Match Thread Burnley 0-0 Everton. Sat December 27th. 3pm

[NeilMorepies]

A very unlikely scenario I grant you, BUT -
If it's 0-0 and we get a 'last kick of the game' penalty against Burnley, who's taking it?

Give it to Airwolf, he’s our best striker by far.

Think got a 0 - 0 boring draw and a nailed on last feature on Match of the Day.

0-0? Really? I don't either of these two teams are likely to keep clean sheets very often.

 

[WA Toffee]

4-1 win for us I reckon

 

[Eggs]

….given the narrow defeat against Arsenal, I suspect it’ll be the same starting X1. Difficult game, especially when we look so impotent in the top third without Ndiaye and KDH.

Maybe Beto will be considered, I fear we’ll need 2 goals but I doubt we’ll get them.

 

[GoldenToffee]

We best bum these, as they are crap. I fear a draw though.

A draw isn't good enough, so for that reason I would be putting Garner at right back and Roehl at centre midfield. Going to be angry when McNeil is once again starting on the right - surely you at least give The Vicar 75 minutes against terrible opposition to show if he's capable of anything, or at least show the fans he's somehow a worse option than McNeil.

I want this, but won't get it. Beto for Barry as he's proven that he's absolutely whack and once again it's probably time to give the other guy a go.

Pickford
Garner-Tarkowski-Keane-Mykolenko
Iroegbunam-Roehl
Dibling-Alcaraz-Grealish
Beto​

BOTH teams can't score goals tho!

You honestly think he will start McNeil again?

 

[UltraVires]

I think he goes the same team and I would probably say that’s fair enough. Barry deserves a chance against lesser opposition than Arsenal and Chelsea before you consider putting Beto in.

As for McNeil, I think Moyes will see that he might defend better or have more in game know how than Dibling. Given we aren’t free scoring at the best of times then that is a key part of our game plan surely with Dibling last 30 if we need freshening up

0-0 is the scoreline i always think won't happen with us. I think we may sneak it 1-0 myself. cue a 2-2 or some silly score

 

[Gilbert..]

Dont you just hate these. Burnley not won in 2 months.
Everton are coming to town.

Sure @Eggs is David Moyes sometimes can't stand any risk taking, I would like to see Dibling starting against poorer opposition, might just give him the confidence he needs to kick start his Everton career, besides that what has McNeil done that justifies starting the game ? Maybe Dibling will bomb, do all right ? Who knows until we give him a start, these Ambulance chasers might just prove the ideal opportunity for him.

Dibling for a Panenka what could go wrong?

I would genuinely give it to Keane or Pickford over any of the strikers

….i said i expect the same team, I’ve also posted that I’d personally select Dibling. Posting what you expect the team to be is different to posting what you’d prefer the team to be

I just thought McNeil offered little against Arsenal so might as well try Dibling but it’s not a choice I’d die in a ditch over.
