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

[OneTrueLegend]

Not a good first half, I don't think the 523 formation really works for us. Hope we take a CB off at half time and either bring on Iwobi to play behind Richarlison or bring on Rondon and play Richarlison just behind him and play our normal 451

A centre half off, 442. Rondon on with Richie having a free role across the front.

benitez work your magic

Needs to be dumbledore there

 

[ForeverEverton]

Just my take but looks alot like all the games we lost at home last season....

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

As it stands they're sneaking a 1-0 win.

Burnley are first to everything.

 

[Yarrgh]

I'm off to join the French Foreign Legion after that. I just want to forget.

Why why why has he chaged the formation from the 1st 3 games? Makes no sense... Unless the thoery is "We`ve done quite well, we need to reign it in a bit"!

Carragher said during the build up that Benitez likes to switch it to 343 against teams like Burnley.

 

[stretford blue]

Thankfully we are still level shocking 1st half formation never works for us
All to play for 2nd half

 

[Death]

Some flashed of promise at the end ofbthe half but need a change.

Think it's more looking at us defensively and adjusting to not having Dom there.

But it is odd as there's not target man for our 4 wide players (2 wingers, 2 wing backs).

Midfield is where its horrible.

 

[Argentina Racing]

Rondon late winner incoming

 

[Lee Smith]

That was woeful from us. Too much respect paid that lot.

The back three looking after just Wood is a waste.

Flat back four and get another striker on to give Richarlison half a chance to shine.

I agree with Dave…..

 

[MrGrumpy]

I thought Carlo left… seems to be the same drab football, our players can’t pass to each other, have no time. Yet the other team have weeks on the ball

 

[sheedys big toe]

Utter utter tosh lack ambition, lack confidence. Let's make some changes. Randon on.

 

[Bluestar]

This is a classic performance a team puts in against us when they desperately need points. Burnley have struggled then pull this out against us as a must win game.

I think that we will have to change the formation and get some more presence in midfield.
