I am so glad we won. It was our first home win since Forest. That is 6 games. If it had gone to 7 it would have been our 2nd worst in the last 40 years. The worst was the last 3 of 97/98 (inc the Coventry match) and the first 6 under Walter Smith.How can a team have such poor home form and such good away form. That is the wrong way around.An interesting fact. That is twice a Moyes team has gone 6 games at home without a win. 09/10 season - it was 5 draws and a loss. It was ended on 28/12 with a 2-0 home win against. . . . . . BurnleyAgree with posters saying Moyes needs to bring on subs earlier, especially George, Dibling and Röhl to give them experience. Whilst a lot moan about him not playing youngsters, he has started 2 teenagers this year and would have been 3 but George had his 20th birthday 6 days before the Bournemouth match. Our 30 year olds are Tarkowski, Gana, Pickford (excused because Goalies are usually better in their 30s) plus Keane, Grealish and Coleman so we ...

I thought Dewsbury Hall was the driving force behind this win along with Ndaiye and McNeil was decent, also a solid back four, snubbing out any threat from Burnley.
Let’s do a job on Arsenal and continue to press for a European place and a strong finish in the League....

Paul Hewitt in Everton vs Burnley Player Ratings: Toffees break winless streak at home -
The ratings are much the same as my opinion apart from Beto who deserves a 7.
We looked like a team on the same page in this game but as others have said it can depend how good the opposition is....
Raymond Fox in Everton vs Burnley Player Ratings: Toffees break winless streak at home -
It is amusing how serious some folks take these ratings. They are bound to be all over the map.I've never done them because I have trouble holding and weighing the full player contribution, and their mistakes always stand out for me, which I admit makes me ultra critical, so I would be marking them all way down. Who was it we used to have who only ever had three marks: 7 if they played okay, 6 if they didn't, and 8 on very rare occasions if they did something great. It does make these half-marks look a bit daft.Perhaps the default should be 5 for making the team and running around a bit, and you adjust up or down if you think they contributed or not? 6 for doing a bit; 7 for pretty good; 8 for really impressive; 9 for simply outstanding... and 10 for Out Of This World! (Jordan Pickford on Saturday)...
Michael Kenrick in Everton vs Burnley Player Ratings: Toffees break winless streak at home -
Beto is no Eric Cantona, but he was excellent again last night.
His improved performances have coincided with the abandonment of the ridiculous tactic of constantly banging the ball up for an isolated striker to contest with 2-3 defenders.
I think around 50,000 people knew it wasnt working all season, but unfortunately we had to wait for the penny to drop with Mr Brightside. Lets hope it stays dropped.
