Burnley - The Mighty Toffees

And that's the end of the first half. That goal could truly be a very crucial one for the game and maybe even the season!

really poor half... only Richie, Pickford & DCL showing any real ability

at least we are somehow level.

Half time teamtalk badly needed here

and by the way... this is yet another game where James is totally anonymous.... he should be our pivotal star player... what has happened to him ?

He'll have a fab 30 minutes, lay on 2 goals and be subbed for Holgate, as we hold on to a 3-1 win and piss off the commentators.
Meanwhile Allen, Doucoure and Gomez will learn how to pass, and we'll all be merry and bright.

I may put that on my next Moonpig Chrimbo card I send

Let's push on and get three points.

here we go .. needs to be better this half


COYB

Positive start there.

Richie & Gomes both with chances/// come on !!

I'd love to see Richie getting a goal today.

great effort from James... what a save

Great attack, equally great save by Pope from James.

we are on the front foot... need to score here / soon

The play shouldn't go through Allan, it should go through James when attacking.

Pickford being a twat again

Pickford making an odd decision there, but he gets away with it.

If Burnley were to score, there is no way we'll win this game, just saying.

Speaking of Pickford, questionable the way he approached that corner but the ref blows for a slight foul on Pickford.

our passing is apalling

Burnley in no hurry to get the play restarted on throw ins and free kicks.

With Southgate in the stands, I know which goalie would be my number one with Pickford currently being one and Pope number 2. I'd have Pope well above Pickie.

I think Pickfors is a better shot stopper, but Pope isn't unstable in the fooking head... so I'd possibly agree

From the BBC live text just now.

Roger: Pickford used to be safe as a house, right now he resembles a windblown shack out in the desert.
