We played five at the back at home to Burnley in Rafael's last season with us and we played them off the park.

The week I've had not a hope we'll get a good result today

Important to win this tonight. Last season we came back from the first international break and lost two on the bounce.

Why do we get a big injury any time we get momentum

Vital we win today, can't help but still feel it could be a relegation six pointer come the season end - but I say that whilst acknowledging I'm very pessimistic about Everton and football in general at the moment.

For the same reason, I expect a draw today. Everton with any degree of expectation fold easily traditionally.

Newcastle fan obviously.

I would never have noticed!!

5 defenders at home, against a team that is known for being defensive.

He had better know what he is doing.

A good solid line up that. Sad about DCL but if that new found aggression and bite is there again we'll win this. Looks a quick team too. No fears or worries here.

This is more like it

Congratulations...that truly is the most pessimistic post I have seen in a long time

5 at the back at home against Burnley.

Shocking.

you might want to watch the game before saying how bad it is

We????

Newcastle.

Tbh our 'five at the back' wasn't anywhere near as defensive as the connotation. We had two centre-backs (in addition to Lascelles) who were good footballers and one of whom loved to get forward (Schar scored twice in a game against Cardiff). We just needed better wing backs cos Ritchie and Yedlin, as it was at the time, were both limited.

Benitez knows how to set up against teams like Burnley.

Kinell, now we have to deal with horse punchers signing up
