Burnley, somewhere where we've struggled, let's be honest, as I said, Teffmore has not always been a happy place for us. Of course we went there season before last, got a nice 5-1 win on Boxing Day, but it's not being the easiest place for us to go and get a result. Maldave won four of the last six games there against us, so that tells you. It isn't a good place for us to go. Two times we've won three, one or five ones, so we don't know right. But it's been a difficult place. They have a way of playing under Sean Dice and the crowd normally make it more difficult. Obviously this time it's a little bit different with nobody in there at the minute. Obviously we're hopefully approaching fans being allowed to be back in, but at the minute, Everton have got to use everything to their advantage. We've been OK, let's be honest, we've been decent away from home. Three away games this season so far, which is unheard of. All in London as well. All in London, but it's unheard of for Everton. This early on. So it's been a decent start for us away from home, but it will be a tricky game. I know they've only won one game, but it's still a tough game for us. Yeah, as you said there, they've only won one game, but you never count Burnley out. You never count Sean Dice out. It has been a tough start for them. I don't think the break in the summer was good for it. Summer like Burnley. Burnley normally. They don't have a lot of money. I know they're in the midst of a takeover at the moment. It looks like they might be getting bought by an American investor. So they're in the midst of that at the moment. But they only have a lot of money. And I think with the summer, the way it went, because it wasn't like a long drone out of fade, they can pick up almost like all the little bits, get those players. I don't think those players were ever really available and they actually lost someone like Jeff Hensrick as well, who's the kind of player they'd normally pick up, but they lost them to Newcastle. I don't think they brought anyone in, did they? Not of note. Not really. So that's been really tough for them. You're trying to get players going again into the new season. You don't have that little bit of bounce because you have ball plays and you haven't got the crowd behind you. And I think it's being tough for them. We've seen in the last game, they got beat by Manchester City 5-0, which is always seems to be the score when they play Manchester City. But all that being said, I am not taking this game lightly at all because they have got the little things that they ever can hate, essentially, which is getting the ball into the box, getting it in and around Jordan Pickford. And I think they'll make our defenders and if it is Jordan Pickford, they can go very, very nervous just by playing that style. And they'll know to play that style as well. Well, they tend to play 4-4-2. Don't believe you have Barnes and Chris Wood. You've got Jair Rodríguez. He's a good player, but we've faced direct football from them and well-organised. And they are difficult. We've got players like Dwight McNeill. He's a good talented footballer. But they do make it difficult. We've been generally OK against them. I know they beat us a couple of years ago, 1-0, but in general we've done alright against them, but it has been difficult to weigh in. They have been doing the things that they've got, which is being strong, strong at the back, well-organised. And they will be trying to put Pickford under pressure because you will be. You know, set plays is what the key is. You know, we scored the winner against us in this fixture last year at McConnor, you know. So, the year before, we beat them, they scored at McConnor. So, we know that the danger is when you've got those two strikers up front, they were big and strong. You're always going to play to their strengths, which will be balls into the box, or balls up to the edge of the box and pick the bits up. We've seen, it was Chris who scored a win if the only game he won. You know, a nice little bit of football, a nice little flick, but in general, that's what they do well. They pack the box and get throws and corners and free kicks into here and put your under pressure. Heaven have got to be able to cope with that. Well, they work as well on the weaknesses of the opposition. We've seen that last season, the game you all mentioned in there, the game we got beating, the fact that they'd obviously looked at something where we were fragile on set pieces and they had a chance, the same fashion, they knocked it to the back post, knocked it back in and the second time it worked, we didn't lay in from it, we didn't lay in from it, where we were quite lucky. I think they'll be looking at our weaknesses in defence and there are numerous weaknesses in defence, so certainly we're not watertight are we by any means and that will be interesting to see whether Carl and Chilot, he decides he has to change things. Start with the goalkeeper because these are the games where Pickford does look like a small keeper, he does look fragile in some of these games, he doesn't come in, take the pressure off us how we'd like to, when you're seeing balls coming across the box whether they be set pieces or crossed into the box, you know that he's going to have a tough day and I just wonder whether the manager will be looking at the situation thinking, know for this game if we've got a goalie and he's 6-4-5 we can come out, take crosses, come out, be physical jump over the top of the players one of the problems we pick for this I think we've seen that already this season is that because of his size when he tries to catch things that are higher and he's stretching for the ball he sometimes makes mistakes whether he's dropping it against Brighton or we've seen one against Man United which I know is a foul but just that instance of not dealing with the ball first time and I think once for someone like Bailey they love to exploit that the pinball in the box so it's a style of football and I think that's where that's where certainly for the goalkeeper maybe bringing Jeri Mina back as well I think that's where the manager may be willing to think over things and think right let's get as organised as the backers we can let's get the basics right and I hope the rest of it takes care of itself Yeah, he could throw all because of his size and that would relieve a little bit of the pressure I'd like to see him make his choice of wholegater or goffrey a right back for this one and put the other one in midfield that's what I would be doing for this, bring Jeri Mina back in because we're not going to get run by them you know we can defend a little bit deeper in this Michael Keane like to defend the edge of his box we can play we can almost play a low block against him and try and draw the monster of us try and do what they're doing and try to hit them on the counter attack and I think you can do that if he's solid I think if he ever haven't been solid for weeks and I think that's the first thing we need to do so I'd see a world where you put Olson and because of his height he tries to pick for you he played really well last week but would go on with this for this game Mina and Keane centre back maybe it's wholegater right back I'd play Niels and Cuncaw a left back because he's left an advantage and then in midfield I've got three as you six Alan Decora and the three lads up front and I think that would put Burnley under a bit of pressure Everton having six Premier League games we played against Burnley we've never kept a clean sheet of Teffmo and we have come and been undone by set plays and stuff so it would be to our advantage to have a big goalkeeper in and certainly someone like Jerry Mina who did score actually the last time he won a Teffmo so he could go that way Carlo and I'd be quite I'd be behind that I'd be really behind that win your battles if that's the English coalition let's get organised if it ends 0-0 it ends 0-0 but let's make sure we don't concede keep it tight and then you start getting a basis for games going forward because it's got to start hasn't it's got to start somewhere you've got to start taking pride in trying to get clean sheets and the manager will say last week we nearly got it but we were still looking we were angered on all over the place whether it was going to be a 25-yard or whatever we still gave up a lot of chances it's got to start we've got to get that organisation we've said ourselves loads of times build from the back get the organisation in first you're looking at some space at the moment on top of the league because Marino's built from the back to the front this season went out on board players put that out in the centre back and how you're big in front of the back four purposely because he knows he's got the attack on plays and I think it's the same over those I think we know we've got attack on plays you can put the ball in the back and then we've got the Premier League top goalscorer playing for us but we've got to get that back like that I know that's not easy by the way when you have lost your your best right back and when you've lost your best left back that's difficult but I think if you if you lean to defend as a team and lean to defend and become organised that makes it a little bit easier rather than just doing it hoping that your best plays are going to do it for you where you know Hallgate's come back into the team he hasn't looked right mean has been in and out of form and the only real constant has been Michael Keane hasn't he and now he's starting to dip isn't he for me I think we've got to get that organisation we've got to get that Spine right as well at some point as well the Spines looked very shaky lately I think if he could I don't know whether he would consider put my centre back in the field I would but what about if it was in the centre back what if it was Tom Davis or if it was a what do you think physically they are not up to it I think because Benley tend to play a 4-4-2 and now the used Rodriguez and barns off Chris Wood with City last weekend obviously they've done 5-0 but he's generally lined up in the 4-4-2 so me jy'n two centre in the field Alan Decor I'd be able to take care of Benley two centre in the field you know what I mean by that it's a match-up whether you get the better of them it's a different thing you just put two in the middle but if Everton did go through like a 4-3-3 and he didn't want to use Godfrey or Holgate in the field then Tom Davis could come into that battle or he could use Alex Oboby in there as a genuine eight breaking and then you just I just think I think we're not doing Alan or Decor any favours because we either say to Alan just sit and don't go anywhere which I don't know whether you can do that because you want to get involved but after time of signing to Decor you can't commit because you're all legs running your way whereas he wants to be breaking into the penalty area we sure am score a full and we sure am early on last week against Leeds on getting another chance to do it but he could have scored then as well and I think if you put Godfrey or Holgate in that defensive move field position you're able to free up Decor to go and join in so you'd still have three and Decor you'd have four attackers without trying to uncunct bomb up and down the line and then Holgate or Godfrey which is everyone you prefer doesn't always have to go and overlap then because you can offer you the three the insurance with the three or if Holgate does you six can drop back in and make it three so you've got the cover there so it's interesting to do that but you're like you said if you didn't want to do that maybe you'd say to Davis play like you did against Brighton play it just be the number six sit there against Brighton win it and just give it to someone else don't take chances give it to the other two lads in front of you then let them go and do the business because we tried Guilfey we tried Delphi can't rely on we tried Gomez he's up and down but now I don't think you're ever going to try in there he's a wide player and he's not going to replace either of our two wide players unless there's an injury so your options are limited that all that being said barely a second to bottom you've got a minus 13 goal difference they're not big goal scorers but you do have to defend properly against them and Everton if Everton are and we keep saying this if Everton want to get in Europe the club are saying, the players are saying it this is a game you're trying to move the team on we can sit here every week and we can say what we want but ultimately if these are the games where you say these are the games you're going to have to win these are the games you're going to have to these are the places you're going to have to go unless they're battling for you so unless they go to save more you'll be looking down that they should win Wolves as well that's not being disrespectful to barely at the moment because they're not playing very well all that is just saying if you expect to finish the season with 60 points 55 to 65 points these are the games you've got to win these are the differences these are the three or four games because it's a weird season I don't think we can necessarily normally we'd sit here and we'd go we're going to win 9 to 10 home games this season easy more so should be winning more that might be the case this season so the flip side of that is we need to win more away games anyway so we can't be scared of going to these places and you're absolutely right if I was sitting here this week and I was looking at the table and I was seeing less than we were going to there or I was seeing Wolves ago there I'd be like they're winning that game they're winning that game Southampton they were up there so you'd say they're going to win because you're catting Burnley at a good time and that's the way we've got to look at it it's got to be us going there and going we're better than you and we're going to it doesn't matter until we it's not where to sit until we get that defence right we've got to start picking up clean sheets we've got to start taking pride in that and looking organised and not just throwing a leg of things because you know what if they throw crosses into the box and we're flapping at them and we're not just getting them away they thrive on the knockdowns that's what is the difference you know what's a little bit of the game last week and I know last week Man City had injured problems and the club was out on the concussion protocol so I think he'll be back this week but it was just city were breaking it down in midfield and then breaking them and city had the field back now listen we're not city of course but we've got to stop them getting into those areas in the first place and I watched them take a couple of set pieces and the pressure they were putting on the city defence and everything go but the city dealt with it so a big keeper big centre back at the moment who's playing well and we've got to be the same we've got to be able to just do the basics because you know that's what they're going to do against you there's nothing surprising about Bailey there never has been anything about surprising about Bailey it's whether you can cope with it it's whether you can deal with it it's whether you can stand up to that kind of playing in the flash for years we haven't been able to and that's something we've got to turn around in this game you're winning this three points and this puts us on 19 points and as is in a nice little place nice comfortable position going into what looks busy month of tough fixes yes but this is one for me that we've you know I'll be looking at the play scene what have you got about this you can see the goals you've lost four out of the last five what have you got about this week we'll see what's madden on the 12 Premier League games between the two teams ended in Australia madden Burnley won 5-117 no side there's got a few league goals and Burnley this season he's got four goals this season the Clarets have also attempted the fewest shots they've had 83 shots in the nine games and only had 24 on target haven't kept clean sheeting there up in the weekend the spares everything now they've gone nine games without a clean sheet only Sheffield United they've got a worse record than that for clean sheets Burnley looking to win consecutive Premier League on games for the first time since October 2019 which ironically came against Evan which is great innit in the first five Premier League games this season Evan hadn't expected goals total of 9.9 and it's got 14 goals from 64 shots 2% conversion rate over the last five games they have an XG of 5.5 and I've converted just 9% which tells you doesn't it that we have dropped off Sean Dice's 200th Premier League match in charge making him the 35th different manager to reach that milestone only four of the previous 15 English managers to reach the milestone with Alan Pagie, Roy Alton, Steve Bruce and Glenardle Evan's record Dominic Halvert-Lewin has scored the opening goal in more different Premier League games than any other player this season he scored it in four different months and I think you know if we get the opening goal in this game that will go along it's a massive kit we've just seen listen just because they've only scored four doesn't really mean anything but the show and at the moment they're just not playing well enough they're not finding goals easy to come by and I think when you're we've seen Evan in this position in the past where you can't score it's like now the cheat to us at the moment is like the Holy Grail because we haven't had one so and then for Burnley when you're not scoring goals and you can see the first goal last week with that Leeds goal and then we just went but definitely when you're not scoring your head goes down immediately because it's like how are we going to get back into this game now we don't score a lot of goals and we're already behind we've had that with managers where the team look like it's got a goal in it you go behind and you're like no way back and your confidence is on the floor and the second to bottom for the reason I think Burnley because Dice has done it every year some will be able to take it now normally after Christmas he gets them on a run so now they're not in a good run let's capitalise and not by getting these three points because there'll be waste time to play Burnley this season without a shadow of a doubt so it's a big game for Evan there you go we've got to get three points from this game and then things will be looking the game isn't that easy the process in your mind things will be looking at hell of a lot if we can get the three points let's put it in that way but as we said it is a very very tough game there you go make sure to give this video a like subscribe if you haven't already join us on Patreon daily live videos of here over there and don't
