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

Unless for some reason a number of players are struggling with fitness, there is absolutely no need to make any changes to the side.

Now I personally would prefer to see George over McNeil due to his pace, I won't argue if Dwight starts again.

Defensively it would be completely ridiculous to break up that back four — the best teams traditionally don't constantly arse around with their defenders.

Same XI, send them out to attack and and we get our best result of the season.

I'm fully aware we're more likely to end up losing 1-0 like.

Last chance saloon tonight,home form is diabolical and next two here are Chelsea and City, so it's now or never to end this run of 1 win in 10 here.

I genuinely think Moyes knows he is under pressure to perform at home and we will go out to smash these tonight. Hoping the lineup reflects that, no square pegs round holes business etc. Anyway, 5-0 to us.

 

[Walter Ego]

Has the team been leaked?

 

[Kirkles]

He should play Mcneil and Patterson as full backs tonight, obviously won't though.

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

McNeil could have stepped out after max 1hr. Gassed.

Harrison on sooner, plus Adam. Stretch these all over the place. Illy to run riot.

Agree up until we crock one of our proper CBs by playing three of them the whole time.

Happy to see Patterson in on this basis, but he's gotta gallop down that line and get some decent balls in.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Think we’ll win tonight…

 

[Bayboy]

Incredible numbers of resale tickets available. Every stand available and 3 or 4 seated together in most areas.

 

[blue in oxford]

I think a win tonight is a must for the teams mental attitude with a big 2 home games next both winnable if we can get the monkey off the shoulder
Same team please

 

[Kendal]

I think we will play well whatever team is selected and will win 3-0 , another pint of lager please

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

So you're saying recently promoted Sunderland were able to bum them at home.

Sooner or later Moyes is going to need to prove that he has the ability to win these type of games at home.

We have one single injury in the entire squad — there is no excuse not to win tonight with relative ease.

Grealish, Alcaraz and Coleman

@chicoazul

Please bring a glow to the forum and find us a leaked Teamsheet..

A lot of petty squabbling today, we need something..

 

[GoldenToffee]

Grealish, Alcaraz and Coleman

One key player, one who never plays and is backup anyway, one who was finished half a decade ago.

We've got the fittest squad in the league, by number of injuries to important players anyway.

Might not win tonight but we'll win one of them games.
