Match Thread Burnley 0-0 Everton. Sat December 27th. 3pm

[lungo]

Not often both team cancel each other out through sheer awfulness

the Everton forwards are from another universe! Some amateur clubs here in luxembourg have better players upfront.

I've been thinking of binning off Premier League footie to watch lower league stuff, and this has definitely given me an idea of the kind of game I'll be seeing

 

[irishtony1878]

If only we had a striker on the bench whos good at wining the ball in the air

We could have prime Dixie Dean and he wouldn't score a goal with the crosses we put in.

 

[MACCA75]

Have Match Of The Day ever flat out refused to show a game at all?

Pretty sure we drew 0-0 at Sheff Utd once and they didn’t show anything..

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Out XG-ed by Burnley by a factor of 3:1.

 

[Tipp blue]

So does this mean we'll be on last on match of the day?

Potentially going to be the first game ever not to feature on MOTD, there has not been a highlight yet.

 

[the golden visionary]

Ive just lost my head over that.

Big buffoon goes and loose the ball straight after as well

It was nice untill he lost it tho

 

[Street end man]

Yes we've big players missing but how TF does that stop todays side from even getting the basics right?

 

[Pootsy]

This is sucking the life out of me, and not in a good way...

Attempting to abstain from alcohol for a day or two over Christmas. This match is challenging my abstinence

 

[mceverton]

Alcaraz making the simple, complicated

 

[Bwana]

Reckon they're are all still p****d

Buzz wearing off second half. Expecting some punches to be thrown.

No. Wait.

It was done already.

 

[Nymzee]

Quite convinced you’re not legally allowed to call that football.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Two poor sides…
Beto, Myko, McNeill = not great
Alcaraz hasn’t been good.
Missing 3 of our best players and it shows.

 

[pfim]

Might be the worst half of football I’ve seen in a long time. They should hand out the Sean Dyche Memorial Trophy after this one, though there would need to be two trophies I guess as there’s a 99% chance this ends on a 0-0 draw

 

[PeregrineT]

Well that was really poor. Burnley playing at the level the have all season.

This is the type of match Alcaraz ends up scoring the goal. Personally Id love to see Dibling off the mark since this is evidence of how badly we need SOMEONE to step up during AFCon.
