Gets a rare start today away to Brighton
Did well too by all accounts, another clean sheet for him. It would be great if he starts regularly going forward. Mees/Tarkowski partnership a big barrier all season
Seems like Burnley fans are struggling with the conundrum of accommodating three good centre halves into a 4-4-2. Certainly made an encouraging impression so far…

Someone should tell them that Collins played games in defensive midfield for Stoke
Sent off for a blatant foul in injury time away to Brentford. With Ben Mee out, this couldn't come at a worse time for Collins. I think there may be a chance that Kevin Long makes his league debut in the next match.
They've no matches until after the international break so Mee could be back by then. Don't think there's been any news about how long he'll be out for.
Lovely goal for Nathan Collins from a corner, at the far post, sidefoots it back across a crowd of players and it hits the back of the net.
He could have scored earlier too but for a block by the Everton defender.
Everton are going down.
i was baffled at the time they went with lampard. he has done nothing to suggest he was up to the job. entirely living off his playing reputation
I agree with you but the club is a shambles. He was the “best” of a bad lot which tells its own story. I honestly think they’d be better off if they’d have put Big Dunc in to the end of the season.
With a bit of luck they'll go down and Burnley will stay up. Looking at the remaining games you'd favour Burnley to pick up more points than Everton who've got games against United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leicester twice, and Chelsea.
Thought he had a brilliant first half with the goal and a few clearances to save certain goals and the opposite in the second,gave the ball away a few times with his partner centre half getting him out of jail in one instance with a block.
Fine prospect for us all the same.
As much as they hate Rafa, he'd have kept them up. I'd have bet my house on it. Playing without Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Mina, Allan, Townsend - all with medium term injuries, he had them in 15th, 6 points off the drop zone.
He also had absolutely nothing to work with. Spent a total of half a million buying Townsend, Gray, Begovic, Rondon and Lonergan in the summer. Got rid of James Rodriguez, Bernard and Walcott - all of whom had absurd wages (as of summer 2020, Everton had a higher wage bill than Liverpool). So incredibly mis-managed for years. The fact they've lost £373 million over the last 3 years speaks volumes...
All I'm gonna say is, poor Seamus Coleman...
Better for Coleman personally (and us), in terms of playing time, if Everton go down?
not at all imo
They'll likely start to blood Patterson in more if they get relegated. Championship is two games a week so he'd Next season could very well be Coleman's last season at Everton and long term for us it's more beneficial if Collins is the one playing in the PL. Burnley are also the one team that gets linked with Knight and have been named as one of the teams watching Cullen. Them staying up benefits us more imo.

Lovely finish by him. I might be reading into it a bit much because of the importance of the goal at the time given their situation but he received a serious embrace from the entire team. He seems a great character from seeing and hearing him speak, intelligent and grounded.
With Mclean injured, I guess that means Colemans and Doherty will be the wing backs
With Duffy and Egan nailed down at CB. it maybe be a shoot out for one spot between O Shea, Collins and Andrew "O"
If we end up with Coleman and Doherty at WB I'd prefer to see Collins come in alongside Duffy and Egan. Omobamidele is out with a back injury and O'Shea hasn't played much since coming back from his injury. I like O'Shea but feel Collins is more suited to how Kenny wants his RCB and LCB pushing up into attacking areas.
Don't see Doherty pushing across while Stevens is fit, and think Christie will be called up in June. Four games in two weeks will test Coleman and Stevens has had his issues with injuries. Think Coleman mainly plays RCB with Doherty/Christie at RWB and Stevens/Manning if McClean is out at LWB with Doherty pushing across if needed.
Richardson has said there's a very slight possibility he could return before the end of the season and their season ends five weeks before our first game. Won't be surprised to see him lining out for us come June.
