Your views on Saturday's matchpublished at 12:46 8 April 2024

We asked for your thoughts on Saturday's Premier League game between Everton and Burnley.
Here are some of your responses:
Everton fans
Roger: Terrible! We were given the game by Burnley, who had 63% possession. We must improve greatly if we are going to have any chance of staying up. Hopefully Dyche can find new players without having to spend large sums.
Russell: Much better. It wasn't pretty, but they got the job done. There seemed to be more aggression and urgency in winning the ball back. We also started to attack in numbers, rather than hoofing it up the pitch to a single attacker. Three very important points for us.
Greg: Dyche will say a win is a win, but I came back on the coach after the match and it was like we had lost. The football is truly awful and if we manage to stay up, and he is here next season, that sort of stuff won't be tolerated. Sam Allardyce played more football than this.
H: It was good to get a win. However, the football we are watching seems to be getting worse every week. I have been watching Everton for 60 years and I can’t remember a team so devoid of ideas and skill.
Burnley fans
Jeff: Yet again we shoot ourselves in the foot. We gifted Everton a goal from nothing. That is the easiest three points they will have all season. Why Foster was played out wide, when we have more wingers in the club, is beyond me. On these showings, there is not a chance of coming back up.
Nigel: Tactically, we failed to combat the classic Sean Dyche set up. We were hopeless when trying to deal with the high press, which directly contributed to the only goal. Yet another defensive error, again induced by the high press, which led to a professional foul and yet another red card, making it doubly difficult to mount a comeback.
Steven: A poor performance but the frustrating thing is Everton were no better. I might be in the minority but get Trafford back in and let him develop! Muric has had a couple of good games and everyone thinks he is the saviour, but he was making mistakes last season so he was going to be no better this season. Let's start planning for next season in these last few games.
Mark: I'm afraid the blame lies on Kompany's shoulders, given the complete lack of effort from the players in the first half of the season. His signings haven't been up to it. If we had stuck with the same players that won the Championship, we would have been fine. Benson must be shaking his head in disbelief.
