Match Thread Everton v Burnley - Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

Our season so far has mimicked many a Burnley season under Dyche. Half decent start leading to a mid season drop off and the spectre of relegation, before a strong finish down the home straight with survival p much guaranteed with a few games left to play. We have about 5 or so six pointers in the next period. This is a HUGE game to kick it off - we win this and I think we do end up cruising to mid-table, points deduction permitting. We lose it and I think the writing is on the wall.

In the first fixture at their gaff they caused us plenty of problems with their front-to-back style of play. The only reason they didn't get more from us was their genuine lack of quality - poor first touches, crap passes and whatnot. Although we won that game confidently, I actually thought we were pretty poor and both our goals were horrid.

Burnley have seen an uptick in performance levels recently and have been causing teams problems. I think they've been unfortunate to come away with 3 points in quite a few of their score draws. And you know what happens when teams come to Goodison with that kind of form. I have a horrible, sinking feeling that we lose this something horrible, two or three nil to them.

Have to go back to the team that was getting us results early in the season:

Picks
Young - Tarks - Branners - Myko
Onana - Garner
Harrison - Doucoure - McNeill
DCL​

This was basically the team starting in the last 13 games as well^^

Who for?

Who for?

Us. DCL back in the goals, we score early, relax and it’s all ok.

I wouldnt trust us in any game even if 3up with 10mins to go, never mind score early and relax

I think we'll win, but we haven't done 'comfortable' since the mid 80s mate.

Do we ever do comfortable?

Even when we won 3 nil against Newcastle it was level after 75 minutes

We might win but comfortable wins are highly unlikely. You need to score multiple goals for that

Who is it that posts on here that says you rarely beat a team three times in a season? Well, that’s what we’ve got to do here. 1-0 Blues, nervy as hell.

Feel like we beat these

If your 'master tactician' doesn't win against his former club, then it's curtains for him i'm afraid.

I reckon this will be a tense 0-0 up until the 94th minute when Everton score an own goal to gift Burnley the win.

Turns out, only Everton can finally kill Everton.

Maybe if we all just stop saying the words "must win" we magically win a "must win".

We absolutely Must Not win this game


gotta be worth a try!

Is right Gavin.




Now we just need Ric Wee there as well and we might actually win a game.
