Match Thread Everton V Burnley. Wed Nov 1st. 7:45pm

[Micky_T]

I had Everton on less than 2.5 goals as part of an acca that I managed to cash out 30 seconds before the 3rd goal so double win tonight.

Fingers crossed for a good draw in the next round.

He's grim going forward but defensively Mykolenko was once again superb and my MOTM

Sure he can improve but our full backs going forward has generally been something we have seen less lately. I know i say that in a game where a full back scored but yeah. As long as he puts in tackles and positioning like this he will be a nailed on starter for the rest of the season.

3-0 win and I'm delighted but not so much with the performance. Thought we were poor. But winning 3-0 when your poor can't be that bad. Burnley were woeful though. Was just hoping Beto was gonna nick one at the end.

 

[Bluebonic]

I back Beto to hit form. He just needs to acclimatise to the pace and strength of PL defenders.

I remember Drogba looking awful,when he first started plying for Chelsea, some of the foreign lads need more time than other to get up to the pace of the Prem

So easy in the end it was almost boring.

Textbook, really.

I know that Burnley left out a number of players but that was a decent, controlled and professional performance.

Partnerships in central midfield and central defence - that is giving them outside to thrive. Myko is getting better and it's a shame that Patterson didn't get the chance to benefit tonight. Good to see a sixth game in a row for DCL and so pleased for Beto in his late contribution to the third goal.

At times I had the impression that we were a good level above Burnley (as we should be) and Onana was outstanding.

A good night for the Blues and credit to the manager and DoF that we're looking a more joined up side.

Branthwaite is a colossus. Myko was excellent. HArrison, McNeil and GArner busy - hassling them every minute, Onana my MOM. Bossed the middle.

Sovereign win.
Haven't seen it in a long time.
Very nice.

 

[Melchizedek]

Great 3-0 win and into the draw.
Happy for Beto to get that assist. You could tell he desperately wanted to have some kind of impact on the match.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Very comfortable, very professional. Good win

Prime example why you play a strong side in cup competitions. If the opposition plays a weakened side, and the players avoid complacency, you can have a relatively comfortable night.

Superb performance and game management by Dyche, had a plan and stuck to it to the end. Unfortunately it also involves bypassing the midfield for large portions of the game.
