    Ah well, as long as Everton are relegated who cares eh?

    I couldn't care less about Everton, I'd like to see my team compete instead of the dross which he has served up over the last couple of months.

    Agreed, the formation invites a desperate team attack us - not sure that should be the plan...

    I’m not anti Broja but he’s not impressed me for half a dozen or so games.

    Especially as they are defensively weak.

    It's because all of the rest of the team are miles away from him and he has no service.

    It's a classic example of one team desperately needing the points and the other not. I was totally expecting this. As long as we turn up on Sunday when I'm at the game I don't really care tonight.

    Adams on for one of Lyanco or Valery at HT.

    Give them something to think about at least.

    I don’t really mind what happens at this point, but would like us to at least make a contest of it.

    Says it all when Romeu is the only attacking threat!

    Yeah he has been off it for a while now. But he's young - and we don't know how the Chelsea situation has affected him - so it's not unexpected.

    But it really, really, really doesn't help when he's stuck up front by himself. He's not, say, Drogba.

    I couldn't care less about Everton, I'd rather we tried to finish in the top half.

    Well that was a truly cr@p first half. Wonderful first goal but the second was awful from our point of view. We actually play in possession like we are world beaters (which we are clearly not) and pass the ball about like no one can get the ball off us (which they do). Our forward movement is rare and when it happens it is so predictable it's easy to defend against. Though in reality, they don't need to defend that much as we concede possession at every opportunity.

    Apart from that....

    Let's see some changes second half. Tella must be due an opportunity. And this is a game well suited to Adam Armstrong. Just sayin'...

    Very poor and disappointing. I would like see see Ralph go gung hi second half. They look defensively poor, but we have been playing defensively across our back line when we have the ball. We need to be add them and the cracks will appear. However, I expect to see the same dross in the second half

    Get one back and they will be anxious.

    Not a clue how you can switch caring on and off like that, expecting a strong Burnley performance or not.

    I'll always retain a soft spot for Cork, but I could see a second yellow coming his way.
