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

[Toffee in Jandals]

Gueye for Siggy second half for me. We were losing control of the midfield towards the end of the first half

 

[PhilRegan]

We were defending like it's 1-0 in the 90th minute for pretty much the whole time after Burnley scored. It is quite worrying.

 

[everton1953]

We've been quite strangely average. Yet went 3-0 up.

If Burnley come out firing second half they could easily win this still.

Yep, keep your hopes up.

 

[blue to the bone]

Bernard has been our brightest in attack?

He was also down injured and looked like he was coming off.
Is it worth aggravating an injury. If its OK then take off someone else.
It's about protecting a lead now

 

[sageyefc]

If only he could score a football goal then he’d be a decent striker.

If only he could pass a ball and not fall down every five minutes

 

[sbbefc]

Is this your first season watching English football?

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.

 

[evertonarntwe]

Any decent team in the prem goes 3-0 up that early they make the rest of the game easy and just pick the team off. We just make it so awkward and hard for ourselves it's really baffling. Done the exact same vs Bournemouth

These are a truly horrific side as well

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Oh come on. We already had 3 goals so the "joke" didn't work.

I’m drinking. You could have given me a sympathy laugh.

Season of goodwill indeed...

 

[Kantareller]

If it's 2-3 then it will be a clown fiesta

 

[E_Xander_10]

Worrying. Absolutely no control of that game in the last 10 minutes of the half. Not one player willing to put their foot on it and take the sting out of the game. If I were Silva I would be laying into them over it.

If they get the next goal I don´t think we win this game. The mentality of the team is rotten.

They’re searching for redemption. Let them have a go at it

There’s another half mate to go yet aye...

 

[deipnosophist]

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 struggle to keep possession...perhaps they should practise passing a bit more in their FF drills

We need to come out and play like it´s 0-0

 

[WA Toffee]

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

 

[Thuder]

Just got back from work, what have I missed? How are we playing?
