I wish it worked like that otherwise we would have won at Stamford bridge by now in the league since 1994

Tarky is due a goal.

I just cannot stomach both Mykolenko AND O'Brien as full backs Due to complete lack of options, I would move Garner to right back in place for Rohl. Garner will be better equipped to support Dibling on the overlap too.

I want to see some more balance to the side and start these bench bit part players like Rohl, Dibling and potentially Patterson.

I would support McNeil back on the left too because let's face it we have nowhere else to play him and Alcaraz just isn't my cup of tea. Moving McNeil to the left will finally give Grealish a go in the No 10 role I think he will be perfect for.

Barry HAS to take his chances here because he will get them v Burnley.

Moyes will never do this because he does trust his squad but injuries and AFCON means he had to and given our lack of goals in the squad he had to try something new.

Tim - Rohl - Grealish
Never played a game together and you want that as the CM.

Pawson is the referee which skews the game massively towards Burnley.

His dislike of Everton is well known, hence the catalogue of dodgy decisions and I’m surprised we haven’t requested his removal from our games.

Our record with him in charge:

Played 30
Won 6
Drew 8
Lost 16

The situation is pretty grim. The referee doesn’t seem to be on our side, and with so many players absent we can’t even put out a starting XI where every position is properly covered at Premier League level. O’Brien is a centre-back, not a full-back. But we can’t move Garner there either, because then we’d be left short in midfield.

The striker situation is a real mess, but I’d still give Beto a chance now. There’s not much to come off the bench. Röhl and Dibling just aren’t ready for men’s football yet.

All things considered, i’d probably take a draw.

@GrandOldTeam we may have hit upon a great new business model here to rip people off continue to provide top quality content.

No absolutely not. By and large we didn’t deserve to get beat by Arsenal last week. We can beat Burnley.

I does have a habit of working when a team is due a win, a clean sheet or a player is long over due a goal playing against us.

With all due respect that could be Lampard’s record for his last 30 games

They should definitely raise this with PGMOL even the dogs in the street know there is an issue.

Absolutely madness, we matched the best team in the league with a depleted squad yet you want a draw against one of the worst in the league. No doubt if we draw, you’d be back on slating the manager.

This forum is madness.

Don’t get me wrong, of course I’m hoping for a win. And I’m not having a go at Moyes, he’s clearly doing the best he can with the squad he’s got available. But as for the last game, Arsenal scored early and then did the minimum needed to see it out. We never really created that much danger at any point.

We are playing a team that have conceded 35 goals aleeady this season on Saturday. Arsenal had conceded 10. We should be able to create a good few more chances.

Absolutely not. All this talk of Garner at right back has to stop.

He is a centre midfielder. He is a very good centre midfielder. Play him in his best position of centre midfield.
