Just heard Doucoure is out for 10 weeks @RandoEFC. Huge miss for you as it's clear how big a player he can be in your system.

Yeah we have plenty of first team centre mids but none of them really have the pace and energy of Doucoure. Still should have enough to win this one without him. Looks like a diamond midfield with Iwobi in the number 10 role. An interesting sub-plot to this game as he made a post about international duty earlier this week and "playing in his preferred position". Ancelotti was asked about it and basically said he can tell me where he wants to play and I'll find a way to fit him in. Today he starts in a central position so very much "go on then, show me what you've got".

Bumped into Iwobi in Tesco in Altrincham last year, to say that guy has an unusual dress sense would be an understatement. 

Big game for Everton today, Chelsea drew and West Ham come to us tomorrow so a fair few in and around the top four will drop points. 

3 points an absolute must but Burnley can be such a horrible team to play against it could be a tough afternoon.

Go on Burnley!

Wood's taken that very well. Been all Everton up to that point.

I'm staying out of all group chats during the game. My mates are pretty much all hooligans. Forums here I come.

You go to the toilet at 0-0, come back and you've let two in. Typical.

We actually started okay yet have somehow managed to trick Burnley into thinking they're Barcelona. Served up some awful passing in the final third.

The diamond doesn't seem to work for Everton. Iwobi isn't the best at playing that role just behind Richarlison & Calvert-Lewin. Seems to take up space which Richarlison would use. I know it's only been half an hour and against a defensive-minded Burnley side, but he's not really doing much there.

Better, good goal. Now use the momentum. Nothing less than 3 points here is acceptable.

Especially with Chelsea's form. Spurs too.

How have Burnley not had 2 penalties xD 

Probably because the arms were not in non natural positions? Neither a penalty any day of the week. 

Pickford off is fucking worrying, playing our Academy lad in goal now.

The 2nd one definitely was. Outside of the natural silhouette.

Either a Goalkeeper who looks like he's 12 years old or one whose as tall as one. Sad times.

Not a single first team goalkeeper in the squad now, fucking brilliant. Hoping that Virginia can keep a clean sheet but he's in untrained territory here, just desperate to see either Jordan or Robin back for the next game. 

As for the game we haven't been totally shit, but when you give away cheap goals like we have you cant expect points and you can't expect Europe if you give away points to the likes of Burnley. 

Sort our heads out and we can still win this as Burnley are wank, but we seem to have this fascination with spunking our home games up the wall.

@Whiskey at this rate you'll be getting a call-up to go in goal for Everton mate

Fucking tell me about it :dam:!
