Clarets v Everton Match Thread

[CrosspoolClarets]

When you've only managed to get 8 points all season a 6 point gap is a chasm.

Not when you have them last game in May after already dominated them twice.

One win and they are within range.

[JBR]

Jay has been hooked for Foster.

Bet Dyche had been ******* himself at half time

[watsonsclarets]

come on boys lets give it a right go

[SalisburyClaret]

I am see it’s blame the keeper time again - the fault was with Brownhill and O’Shea

[It Is What It Is]

I see Sean is still wearing that 20 year old Mac!

Both not up to this level so no surprise there. Trafford outmuscled for the first.

[ElectroClaret]

Difference was the opposition were tactically far less capable and we had a decent out ball to Tella.

Agreed.
So why is he still being asked to do it?

[Casper2]

It’s neither, it’s tactics , until they change there won’t be any difference in performance or results

[burnleymik]

Okay that's a good start.

[JBR]

I see Sean is still wearing that 20 year old Mac!

He’s not even from Yorkshire

[Andreshotboots]

Redknapp saying that Everton are too big and too strong for Burnley to cope with.
As I posted 30 minutes ago - men against boys.

To be fair though they have been for most teams. 2 giant CM's as well as Calver Lewin and Tarky and Keano. We have 3 big centre halves in the team, though, and Berge and J Rod who isn't small. it's clearly a desire thing for me, they are first to every first, and second ball.We look like we can't be arsed today which is remarkable considering where we are in the table..

[blsclaret]

Boing boing.

Win the Championship next year and come back a better, more experienced team.
Money rules these days, and we will never have enough to compete.
Relax.

Have said every time, aim to finish in the top 3 of the bottom 6.
Stop expecting the unexpected.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Bypass their midfield !

[CoolClaret]

Football is complimentary. It’s more than just bits of individual actions.

Can’t play out at all when pressed and can’t hit it long and can’t claim a high ball.

Not what we need and makes us worse. Same **** every week

[Sproggy]

Been watching us since 1994. This is easily the worst team of players and the most useless manager we have had in that period.

I've been frustrated, disappointed, hard done by this season, but tonight sat here on a depressed and miserable Turf I'm genuinely embarrassed but also angered for really the first time this season as the enormity of the mess Vincent, Alan and the rest have got this grand old club of ours into sinks in

Yes, all that premier league money, all those promising young talented players and the parachute money to look forward to. What a disaster.

[spt_claret]

He's being asked to play that way to draw the opposition onto us, thus creating space behind them. We did it all last season.

Difference was the opposition were tactically far less capable and we had a decent out ball to Tella.

Other difference is Muric is factually better at it- better in the Championship than Trafford in the PL and L1, better against Everton in the cup.

So again why play to Trafford's weaknesses rather than either his strengths or pick the strongest choice for the style accepting other weaknesses.

Round and round in circles we go.

[kentonclaret]

Great to see Foster back out on the pitch in a Burnley shirt.
One real positive to take out of this game.

[willsclarets]

Very bright start. But not tested pickford yet

[burnley007]

O'Schit will still make a balls up.

[scamander]

Agreed.
So why is he still being asked to do it?

That's what I don't understand. Bizzare.

[SouthamptonClaret]

Ref left his cards at home?

[spt_claret]

O'Schit will still make a balls up.

Childish name calling like this or "this is the worst team and manager I've ever seen" really doesn't help. I'm critical and I'm frustrated and unhappy with an awful lot of decisions and performances this season but this really isn't doing anyone any favours come on now.

[distortiondave]

I know a shoulder barge is fair, but a shoulder sandwich should be a foul!

[CoolClaret]

Most games have been groundhog day this year - genuinely feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

[ElectroClaret]

That's what I don't understand. Bizzare.

I suspect its because VK doesn't have anything else in the locker.

[burnleymik]

Petered out again.

[CoolClaret]

Seriously embarrassing this.

Brownhill AGAIN the man marking Onana?

Why?

Nothing changed at half time? What the ****?

[burnleymik]

Although Amdouni just made Pickford make a brilliant save.

[ElectroClaret]

Nearly three.

[ISpeds00]

With Foster making a return, i suspect that will likely be the end of Jay this season
He's not offering anything at all

[addisclaret]

Worst corner routine in history there.

[Kgun5]

Fans booing our lack of imagination.

[Wokingclaret]

Stop these silly corners, get it in

[JBR]

Worst corner routine in history there.

Another shite short corner. Wasn’t Brownhill again was it?

[Safron]

Be nice to see a shot

[Kgun5]

AAD coming on…That’ll terrify Everton.

[JBR]

Tresor looks like he’s falling asleep

[JimmyRobbo]

The bar wasn’t very high but this is easily the worst half of the season

Rubbish comment.

Edit: Worst comment of the season.

[burnleymik]

Ut oh AAD for Delacroix. Hope AAD can play left back...

[burnleymik]

Ut oh AAD for Delacroix. Hope AAD can play left back...

Scrap that. Vitty just gone on the other side. AAD at RB.

[JBR]

Rubbish comment.

What?

[Murger]

We’re losing a game, so let’s bring on a centre back? VK looks like has no idea what he’s doing with regards to substitutions.

[spt_claret]

Don't get that sub. Bringing Benson on for a winger sure he has a goal threat.
CB-LB for a CB to move to LB smacks of overthinking it. Delcroix hasn't been great but it's just not a change that I can understand tactically

[BurnleyFC]

A Dyche side? Full of experienced internationals at all key positions. Everton are a very good side. Very well organised. They lack strength in depth but they would be in Europe at the end of this season but for the points deduction. They may still make it. They've just won 3 on the bounce without conceding. (Including Newxastle and Chelsea in the last 2).

Be honest. Passing a football to a team mate wasn’t a strong point of ours towards the end of Dyche’s tenure.

We’re giving him his easiest night of the season tonight, though.

[CoolClaret]

Think this is the fifth time I’ve posted this image this year

Did you miss the abuse to other posters thread ?

[JBR]

Did you miss the abuse to other posters thread ?

Guys a moron no worries

[ISpeds00]

The stats show the same every week
Possession more
Chances less

[spt_claret]

Scrap that. Vitty just gone on the other side. AAD at RB.

Makes sense theyre a dangerous crossing side so let's have 2 fullbacks out of position not 1

5D chess trust the process

Prize for most ridiculous post this year.
