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

[Mat70s]

Not losing. Still in this.

 

[Igrok]

Only thing that matters is the result.

Three points will settle matters down.

Come on, Chris Wood...

 

[PhilM]

62% possession, 1 shot on target, I suppose possession means nothing though when you have 10 crabs out there.

The back room staff will be creaming their pants as we have came to the lofty Burnley and 'dominated' possession. Goals? Nah! Shot on target? Overrated.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

It's why we always play everything out wide! Gylfi doesn't want to pick the ball up off our midfielders like any half decent 10 is expected to do.

And people moaned when Fat Sam did the same thing.

Nbc sports doing a nice piece on big dunc

 

[Billefc]

Well... center backs have been solid

Got all excited there, misread at n thought you said sold!

 

[Sy-]

Their fans are asleep, they can't string two passes together, what exactly are we waiting for?

Need a reshuffle up front asap because that cheat Barnes is going to con the ref into something significant at some point.

 

[Azza]

Glad I'm not watching today.

Not able to break down a team that loves to defend was never going to go well.

62% possession, 1 shot on target, I suppose possession means nothing though when you have 10 crabs out there.

Least we've had one shot.

Yep,watching that lol

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Okay, watch the second half and count how many times Gylfi picks the ball off, or even makes himself available for a pass, from Delph or Schneiderlin.

Literally just did that for a half, got ignored at least 3 times in great pockets on the edge of the box.

It's also very hard to be available for passes from two players who refuse to move pass the halfway line or pass in any direction other than out to the wings, slowly.

 

[ADT]

And people moaned when Fat Sam did the same thing.

But people are moaning about both and rightly so

 

[Everton1970]

I'm guessing Villa have a scouting network - unlike us

We have one if the best DOFs in the business though.

 

[Tin-Tin]

How come Villa have found a striker in that Wesley and we have been looking for years to find one

Him or Haller would have suited our style at the moment of just getting the ball wide and throwing crosses in. What is the style of play supposed to be?

 

[BigBlueConk]

Gylfi. A 20M player who came with a 40M price tag.
Shows glimpses of genius, scores a worldy a season.
Not a lot else. A luxury player almost in our set up.
Spurs sold him for 8M. Swansea still laugh at us to this day, for him and Williams.
Good player when the team is on form.
Not a good player when you need somebody to get hold of a game and boss it.

Signed at a time when we were over-flowing with number tens and none prem quality.
