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

[lungo]

3-1 up at half time, yet some are still expecting us to lose

Normal no. Even at 5:0 it isnt won with Everton . With the likes of Keane Coleman DCL and Pickford in the team every thing can happen!

Behave mate. Ffs

Yeah, no way we’ll score again.

 

[WA Toffee]

How simple can it be, your 3-1 up, just keep hold of the ball and knock it around, not keep giving it back to the opposition.

We did until it was 3-0, they scored and then started pressing a lot harder. We put ourselves under pressure a bit until we got to grips with it. We then changed our game to counter it. We are very comfortable, and are going to score at least 2 more.

That might include me!

You're not alone.

Ha true. Just seems to me that a few seasons ago there seemed to be a few more upsets and that the gap has widened.

Think it just gets bigger and bigger each season mate. Sometimes wonder why I bother when we have nothing to play for every season.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Damn to the hell I had 0-4 in my bet

 

[nsno-chris]

3 up after 20 mins and still look like we could lost this

Midfield needs gana, Gylfi is a passenger as per usual and Bambi couldn't hold up a paper bag never mind our forward line

Getthe Prince on

Silva knows what he's doing, he just doesn't have many options. Gomes has been horrible and if we don't figure out a way to get whoever is tackling Pickford off of him on corners, they will score again.

Would be SOOOOO nice for us to just play our guys into space and bury these clowns. There is TONs of room on the pitch for us to play behind them. I would like to see another central mid and just play with two strikers. 5-3-2 would be fine. Two defensive mids and a pivot - Siggy playing balls behind the defense for DCL and Walcott to run on to. But if Gana isn't healthy, I don't know who the heck it would be. I don't trust Davies back there. Baines? Can you imagine?

This is got new years day v Wimbledon 97 ish about it

 

[blue to the bone]

Two deadballs. We are drawing the open play.

Do the deadballs not count them
Thats a shame

I´d say the gap between us and Burnley is probably similar to the gap between us and Spurs. On Sunday they went in 3-1 up at half time and ended up winning 6-2. Let´s see how we do in a similar circumstance today.

Very little to do with ability and everything to do with mentality.

It's the hope that kills you mate.

In general goals after you're already winning don't count for toffee. So it's actually 1-1.

I think that's how it works.

Two deadballs. We are drawing the open play.

But we're 2-0 up in the deadball play. Every cloud.
