Match Thread Everton v Burnley - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[James Patrick]

Hopefully fans support the team vocally from start to finish. Support is not just "turning up".

3-0 win to start the revolution! COYB!!

 

[blue to the bone]

As long as we turn up this year.

Leicester last year, players seemed half cut from the night before.

That was not boxing day .
Last year we beat Burnley 5.1

Carlo could put 11 mince pies out and we should still beat Burnley at home

Two or three are already playing, well they are on the pitch!!!

Arsenal was a massive missed opportunity. Tired legs isn’t an excuse as half that team were coming back from injury/illness and hadn’t played for a couple of weeks, fact is we played for a draw at home to a dreadful side. Vital we bounce back with a win in this game to pull us away from that bottom 3

Hope Goodison is rocking at serious levels for this, Saturday was dead, even Wednesday wasnt that good, hope this is Chelsea levels plus some.

The crowd wasn’t as dead as the players v Arsenal, and when the players woke up v Leicester the crowd rocked the whole ground, moral is: when the players have a go the crowd is with them win, lose or draw: you can’t cheer when there is no movement or any sign of life in the team.

Could we please mark Hendricks late runs in to the back post for corners this time? Note to Carlo.

I think Hendricks is suspended for this game, but I get your point, watch whoever takes his place.

We have Carlo as our manager. Thank you Farhad.

 

[peteblue]

We shall give these people a 3-0 battering and then apologise for not scoring even more... Welcome Carlo.., and Merry Christmas......

[Grinch]

[TheBigIguana]

Interested to see what Carlo comes up with since everyone is still hurt

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

0-0.

Pickford
Sidibe, Holgate, Mina, Digne
Richarlison Delph Davies Bernard
Sigurdsson

I’m going with the 4411 which is a bit like 442 but with Siggy in the number 10 role. I think he’s going to slowly bring Kean in as he’s still young. Siggy could swap with Richarlison or even play in a 5 man midfield.

I’m surprised at the lack of central midfield options. Where did they all go?

Gomes and Gbamin both suffering from long term injuries is definitely one of the main contributing factors to our poor season.

On the flip side, Ancelotti wouldn't be our manager if our season hadn't been poor up to this point.

I'm not sure I can make it through another 90 minutes of Sigurdsson trying to play number 10
