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

[Thomasc]

DCL and Sandro or Rooney up top

Vlasic in, Williams nowhere in sight, Niasse coming off the bench again I am afraid, impact sub.

First game of the season im over for and available to play if Keane doesn't make it. I know where row Z is, take note Ashley

No locker but I'll mind ya gear if it means fat man getting the boot!

Thought Schneiderlin was much improved when he was the sole CDM in the second half. Burnley will come to only disrupt so we only need one DM and with the ball at his feet i feel MS is the superior player than Gueye. Rooney was abysmal last night and im sorry but its not coincidence that last week we bagged 5 goals without him on the pitch so id drop him.

The CB's are the only two we've got but if Jagielka or Keane are fit enough get them back in.

I've gone past patience with Rooney, Klaassen, Sandro etc. Dropping Kenny and Davies after 1 bad game just isn't helpful for their development. If he drops kids after 1 bad game but persists in senior players after several then he's just a whopper.

We need pace, enthusiasm and some aerial ability against these lot.

Bench
Stek, Williams, Martina, Gana, Klaasen, Rooney, Niasse

That's what I'd pick

Put Gana in place of Morgan and that side would be perfect imo

I thought Morgan looked okayish last night, so felt it harsh to drop him

 

[People75]

It will be a draw.

I'd drop Morgan and Rooney to the bench. Sandro also. Klassen needs a chance in the middle of the park instead of being shoehorned. I'd keep Williams as he's got less mistakes in him than a young holgate. Jags isn't fit yet.

This sums us up at the moment

 

[Gladystweet]

Pleaseeeeeee, no more line ups. I can't take it anymore.

 

[mutley]

Burnley must be in a terrible quandary right now,

normally they would come here and sit back and hope to hit us on the break
but having seen our games they have got to be saying to their manager "let's go there and play this mob off the park boss"

Are you sure you'd rather not have a re-think on this ?
Williams place is assured right now simply because both Jags and RFM are injured.
