Match Thread Burnley V Everton preview thread/match day thread

Just watched these now and although it'll be tough for completely different reasons to yesterday I think we can and will win. Early goal will be key for us, to get them out playing, they conceded early in the 2nd half today and had a mini collapse after that.

I hope Baines comes back, along with Barkley.

It's a big game IMO, it's not likely all the top 5 will win, so win it and we can go into the West Ham and Chelsea games holding a place in the top 4, before yet another international break.

Should be a win if we turn up. Would be nice to get back on the winning tack again. 3-1 Blues.

 

[BlueLlama]

The most tedious team in the league.

What? Again??

Sake.

Nope we Burnley on Sat, then W Ham H, and Chelsea A before the next break.

Controversial.

I'd rather watch Burnley than Hull, mainly because Burnley's much closer though.

 

[larbert toffee]

Watched bits of their game today,they were absolutely woeful and their defence was a joke.They will surely be better at home but if we can't beat the present Burnley team we're in trouble 2-0 with ease.

Yep, my bad

The WC qualies take 2 years, and they play what, 12 or 14 games. And we have 3 breaks before we play that many in one season..

Only cause for concern is that two of the top form teams in the country have really struggled playing them at Turf Moor this season, Arsenal got very lucky with their goal and they beat the RS.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

I always try and be level headed with predictions vs the top teams. But any team in the bottom half I'm extremely fickle and expect to win home and away.

Therefore anything less than a 3-0 win, then

Just 10 qualifiers. It's far too drawn out. Not sure for other teams but Northern Ireland only have one qualifier in November but then we've Croatia in a friendly the midweek. I'll go and enjoy the game like, but it's not necessary at all.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Yep, my bad

Goat was better at this than you. I can think of no worse insult.

 

[Zezti]

Barkley hat rick.
Clean sheet.
Rom to miss a pen and we all rage that Baines didn't take it.

That's fair, the thread itself was more a deflection tactic than anything.
