But there's the added angle of proving we can win after European games. So far we've had 2 defeats so we've done nothing to dispel any theories on it affecting league form.

I expect this to be a bit of a scrappy game,hopefully we get the job done. With Coleman and McCarthy back and Lukaku fresh going into this one, we haven't got too many excuses not to get the 3 points

Hard to score goals on the treatment table.
They miss Vokes massively. Absolutley fuck all in that midfield though.

Post by: Bluedylan on October 25, 2014, 06:23:54 PM
We have a week to prepare for the Swansea game, which I'd expect us to win, and which would see us with 9 points from 3 games, if we can win tomorrow as well. That would see us moving into a strong position in the league, as well as being top of our EL group (all in all, that would be a pretty good start to the season).
I know it's still very early but we don't want a little gap to open up between us and the top 4/5 teams, where we are having to play catch up. Burnley will have prepared specifically for us all week long and will be really motivated to get their first win, whereas we probably only started preparing for them properly, as a full group, on Friday afternoon maybe. Important game.

Really hope Coleman is back for this
Can't see him not being fit, midweek just a precaution
Be surprised if Barkley starts this one.
Naismith rested means he should be back in his position and with Lukaku being on the bench midweek that looks our forward line, midfield has more options now McCarthy back in and it maybe worth resting Barry

This gets commented on and explained every time we are on first. They always discuss the late game for the first 15-20 minutes then the feature game for the next 40-45 as there isn't that much time between the first game finishing and the second starting. Both games end up getting about the same amount of coverage and discussion.

His job is to score goals though. He has scored 4 goals in his last 6 games. What more do you want?

He scores goals and will only ever get better.
What more do you want? I'm more than happy for him to be a bit sloppy and score goals if it means in the long run he will improve and score even more goals.

Do people really believe that?? Hes been playing better recently but do people really think that 1 in 2 and no other contribution is a good return?? Footballs moved on from strikers who do nothing but score goals and full backs that can just defend. Lukakus job is to lead the line, hold the ball up, link play win headers and score goals

He is 21 years old. He is going to be with us for a while (hopefully). If he scores 1 in 2 goals now then he will only get better (plus, he played a big part in the first goal by laying the ball off to Eto'o and then played a part in the second before scoring)

I think people expect him to never put a foot wrong and shit rainbows because he cost 27m. That's not fair. He cost 27m because that's what the market demands for a young striker that is a proven goalscorer in the Prem.
I don't think people expect him to not put a foot wrong, last year he rarely did as little as he has in some of the games recently, i'm willing to forgive it because he scores but others aren't.
Essentially people want the player we had last year which he hasn't been yet which in my opinion damaged his confidence because he wasn't first choice even with Benteke out.

Week after week I have cos hes been shite. Not today I havent cos hes tried to lead the line, tried to link play. I havent said a word against him today or in weeks cos hes played okay. You are a cunt though on that we'll agree.
Post by: Danny on October 26, 2014, 08:23:19 PM
We need a bit of width in the 2nd half, when we are attacking its all very congested and Burnley keep having 2v1 situations out wide as Naismith/Osman are coming inside all the time. If they keep being allowed to whip it in, they will score.
I'd quite like to see two subs on about the 50th if it's still 2-1 switching us to the normal formation, maybe Osman and Eto'o.

I this instance he is right though, and his postings seem to be a bit more level-headed today. I agree that we should expect more from Lukaku but at this point in time I'm happy that he is scoring but want to see more from him in future, especially in terms of intensity of his play.

Post by: toffee_scot on October 26, 2014, 08:28:10 PM
We are struggling a little bit with their workmanlike performance especially in the midfield and some of our passing has been pretty shocking. But I think we could score 1 or 2 more goals and hopefully Burnley will increasingly tire throughout the second half, but we need a more solid defensive performance from everyone.
Credit to Lukaku for overcoming the error that led to Burnley's goal, it seems a few times in this game he has found himself in much deeper positions.
Post by: Danny on October 26, 2014, 08:28:58 PM

most of their attacks have come from Trippier and Boyd, if we can get McGeady or Pienaar (if he's on the bench) up against Trippier then that should stifle them.

No he wasn't he played ok, nothing great but certainly nothing poor.
His link up and control have been working fine when the balls been played up to him, apart from one major incident.

Eto'o has 4 in all, wonder what his goal ratio is. Played better in the second half, but only relaxed when Sammy score the third.

His touch is incredible as well, rarely takes a poor one.
Solid defensively as well for the most part. Jags and Alcaraz are good beside each other and Barry and McCarthy have steadily improved this year together as well after a poor start to the season.

Only just seen the score now, great result. How have we played?
First of a little bit of credit to Burnley, they made the game quite tough and relied very much on a workmanlike ethos to try and get something significant out of it. As a result, we found it often difficult to get forward and find any kind of rhythm as you would see one Everton player sometimes surrounded by 3 or 4 Burnley players.
But ultimately, Burnley lack quality players. We didn't play particularly great but defensively we improved more and more as the game progressed, Alcaraz in particular put in a very good shift. In the first half the ball was mostly in our half as Burnley tried to get forward as much as possible, however when we went forward we were far more productive and as well as reflected in the scoreline at half time.
In the second half, we played marginally better or rather Burnley were not quite as much of an attacking threat. Martinez made the right substitutions with Barkley and later Pienaar coming on for Lukaku (who looked like he was limping) and Osman. Eto'o caused problems for Burnley and his second goal was a great shot, then he was just a whisker away from scoring a third.
Still it was a good result but we are going to have problems playing dogged teams this season as they will do what they can to disrupt our flow. We might even have to mix it up a little in the future.

He kept losing his position and ending up on the left side of the two centrebacks, crossing over from Jags at vital times who then had to quickly shuttle across and cover the area he'd just vacated. He was very ameture at times today.

Lukaku has the best possible mentors in Eto'o & Naismith and can only get better and he'll have learned a valuable lesson today by playing on the same team as both.
I love Everton.
:thumbsup:
I was saying exactly this to a kopite mate just now; can't believe I was saying Naismith in the same breath as Eto'o, but by god he deserves it; he has the work rate and decision-making skills of Beardsley or even Nigel Clough when he was at Forest, coupled with the lack of pace in feet which is compensated by his excellent awareness and speed of thought.

Aye, he'll do well to pick the brains of both. The many who slated Naismith have turned into the few that take out frustrations on another player lacking confidence in his ability. Hopefully Lukaku will follow suit.

This, you just don't go away from home in the prem and take the piss. It's never pretty, 3-1 away is a great result any day of the week against anyone. After a bit of the shock to the senses I think we're getting to grips with the midweek Europa commitment and Martinez seems to be getting the balance right regards when to rest his players. We're in a good place right now.

Same here. Must be grim getting mullered every week, and not even having proper go at it in the transfer market. Still the TV money and the parachute payments should do them a big favour in the long term if they invest wisely. Hope they don't get rid of Dyche. Seems like he's be a good manager if he was given more of a chance.

Prudent though, if QPR go down that's the club fucked into the 3rd division with huge debts.

Indeed, it's always nice to see teams promoted who rely less on money and more on their manager's talents and the whole team performance.
But even when being promoted to the Premier League you will find some owners will keep the purse strings tight and let's be honest, even if you are an ambitious or decent quality player from a top European league who wants to play in the English Premier League - would you be attracted to Burnley and Sean Dyche? I expect them in January to sign 4 - 5 players including squad/reserve players from the Premier League or decent Championship players.
Sadly I can't see them even finishing anywhere above 19th.

You've also go to take into account that they never expected being in the prem at this point.
I started working there 2 years ago and they were relegation fodder. Start of last season they were hoping just to stay up, now they're in the prem. They'll go back down, but keep a good core of the squad so they'll be well equipped to come back up and maybe kick on from there.
What did the boys think of Ings and trippier btw? Their 2 stand out players who are good enough for this level. The rest are just a bunch of talentless workhorses, unfortunately

He deserves a chance to be there for a few years, he's trying to put an infrastructure in place for the future rather than spend everything on a bunch of journeymen Premier League players. If they go down but look after the money they might just be in with a chance of building a solid foundation like the likes of Stoke rather than do a QPR and blow a fortune on shite, go up and down like a yoyo and put the whole future of the club in jeopardy.

Danny Ings only scored his first goal in the Premier League today which many strikers have done against us in the past. Still too early to judge but if he can score at worst 8 goals this season then there will be a queue for his signature.

Trippier caused us a few problems. Even before the season started he was highly rated by many football pundits and if he continues to impress, he could be called up to the England squad by the end of the season. I can see quite a few clubs interested in him and he might eventually move for something like £10m to a Sunderland or Newcastle.

I'm starting to write him off as a player and had heard 1 or 2 things about him being a dick outside the club so was thinking his time was up. (Just to make a point though - dint necessarily believe he is a dick and they're just rumours).
Our 3rd goal today was barkley, Pienaar, eto'o, goal.
Something really impressed me about Pienaar though, a lot of us agree that barkley needs to mature in decision making a bit more, and Pienaar took time out of celebrating to congratulate ross on the pass and making the right call.
Was really nice to see and put into crystal clarity the fact that barkley is still a kid (which, to be fair, should be extended to lukaku when giving him down the banks at times)

Yeah funny just watched it again an saw the same thing, Pienaar explaing to Barkley what he did was simple but effective.
Top player, and if him and Eto'o can enhance Lukaku and Barkley's development as well as contributing to games we should do well this year.

Feel bad reading that because they've got it absolutely right. I thought the Burnley players put in a shift today, Dyche seemed to have a strategy and they stuck to it... but the gulf in class, dear me. They just weren't up to standard.
Gotta' be disheartening. Tough thing for supporters and the chairman of a club like Burnley is to figure out how Swansea and Soton built the necessary quality and replicate that.

I suspect however that it is simply a case of people expecting a footballer to be different to normal people who couldn't give a shit about the person behind the tills when buying something. or expect them to be full of joy every minute of every day.
