Jay seems totally lost imo

Has been every game he's started.

He isn't a starter, he's an impact sub. But looks like Barnes is being rested for the next game and with Vydra going, he's our only choice unless we went 4-5-1.

Close again from them.

Good Everton attack. C-L heads over. Phew!

has Pope put someone else's boots on ? His kicking is either atrocious or he falls over

Just wait until we turn it on in the 2nd half.

Pope needs new boots

Heck.
A Pope Shank!

You've spotted it too, eh?
The way we're lulling them in for the sucker punch?

our lads will be enjoying this, a nothing game for us to nick again !

Good defensive work. Tarkowski wins FK.

This is some seriously poor football.

Pope’s been on his arse twice and his kicking is atrocious.

It’s still 0-0 though so that’s a bonus.

They won't know what's hit them !!!!!

half time 0-0

We lull the opposition (and fans) to sleep with our style of play... and then score when they are sleeping

HT 0-0.

Corner at end for Clarets.

Keep it at 0-0 then grab a late goal

How long do you get to take a corner??

Ref awards it.
Waits for Westwood to get over to take it then blows for half time

What an absolute waste. Cock about with the ball for so long that we can’t take the corner. We really are our own worst enemy at times.

It’s hardly like he sprinted over to take it.

Why did we p!ss about with that corner ?

Here is Madge to brighten the half time.

He's an Everton fan though.

Happy with 0-0. Get Barnes on for JRod and get McNeil involved and we could nick this

It's so frustrating watching Burnley play at times.
That corner was a perfect example.

Exactly we are so used to wasting time we do it to ourselves

0-0 decent enough so far,the longer it stays level the pressure will grow on Everton.

I reckon the ref realised it should have been goal kick and didn't want to bring the wrath of Ancelotti

With Barnes on 4 yellows and 0-0, I'd leave it as it is.

We really are becoming a regular advert for non football

We have been time wasting since the first minute. Totally deserved the ref blowing and not allowing the corner. Tarks has been excellent and Pope except his kicking. Ok defensively overall, an absolute shambles with the ball. Almost getting unwatchable at times this season. Disgusting football but I guess we'll all take it if we get a result. Better get something, can't take watching this rubbish and losing.

If we can get Dwight into a bit of space for some crosses, I honestly reckon we can do em.
They're really dodgy at the back.

That first save from Pope was brilliant, the Brian Blessed impersonator behind the commentator having a moan every minute has kept me entertained, niggly game, we're well in it and not 3 down or owt although Everton could be 2 or 3 up on another day, some good moments, some lethargic, Corks run his socks off, McNeil tracking back his man too, defence pretty good and strong, too much space for them as they run through the middle, looking forward to second half and hope to see Barnes hassling them at some point.

Dyche is not bothered about pretty football it's all about results

Solid half. Think we've pressed well.

Pope made some excellent saves so far.

Just need to keep it tight and frustrate them.

Done well to get to HT without then scoring , now what will we do in the 2nd half

We are the masters of defending and keeping teams at a safe (ish) distance and defending is one of the artforms of football. So not really "non Football"

Sadly, we possess very little of the other artforms that make up the whole.That's why we are not very attractive to watch.

Effective yes, attractive, no !!!

Well one manager will be adjusting his tactics to try and win , and one will be saying same again lads brilliant half

As usual, we need to be brave and play the ball on the deck, it's not as if booting it long eases the pressure. As pleasing as it is, we can't keep stealing 3 its, sometime we are going to have to go out and earn it. Hopefully today.
The first 5 mins will tell the tale.

Your expecting a lot

Watching that first half answers all the question around why we don't sell out at home, and why away attendances are dwindling.
Mindnumbingly boring, turgid stuff. 0 entertainment IMO, and entertainment is what folk spend their hard earned coin on.

I wouldn't describe us as "masters" of defending

Shame we can’t string a couple of passes together to actually play some football

5 years ago, fair enough. But it's like he doesn't support signing players with technical ability and always plans this route, regardless of who he has available. We aren't evolving at all and one would surely expect us to be playing better football than when we were in the Championship.

I can definitely see attendances dropping in the near future even if we stay up, £40 for pure rugged defending is a **** take

I dont think he can play in a 2, or centrally. Best on left of a 3. His goal to minutes ratio is fine, but it's mainly been as we are pelting the box in the latter stages

But, according to SD, he would play a much different style if he had better players
Hmm, try signing some then
