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

[Dario Terracotta]

Pretty routine win

 

[evertonarntwe]

Morgan mom by a mile. Absolutely quality from start to finish. You know what made up for him. Is that 4 clean sheets in his last 4 starts?

 

[marmor]

Why has sky got two massive Evertonians as pundits? Bit unfair on Burnley tbh.

Walters plays for Burnley. Think he may be out of contract this summer.

 

[BlueToff]

Has much as I don’t rate DCL, Silva’s answer about respecting him and Cenk was pure class

Think the only time Walters really went up the wrong way was when he was banging on about DCL not scoring goals (think it was to Jagielka).

Good to see Jags kind of just point out that atm we're a far better team with DCL in it because of how well he's playing in every other area.

We definitely need a striker, but I liked that all the players pointed out just how well DCL is doing in that role as well, and the manager of course.

He retired few months ago

 

[ToffeeTim]

A pretty comfortable win where we played for really only half an hour. I'm not dreading next season now which is great.

Were we any good? Got dragged to Avengers. Again.

I would say defo very good for 1st 20 or so mins,droped down a level till ht but Burnley were not in it all all 1st half,2nd half not really up to what we have been playing like,but picked up again the last 5 or so mins of the 2nd half-keane was probably pretty lucky not to conceed a pen with around 10-15mins left

 

[RomanReigns]

since the 3rd March 2019 our home form has been superb

whilst it might only be 2 months of football in reality its probably the best set of results at home we have had a in a long long time, beating the likes of arsenal, chelsea and man utd at home without conceding a single goal and also keeping a clean sheet and getting a point against one of the most prolific liverpool sides who have more than 90 points this season.

 

[RomanReigns]

we got behind burnley's back line on so many occasions

2-0 flattered them could have been 4 or 5 if some of our crosses had a bit more quality

 

[RomanReigns]

schneiderlin was dominant as well

he looked so comfortable out there winning balls back for us

there is no chance we are selling him, the likes of besic and mccarthy are going before he ever does

 

[windymiller]

Zouma for me. After the first 20 mins we were weirdly passive and needed to defend well to deal with Burnley's bouncing bomb approach to football. The defence (and Schneiderlin amazingly) were rock solid.

Schneiderlin is playing for the shop window.

Was like watching Barca 11/12 for 45 minutes then Everton 18/19 pre-March reared their head for 10 minutes before post-March Everton killed things off.

We were never in danger at all.

I really struggled to pick out a MoM because there wasn't a poor performance from anyone. I've gone for Gylfi, but Morgan Schneids was solid, Idrissa as always, Seamus scored a centre forward's goal, Zouma solid, Keane "Imperious ", and DCL working his socks off as ever. Well done the Blues.
