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

[jazzy]

5 defenders

Why

Because Burnley play 2 up top.

Is this Benitez showing his true colours ?

I do hope that he isn't reverting to type.

Looks a bit negative to me that I have to say. Don’t quite know why he’s playing Townsend instead of Iwobi if we’re not playing Rondon up top, not going to be whipping balls in to Richarlison.

why not? He's just as good at heading as DCL.
DCL just has a better leap.

Keane for Rondon after we're 1up or wtf are you thinking Benetiz?

Was just thinking this.

Otherwise happy.

Throwing Rondon in now would be reckless. He's not played since May.

One day an Everton manager will cotton on to the fact 5 at the back never works for us

Its the dawn of a new era, its never worked in the past, but in the past we didnt have Rafael

Er that's miles off. Richie can't head for toffee.

Leaving out CB's to go man for man with Barnes and Wood without a third sweeping would have been a rough night. I'm okay with this formation.

 

[4737carlin]

Really like the team, heres to a fine win

Well that's a lie.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Good to see Gbamin and Rondon on the bench, some decent options at least. Not sure why Keane is retained but Holgate is on the bench.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

When we get are 3rd penalty...
