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

[Tubey]

Was it really some ball from Siggy tho? I thought it was just a basic ball what any number 10 should be playing but I suppose we are starved of through balls.

Was tremendous - perfect timing and weight on it, right into the run with Richarlison having to break a stride.

Wasn't even the obvious pass as the obvious one was the other side of the centre-half.

Credit where it's due.

Hopefully this can kickstart a good run, cba with seeing teams like Watford, wolves and Bournemouth above us

My lad was screaming "what a ball" I thought it was just a good pass myself.

3-0 loss coming up. Silva sacked in the summer.

Errr........

 

[captainvindaloo]

Great response!

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Playing relegation-threatened teams away from home may suit us. They need the three points and will push up, opening up the spaces for us on the counter.

We struggle more at home against the likes of Burnley who are happy enough with an away draw and park the bus.

Credit to the manager. Had the bottle to change it up and give us a great boxing day. Up the toffees.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Sigurdsson has restored some of his reputation after that.

Come on you blues

Hard to vote against Bernard for MOTM but it was Digne all day long.

 

[Abraders]

I'd like to say Bernard but realistically it has to be Digne? He's outstanding and has been pretty darn consistent for us so far.

Keep improving lad

 

[Everton_Gary]

Went for Digne because of the goals but Bernard was a close second in my book.

Well well well good response. Lets hope a harsh lesson has been heeded from the Spurs match. Praise for Silva playing 3 CB's and totally justified in his decision and vilified by quite a lot on here. It was Burnley FFS we needed 3 CBs and the coped admirably. The CBs won most of the headers.

That was a team performance today with everyone working there socks off and Digne is a special player for us now.

We’ve still clearly got some work to do, especially in defending, but it is rather encouraging that we have a variety of ways to score now including set pieces.
