Match Thread Everton v Burnley (Fri 20:00) Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[gonetomorrow]

We badly need a striker and a strong character in midfield. To name but two.

 

[Tipp blue]

Jags has been a great player for us - sad that age has caught up with him. What do you think? View attachment 57767

Age caught up with him 5 years ago.

​

And its that time, finally some might say, our final Home game of a very up and down season.

A much improved Burnley visit Goodison Park and 1 time Pop Idol superstar Gravy Dyche brings his team of blockers to test themselves against Marcos banter blues. With hopes of 7th fading fast we need 3 points here to give us even the remotest of chances.

Hopefully extra shooting practice and passing in tight spaces has been on the menu at training at FF.

Suspect Marco might try a little tweak with the team, but im probably wrong.

Goats 11 to start :

CleanSheet
Colio - ZOOMS - Kegerino - Digsy
Ganio - Davio
Ricio - Viking - Bernio
Tosun​

so easy, but if you listened to Sky quite tough. Beyond belief!!

Bit concerned that we haven’t shown Steve Walsh’s crucifixion in the centre circle during this lap of honour???

 

[Blue83]

Good result Morg looked great again, definitely need someone in better than DCL though

I thought we were fantastic, sharp and intelligent.. we played with fluidity and confidence. But for a goalscorer that could have been 4 for or 5.

Strange how at 2-0 down they still seemed far more concerned with not conceding another rather than scoring one of their own.

That’s a feature of Brexit FC, not a bug

He's had a good few games since then, but we do like to slag our own players off don't we mate?

I am not sure why s.l.a.g is a swearword?

 

[marnie]

I love the way,that if we lose the ball we battle the opponents to get it back.So refreshing.

 

[Ducans elbow]

Haha that kid singing then

 

[peteblue]

Disappointed it was only 2-0 tbh......

 

[gonetomorrow]

Great scenes. Contrast to last year.

 

[Bilko]

bit of a training session I thought, hey 3 points is 3 points

 

[PeregrineT]

Another win, another clean sheet. If we could just continue this form throughout next season, we would be top 6. Of course, one would hope we could, and also improve due to a few new players. Our biggest hope is that this form is not just some good luck and confidence, but the results of Silva's training methods and conditioning finally kicking in for the players.

Over the last 10 games, including the Newcastle debacle, we have outscored opponents 16-5, and gotten 20 points, on pace for 76(or third place).
