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

[deipnosophist]

The Turf Moor home crowd are very Stoke-like

 

[Wat Tyler]

Bernard has been excellent

 

[PeregrineT]

Clear push in the back and penalty, not called again...

 

[Abraders]

coleman never hit a decent cross in his life? how long you been watching Everton for? he not as good now but he was very good before the leg break, come of ffs

He's never been great at crossing though? He always does the same floater Phil Neville used to do.

 

[Zezti]

That was a blatant push on Keane.

 

[PhilM]

The Turf Moor home crowd are very Stoke-like

The stands are close to the pitch with some steep angles (the away end isn't) so it's quite intense. Add to that, it's on the top of a hill and always bloody cold!

 

[TyphooToffee]

No, I’ve been watching this for over 30 years.
But ok, I’ll be super optimistic, just for you.

I've been watching or over 50 years but I am always optimistic. But thanks for trying

 

[Nymzee]

These are grim to play against.

To be fair, you can actually remember us having some tangible success. Anyone under 40 has had more reasons to be pessimistic than anything else...

 

[Wat Tyler]

Terrible pass

 

[Everton_Gary]

Bernard has been excellent

Don't you know he's too small for the premier league???

 

[No8Bally]

The Turf Moor home crowd are very Stoke-like

They all have one big eyebrow each

 

[KaiserEFC]

These are grim to play against.

The only reason they don’t get red cards is because they share the fouls amongst their entire team

 

[PhilM]

He's never been great at crossing though? He always does the same floater Phil Neville used to do.

Seamus had the pace and acceleration (explosiveness) to be able to beat a man and get to the byline where he'd either pull it back or dink it in, as you mention.

Now, he has lost that pace and explosiveness so is more reliant on actually having to cross traditionally, which highlights how he is lacking in this area.
