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

“Without our best attackers and midfielder we have no set way to attack and score goals.”

We were like that mostly when we had them!

 

[Neiler]

Dibling was in the 90th minute but could have left him on for injury time
Alcaraz was utterly dreadful.

You take take young players off at the end for the applause from the support.

 

[RomanReigns]

so are we first on motd then?

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I got the impression finishing the game the players and manager were happy to take a point which is the completely wrong mentality playing a team at the bottom. Forest are a much better team and I bet we put in a much better performance. Almost because we have to. That irks me more than the performance today. It’s not a winning mindset.

 

[Joey66]

Well, the point was made with regards to claim it was Burnley's strongest team. I knew they were missing Esteve - who, in my view, is comfortably their best player - I wanted us to sign him in the summer.

Upon then checking they have a few at AFCON too, like Lyle foster, tuanzebe and mejbri. Joe Worrall too and as I say, they have 8 from their squad missing today.

So no, it wasn't Burnley's strongest team.

The commentator stated that both teams had lost players....

 

[Blue Willy]

Can’t believe that pen wasn’t given.

Actually yes I can.

 

[marsh]

That was absolutely awful. Why are our players so slow, not just in running but in possession it's far too slow, easy to defend against, hate when we play like that. Proper annoyed me.

 

[Quadvod]

That front four combined with our full backs, the next few weeks are going to b3 a proper grind

18 goals in 18 league games

Fewest league goals in a season - 27, 1987/8. In the Premier League 34, 2005/6, 2023/4. It's on !

 

[Cels]

It was good to see Nathan Patterson getting a few minutes.

 

[bicycleheader]

And heaven knows we're miserable now

That game doesn't deserve this post of the day

 

[jceverton]

Who knows? If we played the same way as last season perhaps those summer signings all look top notch?

Yeah you're not convincing me tbh. I think Moyes just doesn't want to play that way, but hey I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

His replacement was worse !

Yeah, two headless chicken performances from Rohl but early days.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Didn't think it was a pen.

Just like the ones against Tarkowski and Dewsbury-Hall shouldn't have been

 

[PeregrineT]

Well that was a massive missed opportunity, they are terrible.

But it turns out that if you dont have a very good attack, if you remove your 3 best attackers, you also dont have a good attack.
