Match Thread Everton V Burnley. Wed Nov 1st. 7:45pm

[LucBesson]

For me this is our most important game of the season.

We really need to build some momentum and form at home. Make Goodison a place teams fear coming and the only way we will do that is with victories.

We're not going to do that by beating Burnley.

Any kids tickets in the lower Glwadys for tonight Nephew wants to come now

We should try and solidify an alternative dominant possession team to the one arguably deployed at West Ham.

 

[Toffeelover]

….surely it’s not a case of either/or. Indeed, there’s an argument that a good cup run gets a team used to winning games and breeds confidence.

It would be nice to get into a run of winning games.

Meaningless this.

Just play a weakened team and hand the result to Burnley.

We might need 50 points just to survive this season and we've only got 10 of them with 10 games played.

jesus christ what an abysmal take.

Not met Dave before?

Realistic take.

If we get a points deduction we'll likely need 50 points this season to stay up...last 2 seasons = 39 and 36 points.

But if you think getting through the next round of a three handled cup is more important than preserving players for the biggest fight in Everton's history, be my guest.

Na.. all in for the cup.. it's been far too long since we won a pot..

 

[tnc85]

Play a strong team but with Beto and Danjuma in the team. Let’s go win this!

Or play the game with the strongest team win it, give us fans something to get excited about, gain momentum and confidence and go into the Brighton game off the back of 2 wins.

This not the right time.

As I said: it could well be we need 50 points this season.

If we start to carry injuries we get nowhere near it.

Fans aren't daft. If we played a weakened team and went out they'd understand.

Preserve our best 11 for the stiff challenge of Brighton...who have no game midweek and can rest up.
