Match Thread Everton 2-0 Burnley - Tue March 3rd. 19.30

[Seathestars]

Constant attack. Go out and beat them and score again and again. First goals for Harrison and a brace for our 'free-scoring' B&B.

I can best describe what the mentality needs to be this way:

I played at an ok standard in my teens with no chance of a living out of it. We won our region's league and were invited to an event run by Norwich City as a shop window for local talent. We scraped by a few games, and then got absolutely crucified by a Nott's Forest junior team. At 7-0 they passed a penalty and back heeled it in. It was brilliant. We even enjoyed socialising with them later, they were great - before they lost in the semis to a Scottish side who's name I can't recall.

Recently, I watched a parent over berate a child in a supermarket for piddling around on a scooter and getting in people's way. It was awkward, people just felt for child who should've been controlled better. Just looked like crappy parenting.

But football isn't like that. The best way I can describe the mentality and how it's respected is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of the supermarket. Keep on dominating the opposition, don't show any compassion. Don't let up... and the better and better you look and the better and better you feel. And the more confident you become and the more you're respected.

This is the harsh reality of sport.

Burnley are down... 'Earn the right' to have a party and absolutely go and smash them.

6-1.

Was it the 'Buckfast All Stars'

Play the same team, if fit, they won’t be tired, we were chilling all game.

I'd hope for at least 2-3 changes from a team away at Newcastle to home at Burnley 3 days later

These are murder. Get into them, blues, and put an end to these awful home performances.

[RomanReigns]

Burnley away goals - 17
Everton home goals - 16

 

[BackRow PE6]

Burnley away goals - 17
Everton home goals - 16

Opportunity to put that right big style

2-3? Like?

Beto for Barry (at home against a deep block, Barry just offers much more in possession)

McNeil for George (just a more attacking change)

I wouldnt hate seeing Gana as a sub instead of starting, maybe for Armstrong, but that's obviously quite a bigger call

I'm not bashing those players, just that two games in 3 days is a big ask and we have the bench to freshen it up at the moment, especially given that the two games are very different prospects generally

Saw that earlier.
Everton have won 7 away
Burnley have won 2 away.
They've scored more than Everton away.
Such a weird stat lol.

 

[Walken]

Big game this, win and we have the home hoodoo ended and can push for Europe, defeat or draw and it's mid table and plans for next season

 

[Runub]

The only thing I am confident about is that this will be a real struggle, win, lose or draw

They must be one of those progressive teams we're always hearing about that attack away from home.

A game Everton should win at home on the back of an excellent away win. We’ve been here before and never quite cracked it this season. I’d like to see the Manager show ability to change approach at home and go for it. There’s tougher games after it so the away set up will be used, this is a game to take it to a poor opposition and help the players get over a mental block at home we can’t allow to turn into a narrative.

Hope Burnley smash us for enhanced forum forum fume opportunities.

Have you no shame
