before the international break please blues. Get straight at them right from the whistle and please don't make Burnley look like Brazil like you did with Fulham and Newcastle.

COYB's

It's going to be extremely difficult.

It has to be a player in the starting 11.

Since that Spurs game when Burnley rolled over they have been solid.
