1st half very good; 2nd half appalling.

what? , apart from 10-15 minutes we were controlling the game and getting in behind them regularly but lacked final ball

Where's Jags going? Sheffield United? Or down a division?

 

[joebocop]

Has schneiderlin played himself into being a very viable back up option for next season.

These are words I never thought I would be writing.

Silva has played a blinder with him.

 

[TheNinja]

1st half very good; 2nd half appalling.

We completely dropped off and stopped pressing high.

Deserved the applause did Jags.

Agreed fantastic service been a good captain, like Bainsey deserved a trophy. Anyway another clean sheet getting to be a very nice habit. Difference between our defence first and second half of the season is night and day.

 

[banno]

Good win. I honestly thought Burnley would get at least 1 goal from a cross but we dealt very well. Went scrappy but at least it was scrappy when we were sitting on a 2 goal lead which doesn't become too much of a concern. Wow and another clean sheet which is a bonus.

We were clueless mate. Lost count of the number of misplaced passes.

 

[tnc85]

A top striker and couple more quality players and we can challenge the top 4.

 

[TyphooToffee]

1st half very good; 2nd half appalling.

Overall though, excellent.

 

[LocalNative]

Goodison was sick tonight. Everyone on the ale early doors and what an atmosphere.

 

[banno]

We completely dropped off and stopped pressing high.

Sitting on a 2 goal lead it is expected. If we went gunho and conceded then all hell would have broken out on here. Good win.

 

[davek]

We completely dropped off and stopped pressing high.

No aggression or guile without Richarlison.

Some say we didn't need a striker in January though.

First half did what we needed to do against a team that defends/sits deep, cross and shoot. Second half did what we needed to do against a team that comes at us trying to get back in the game. Top performance.
