 Hello, welcome to the match reaction. Everton 3 at Burnley Nill in the Carabao Cup, the Blues safely through to the quarterfinal with what was very much a routine win at the end, and I'll be honest I haven't seen too many routine wins recently from Everton, but tonight was one of those, that's a three clean sheet in four games for Everton now and back to back home victories, scoring six and conceding nine and it was good, it was a good night's wake for Everton. The manager made a couple of changes, actually young coming in for Nathan Patterson, I wasn't convinced with that one, I'm not going to lie, and Anna Danjumet coming in for the core aim playing just off Dominic Calvert-Lewinon. Before I get into the match reaction, I am a little bit and I was a bit pissed off with goings on at Everton tonight before the game in the upper bullons and I got there 20 minutes before kickoff to be stood in a queue most of the way down Bullons Road with zero information from any stewards or police. The queue was split off one way to Gladys Street and one way back up towards the park end and it was crazy, I hadn't got in and missed the first seven or eight minutes of the game and apparently there had been an update on the system so virtual tickets weren't working. Byr y time I got to the turnstile with Trach, ours worked but I don't know what's going on, why we do an update on the day of the game, why wasn't the police or the stewards there giving information out when you can see an issue. You know personally the game should have been delayed 10 minutes to get people in, I admit, sorry, I imagine most people were in around other areas of the ground but it's unacceptable, the bullons road for a bit was mad and yet there was nothing, people were just wondering is this the right turnstile and just crazy, I'm really really annoyed tonight with that, that's got to be sorted. You'd often have these issues on cup games, I don't know why, people have got tickets, I don't understand why, it was so get that sorted because it's nonsense, that's the bad bit of the way. I'll even say something nice about the referee in a minute as well, Everton from what I saw, so the first seven or eight minutes so come back at me if we done something amazing in the first seven minutes but byr y time we got into our seats Everton were in control of the game, Bernley looked pretty enough tapping a ball around, the goalkeeper was mad, some of his playing out from the back and then running backwards towards his goal and realising he wasn't actually in the goal and then sprinting towards the middle of the goal was hilarious. They played some nice football but there was no threat from them whatsoever and I know that wasn't Bernley's favourite full team but they just knocked it around and Everton had a comfortable night, Jordan Pickford had a save to make all night, I don't think you'll have an easier night to be honest with you but Everton got ahead in at the 13th minute, the old Bernley connection, Dwight McNeill was booed, got it onto his left foot, floated across in and James Tarkovsky with a tremendous head, er into the corner of the net to give Everton a 1-0 lead and once that was in it was never really in doubt, Bernley tried to play a couple of round the corners in behind us but in general he dealt with it quite well. And though they've had more goals in the first half against some wrong decision making in the final third Dwight McNeill, I'm looking at you on one of them when you should have just played in James Garner when he'd made a good move and Dan Dume looking at you but in general Everton was just in control and you just felt a halftime you just needed that second goal and that would be it. Came out for the second half, got the second goal not too far into the second half, a ball to the back post, James Tarkovsky headed it back across on Amadou Oana and tapped it in to make a 2-0. It was tie over from then and it could have it and get more goals, they had opportunities, Dominic Albert Lubin had done really well, I think that might have led to the corner actually when he ran two of their defenders and a shot deflected wide. We had moments again, just making the wrong decision really but you don't mind trying to play that attacking football. Dwight McNeill twice had the opportunities to slide other players in and didn't because he wanted to shoot himself and I guess getting booed by your old clubs fans you want to smash one in the corner on the net and celebrate basically, that didn't quite happen. We had the lovely little breakaway between Dan Jumar and Dominic Albert Lubin and Albert Lubin tried to feed it back to Dan Jumar and it just deflected away from him. The manager made some changes on came Beto and on came Adelaide Acore and Everton again, it was comfortable, honestly it was as comfortable as you'll get in a home game and in a cup tie. Everton again, like I said, could have and should have had more, Nathan Patterson came on, played a couple of great, played one brilliant ball across to Beto, should have scored, should have gone with his left foot, went at it with his right. But Beto got some reward for working hard, chased the ball down the flank, knocked the defender over, come into the box, fired it across and actually Young was on hand to steer it past the goalkeeper to put the cherry on the top of the cake. And Everton into the quarterfinals and a good result, like I said before, a clean sheet and done really well. It's all you can ask for, you're playing in these games, being too many caribou cup, league cup, milk cup, little woods cup, rumbolo cup, whatever, carlin cup, whatever guys it's been in and Everton have just never really done well in this competition. We've been to two finals in it, few semi-finals, we've never ever, obviously never won it and we generally thrown games away when we've had an opportunity to win it, to progressing a cup and it builds confidence and obviously for the blues at home we've been talking about the next step really for Sean Dight away from home, I think he's been fine since he took over at Everton, I think Everton have been fine away from home under him. The home form has been the issue for the manager, but the last two games, you've gone about the business really well, you've scored six goals and conceded nine and if we can get our home form going then teams aren't going to relish coming to Goulderson Park and we can go there and be more relaxed. The fans were excellent tonight in terms of, you could just tell it was just a calm atmosphere that you know, we were able to just enjoy the game and it was such a novel feeling, I mean I'm sat with Tom, with 10 minutes left saying this is great isn't it, how comfortable is this and that's what you want, I forgot that feeling, I'm just sitting there and enjoying the game without the stress and the pressure of it so many more of them please Everton. I think if we can get build that home form up then who knows where they can, they won't be in any trouble put it that way, Everton can continue and maybe build on this home form, it wasn't much to change Ben he said I know that, not sitting here thinking oh I'll tell you what we can beat anyone, but confidence, winning games breeds confidence, confidence means you go out and do your jobs properly, means the crowd are calmer, it means the whole place feels better, players will take more chances and can play. And we've got good competition for places now and Everton have proved that tonight and again the clean sheets will keep the back four ticking over, it'll please Jordan Pickford, he's not at anywhere near enough of them, but that's his third in four games, it's Everton's fifth winning seven, so they're in a good place at the moment, we've got a massive game at the weekend against Brighton at Goulderson, opportunity to really double down on this home form by beating them, they're a good side and they'll cause us way way more problems than what we can do. They'll play, they'll be open, they'll have a lot of the ball and we can play on the counter which is what we like. Really good, the referee I thought was excellent and I don't say that very often and you can tell him must be in a good mood but I thought the referee was excellent. For me it's a match, it's a match, I'll give it to Tarkovsky for a goal and assist and he did quite well. I'm going to say Dwight McNeill, I thought Dwight McNeill had the bit between his teeth all night, I thought he played really well tonight, had an assist and obviously had the corner, had the pre-assist if you like, so Dwight McNeill is my man of the match tonight.
