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

[RomanReigns]

The team is let down by the selfishness of individuals

Why are people voting virginia MOM lol

He did more good than anyone else perhaps?

 

[LEONARD]

I've had enough of Everton for today.

I'm off for a good laugh in the political threads.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Delighted for Virginia.
He did very well.

Made a bit of mess where he came out to punch it and basically missed (when he and Godfrey clattered), other than that it was as much as we could hope for from a 3rd choice 20 y/o who couldn’t get off the bench at Reading.....

I suspect all we will get out of this season will be the hoping toward another big summer of recruitment.

PS: I too am doing some planting next Saturday and like you am hoping the fields are arable

I was aiming for "a result" but arable works with all the digging out and manure we've seen.

Come on boys one more round. Let's get a result against the best team in the country.

The only positive

I thought Allan did a lovely pass in the first half (around the 23rd minute , if you are looking for highlights).

Should of made iwobi do an interview about how comfortable he was in his preferred position.

 

[marsh]

Just beat them you utter shitbags, close on Chelsea and go further ahead of Spurs, West Ham, Liverpool before they play.

Too much pressure was it on poor little Everton

Nothing new in pointing out the lack of pace in midfield and the side to side passing, one of the outcomes of that is by the time the ball is released to the flanks, the opposition have slid at least 2 players across to further blunt our attack. As has been said on here, we are relying on 2 players to create and score goals to win games which is not sustainable.

We can all point to the reasons mainly due to very poor recruitment in the past. Even for a manager as good as Carlo, a further 2 windows appear to be the minimum required to overcome the years of mismanagement.

Posted this in an attempt to make me feel better but still feel like a bear with a sore head.

 

[BlueToff]

Brutal

I said back in December how worried I was by our second half performances from an attacking perspective

the drop off is scary

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

If we want to play Champions League we need Champikns league level players. Only players we have of that ilk at the moment are Pickford, Digne, Keane, Godfrey, Mina, Doucoure, Richarlison and James.

I agree with you sentiment but 3 names you listed are a 'no' from me.

I was not.

Booooooo

 

[Jamo Martinez]

The desire isn't there against teams like Burnley, Fulham etc. but they'll be up for next week against City. That mentality is what's letting us down at home, they think they can turn up and the likes of Fulham and Burnley will roll over. Saying that, if DCL's control had been better today he'd have scored a hat trick.

What on earth could have led them to think that?

In fact, after the experiences they've had with these type of teams, they'd have to be really, really stupid to think that

When ever there a meaning behind the game we go to pot.
