Match Thread Everton v Burnley - Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[blue to the bone]

They are the worst side in the division defending set pieces. That could be the key for us. It won't be pretty. But win is all that matters

Patterson should be starting right mid.

 

[Vintage]

They gave him an epidural

 

[blue to the bone]

Knowing how were struggling if I was Ghana I would of insisted on playing. Even if we weren't struggling I would of insisted on playing. Man up and dont be so woke.

Oh boy.

 

[edge]

Wonder what Dyche's tactics will be.

Hoof. Free kick, corners

 

[Toffeeforme]

Oh boy.

Yes I'm waiting

We are at home to Burnley..what T F is the reason for not putting out 2 strikers and just going for it?

Because he plays every game not to get beat or keep it as low scoring as possible. He’s happy with a 1-0 loss.

 

[TyphooToffee]

To to make so many changes shows Dyche hasn't got a clue who his best team is. Leaving both Onana and Gheye
Is a big gamble.

Relax, we'll win this.

We deserve to get all the pensioners next year for da's like you hahahaha

I never said anything about his age….just feel as though he is overrated by a few on here

 

[Vintage]

Nothing but a win is good enough

 

[Tipp blue]

That midfield is a real concern not just for this match but also for the next games if luck isn't on our side which it clearly isn't.
The problem arises from Dyche's stubbornness and inflexibility and the rolebof the 10.
Gomes can't play a full match in this 10 role so he's likely to play CM.
Gomes can't play a full match as a CM in Dyches set up either unless Garner does a shed load of running > which is the greatest concern imo, if Garner gets run into the ground and gets injured were in big do do.
The sensible option is to change the tactics of the midfield and play Gomes 10 - is that something Dyche is capable and willing to do?!

In reality though is there actually a combination of midfielders at the club that wouldn't be a real concern? If I was the manager I'd just keep Garner and get a few young lads from the U21s and let them at it, if nothing else it will give them experience for wherever we may be next year.

I know, we deserve the pensioners who "give their best" and are "available", like Ash today
