Whilst bad, think those stats are a little bit unfair to Burnley. They’re a long ball team so from passes completed down they’re never going to rank highly there.

True, but still, if we don't pick up 3 points tonight its a catastrophe.

And will batter us.

It is but our stats in the league are like 20th so it's horrid vs horrid.

Keep saying draws wouldn't be a disaster. Amazing the low number of them we have had and it could well be costly.

I'd accept a point tonight gladly. It would be another game done, the gap maintained, and dropped home points for Burnley.

It's the biggest game for us since Coventry 98. We have to get something.

 

[coollino]

they've won about 10 games in this thread, no one will believe that

 

[bcblue1878]

Sorry, but against this particular Everton side those stats mean absolutely nothing! This game tonight is as much if not more about character and bottle and we have very little of either!

1-2 to Everton ! COYB

 

[nsno-chris]

Burnley are absolutely awful, one of the worst sides I’ve seen in a long time.

They defo beat us tonight though

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

This is a strange assertion if nothing else, as they are going around smacking everyone left right and centre.

Quote me at the end of the season, in trying to go for everything they will get nothing. (well no more)

Sadly, ours have neither character nor bottle and are sleepwalking into the Championship.

All irrelevant since Possession is "calculated" on the number of passes.. so you can have the ball a lot longer than the opponent, time-wise, but do less passing with it.

If you aren't convinced compare the "Possession percentage" with the number of passes.

Repeated for Information

For those who didn't know the score Frank Lampard called out the PL over the fixture disadvantage we have had.. Well here it is - Premier League opposition only

Away games (19 league and 1 FAC)

More Prep Time 2 (drew at United)
Equal Prep Time 6 (won at Brighton, drew at Leeds)
Less Prep Time 12 (results so far: 7 defeats 1 draw at Chelsea)

Home (19 plus one 1 FAC)
More 7 plus Leicester = 8 (3 wins)
Equal 6 plus Chelsea and Palace= 8 (4 wins, 1 in the FAC)
Less 2 plus Man Utd and Brentford = 4 (lost to Liverpool and Watford)

Results with More Prep time 3-2-3
Results with Equal Prep time 5-1-5
Results with Less Prep time 0-1-9

Remaining Fixtures
More Prep 1
Equal Prep 3
Less Prep 6

In Premier League - More 9 plus 1 to come, Equal 10 plus 3 to come - Less 9 and 6 to come (10-13-15)
