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

2by the DLC and 1header he missed his that’s 3 he’s had

Mostly half chances.

 

[Vortexgaz]

Bernard class.

Rest of them would struggle to create and score in league one.

Yea gets into good Areas need more from the 2nd half they can’t track him

That was a whole lot better except for that crucial thing called a goal. Be great to get someone in the centre of the park who's first instinct is forwards not backwards

If delph/siggy could turn with the ball rather than one touch back to Mina it would help.

 

[gianthogweed]

Burnley have a game plan park the bus get a late scruffy goal from a corner which will gloss over the other 80 odd minutes of absolute sh!te

 

[carolinablue232]

Get Kean on for DCL, DCL never looks like he has a goal on him. He will probably score now haha.

We know who he is. He’s useful against teams that come at us because he’s willing to battle for long balls and stretch them a bit. Against teams that sit back, he’s pretty much useless.

 

[Lelouch]

All over these Anti Football grocks, Just can't get the ball in the net, It should come hopefully.

 

[Jacob]

Need a goal early 2nd half to force these to open out and leave gaps otherwise itll be tenterhooks later. Siggurdsson again looks really off the pace and resorting to fouls.. hope he makes a liar out of me with a goal.

 

[Milkman]

I'm just happy to see Sigurdsson not hiding from the ball. Carlo knows the more midfielders touch the ball, the better they play.

 

[Sharpattack]

We're always open to afford them a howler. Look at the one missed late on there. We have all the possession but are doing nothing with it

 

[hktoffee]

We need strikers, shock.

We need wingers (not Bernard, Iwobi etc then) who can score when are strikers aren't, shock.
We need a central midfield who can pass the ball forward.

Still - we'll win this an Ancelotti will get us those players.

COYB.

Only Carlo’s first game. We will win this today come on you blues.

 

[Paul Rideout]

These are the teams we struggled against before. At least we’re creating chances and have the ball. Already an improvement but we do need to play quicker.

 

[Vortexgaz]

I'm just happy to see Sigurdsson not hiding from the ball. Carlo knows the more midfielders touch the ball, the better they play.

Needs to sharpen up tho and if he floats 1more corner in god help me

 

[wesh]

Just not enough quality.

DCL, Sigurdsson, Delph - all garbage.

Still appear to be enough to do in this Burnley side though. THIS is where we hope Ancelotti fills the gaps and can inspire this side to pull through. I get it, you can’t fix quality that’s not there, but coaching and tactics are more important to a squad like ours than most.

 

[cronullasharks]

If delph/siggy could turn with the ball rather than one touch back to Mina it would help.

Yep exactly, there's been some good first touch passing then one of them goes back allowing burnley to regroup. Need to get them out of their bus parking comfort zone

 

[okellypj]

Anyone worked out our formation yet?
