RuffRob Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Townsend cross and goal where on par with anything we have seen from James. Quality.

Popular Post Zoo 2.0 Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Lost my voice celebrating Doucoure's offside goal, the ground was electric when Gray put us 3-1 up. Boss nights these when everything comes together under the lights. I actually backed the five at the back considering that they were always going to play with two strong target men, but fair play for swapping it around and putting an extra man in midfield, no suprise that once we did that we started to dominate the game - no service for their front two and an extra set of feet to set our our wingers and Richarlison free. My biggest complaint at HT was that we were not moving the ball fast enough, but second half we did just that. Townsend was fucking outstanding, best goal I've seen at Goodison for a long while and very nearly got a second (fantastic, top drawer save from Pope to deny him). Gray just gets better and better each week, think he's going to be the signing of the summer considering we paid about £4.80 for him. Viva Benitez.

Popular Post Wiggytop Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I’ll echo everything said so far, and add that Burnley were kicking seven shades out of us until we scored. The old lady rocked in the second half, me and my lad have lost our voices, small price to pay for a great night.

Bailey Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 What a change that was. The first 60 minutes were dreadful. Burnley were the better side. The back 5 didnt have a clue what they were doing, the midfield couldnt get on the ball and the front three may have well have been playing in different counties they were that far apart. If I am honest, I thought it was a bit of shit the bed decision by Benitez. He was scared about Burnley bullying us, he was too cautious and it could have cost us. What followed though was electric. Godfrey off was the right decision (thought he was poor) and Gomes was the right man. We had no control up to that point but with him, Allan and Doucoure went on to boss the game. The front three all turned up at the same ground and the back 4 knew what they were doing again. It was like a switch being flicked. The players were comfortable and we were attacking space at pace. Up to that point Gray and Townsend were frustrating me. They lacked moments of quality but boy did that change! What a strike and it was a good cross for the first too. Gray even manage to drag a pass out of Doucoure, which felt like it was his first completed pass of the afternoon! It was a very composed finish. They were the perfect changes by Benitez and we then went on to completely outplay a limited but very organised Burnley side. Not many teams will pull them apart like we did at the end. Hopefully this gives Benitez a bit more belief in those players so that we don't have to see 5 at the back again! I'll just add a couple more words about the goal we conceded. It was a bit of a mess to say the least. It was initially a good header by Godfrey but then he runs out like he was being controlled by a 12yo lad playing Fifa. He charges out, gets nowhere near the cross. He has Digne next to him too and with Keane out of position, it leaves Mina and Coleman against 4 big Burnley players and they had no chance. It wasn't the first time we didn't have enough pressure on the cross and a mismatch of numbers in the box either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Tactically we got it all wrong in the first half. I hate three at the back so as soon as I saw that my heart sank and what we went on to display did nothing to dispel that feeling. Please stop trying it. We played so deep and let Burnley control the game, and then when we did manage to have the ball we played unbelievably slowly. We were launching the ball up the field for Richarlison to try and win the aerial balls against their grocks. That's just madness. Pickford was hitting the ball long and out wide into two of our smallest players in Coleman and Digne. That was clearly part of the game plan because he was practicing it in the warm-up before the game. The midfield may as well not have been there - Gray had a couple of moments but that was about it. Richarlison tried but he wasn't getting much out of their defenders or anything in the way of support from his teammates. Then we come out in the second half and before we know it we're one behind. I feared the worst at that point because we hadn't looked like we had anything in us to be honest. Then we absolutely exploded for 15 minutes and that was all she fucking wrote for this game. For that period of time Burnley did not know what had hit them. I barely knew what had hit them to be honest! We just went bang, bang, bang. We could have had a couple more as well but after that we just saw the game out in a professional manner.

A lot of our players get nosebleeds at the thought of getting too high in the league. I hope we win 7-0 and top the league on goal difference, but I will be very happy with a 1-0.

Palfy Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I’m still buzzing after last night we had a 25 minute spell where we were unplayable in the 2nd half, Matt usually posts the extended highlights they can’t be ready yet, but can’t wait to watch them over and over again. For those of you who were lucky enough to be there under the lights in a rocking Goodison I’m truly envious you lucky bar stewards.
