Match Thread Burnley V Everton preview thread/match day thread

Damage was done in the first half.

We did enough to win that in the end, but gave ourselves a lot to do, coming from behind against these, in 45 mins.

As for the winner, that's football. We'll see some of them go our way yet.

The slide to mid table begins. Losing touch with the top, drawing with Burnley and Crystal Palace, Everton that.

Bolasie class. But A LOT of passengers out there today.

 

[Kantareller]

Jags needs a kick up his arse.

 

[Jags..class]

Jesus the season not over.

 

[BlueToff]

And that's why our season is over. We've cemented our status as also-rans. In October.

Tubey, our aim this season is to finish in the European Spots. We're currently sixth. Our season isn't over, so stop pedalling tosh, ey?

Was a baffling one, I'll acknowledge that.

Whole team failed to show up today, though. Bad all-round.

He needs to change it big style for West Ham.

Can't play Valencia obviously but needs to go with two up top at the least.

No he doesn't, because it doesn't matter. The season is now effectively pointless beyond what also-ran position we finish.

Season over. In october. Take a long look at yourself Moshiri, Kenwright and Koeman. We are mediocrity defined. We are going nowhere. We are horrible to watch. We are absolutely numbing to support.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Honeymoon period definitely over. Huge job for Koeman here. There's a mentality ingrained in the club for close on 20 years that he has to try and eradicate.

 

[Peter The Dog]

we won't beat west ham next week either, totally contrasting results for both of us, and reverse confidence going into the game

Of course we will, we always do.

Disappointing today but no need for a meltdown.

Can guarantee you right now we don't finish in Europe. That's why I'm saying season over. Not a chance.

We're too easily beaten in games like this. Two away losses at Bournemouth and Burnley says it all really. Until we win these types of match on a regular basis, we'll be a team hovering around 7th to 10th. You need to win 3 games in a row a good few times a season to stay right up the league. We've done it once this season. Can't see the next set of games where we'll do it again.

 

[Rook]

We scored more than Spurs and Arsenal combined today!

 

[BlueToff]

Totally dominated the second half. Could easily have had 3 points.

Could have and should have - but we shouldn't be losing that game.

Not because it's Burnley, but because in the manner of how we played. We just didn't want it enough and while things didn't go for us at times, you have to make it happen.
