Match Thread Everton v Burnley KO 14:15 Sunday 1 October

Hard game this unless we change are tactics, be happy with 1-0.

Agree. Considering they've drawn away at the RS and Spurs and beaten Chelsea, I'm expecting a difficult game, even if we were in form. As you said would take any type of win.

 

[Walken]

Gana has NEVER played the holding role well, amazed people put him there on his own

 

[Niapper]

Surprised many chose Kenny in their starting 11.
Martina is a better choice given their height differences for the Burnley match

 

[Canuck Darryl]

Would be satisfied grinding out a 1-0 win, but what I really want a see is an entertaining, fast paced, flowing match, with us on the front foot, and solid at the back.

If that happens, I would be overjoyed with a 1-0 win.

We shouldn't be sweating this match but it's because we're playing with no cohesion and with an unbalanced team.

The actual results of most of the thirteen we've played aren't really that surprising, overall, except for the margins of some of them.

It's the fact that we look so bad even when we win that's the worry, and the lack of pace and RK's selection seems to be
the main cause.

I'm hoping for the best, but that's all. Hoping.

LOL THIS MANAGEMENT LARK IS EASY

Good point. Probably the only result I'm surprised with is a home draw v Apollon. Atalanta away I think the general fanbase underestimated them (obvs. We were utter Shoite that day). Most of us would have predicted losses away to Chelski, Man U, home to Spurs, whilst of course hoping for something better.

The way we're playing at the moment though, doesn't leave much cause for optimism even for a home game against Burnley

3 points or i will turn against Koeman. Please Ronnie dont screw this up now. No excuses.

 

[jinkyali]

Today's the day Siggy.

 

[Azza]

Unfortunately I won't be able to watch today. What a shame.

 

[Nymzee]

Everyone ready for their weekly dose of "ah, would never have guessed that line up"?

 

[GwladysBlue]

I just know that our starting Xl is going to be woeful again today. Doesn't even shock anymore.

In saying that, I think we're going to win.

 

[Albertini78]

Sorry lads I've put you's on my acca

 

[Nymzee]

We looked miles better - and quicker - second half with Vlasic and DCL on the pitch so can guarantee both benched today.
