Everton finally managed to break their winless streak at home after beating Burnley 2-0<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n James Tarkowski and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored on either side of the half-time break to secure the Blues\u2019 first win at Hill Dickinson Stadium since early December. They continue to be 8th in the Premier League standings with 43 points.<\/p>\n Tarkowski scored his first goal of the season as he rose highest to meet James Garner\u2019s free-kick and drive it goalwards to take the lead against his former side. Meanwhile, his defensive partner Jarrad Branthwaite came close to doubling the hosts\u2019 lead after testing Martin Dubravka from close range.<\/p>\n Everton finally secured their insurance goal through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the second half. The midfielder finished off a quick counter-attack to wrap up all three points at home.<\/p>\n Here are the player ratings from Everton\u2019s comfortable 2-0 win over Burnley at home:<\/p>\n Jordan Pickford: 7.5<\/p>\n Pulled off yet another<\/a> fantastic last-gasp save to deny Lyle Foster in the closing minutes. Had very little to do besides that moment.<\/p>\n Jake O\u2019Brien: 6<\/p>\n Had a quiet evening going forwards but kept it neat and tidy in possession.\u00a0<\/p>\n James Tarkowski: 8<\/p>\n Scored the opening goal for the hosts with a thumping header before breaking into celebration. He also put in a brilliant challenge on Hannibal and held the backline well.<\/p>\n Jarrad Branthwaite (replaced by Michael Keane at 83\u2019): 8<\/p>\n Branthwaite could\u2019ve doubled Everton\u2019s lead in the first half with a header that was well kept out by Dubravka. He looks considerably better in his natural centre-back role and found joy carrying the ball out from the back.<\/p>\n Vitalii Mykolenko: 6<\/p>\n Mykolenko was guilty of playing a poor back pass that could\u2019ve led to a Burnley chance. He also didn\u2019t offer a lot going forward but had a decent game otherwise.<\/p>\n Idrissa Gana Gueye (replaced by Tim Iroegbunam at 86\u2019): 7.5<\/p>\n Gana almost pulled a cat out of his hat by robbing Kyle Walker of possession, cutting inside and hitting the crossbar with a swerving shot that had the entire stadium up on their feet! He found the space to venture forward and combine with his countryman Ndiaye.<\/p>\n However, Gueye could\u2019ve done better on one counter-attack where he delayed releasing the ball to Ndiaye and the latter was in an offside position.<\/p>\n James Garner: 8<\/p>\n Garner continues to be a massive threat from set pieces and once again, it was his set-piece delivery that led to the hosts scoring in the first half. He also kept things ticking throughout the contest.<\/p>\n Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: 8.5<\/p>\n Dewsbury-Hall was at the heart of everything Everton did in the second half. He kept trying to force things with his runs and movement and finally reaped the reward by scoring the winner at the hour-mark. The Everton Number 22 got to the end of Ndiaye\u2019s measured pass and finished by chipping the keeper from a tight angle.<\/p>\n Dwight McNeil (replaced by Tyrique George at 86\u2019): 8<\/p>\n It was McNeil\u2019s probing and pass to Ndiaye that led to the Dewsbury-Hall goal. The winger, who\u2019s had a difficult time of late, had one of his best games in a while. He was tidy in possession and had a hand in the second goal. Was met with plenty of applause from the home fans following an encouraging performance.<\/p>\n Iliman Ndiaye (replaced by Tyler Dibling at 90+2\u2019): 8.5<\/p>\n Everton\u2019s magic man seems to have rediscovered his glorious form again. Kept gliding and weaving his way out of danger on the left flank. Ndiaye could\u2019ve almost found the net had Gana released the pass to him sooner but it was his measured pass that saw the hosts score the winner in the second half. Came off the pitch to a thunderous applause.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beto (replaced by Thierno Barry at 83\u2019): 6<\/p>\n Had few chances in front of goal besides the header that went over the frame of goal early in the second half.<\/p>\n Substitutions Came on from the bench to provide some rest to Branthwaite and shore up the backline.<\/p>\n Thierno Barry: 5<\/p>\n Didn\u2019t get a chance to make an impression.<\/p>\n Tyrique George: 5<\/p>\n Brought on to provide fresh legs on the wing.<\/p>\n Tim Iroegbunam: 5<\/p>\n Late cameo from the bench to reinforce the midfield and take some minutes off Gana\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n Tyler Dibling: N\/A Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission. Comments are the responsibility of the poster. Disclaimer<\/a> ()<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted Anjishnu<\/p>\n I think your ratings, once again, are geared toward generating comments on thread.<\/p>\n Beto only gets a 6. He worked himself to exhaustion. <\/p>\n Also McNeil only gets 8 while you give Ndiaye an 8.5. Why as I though both were equally effective and even thought McNeil was slightly better. Ndiaye could have put McNeil through when he had him on his right and Beto on his left but instead elected to shoot. <\/p>\n Finally amusing is that George gets a 6. Why? Was it because he was brought on to provide fresh legs? Surely that applied to all subs. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted Beto 6 is fucking ridiculous. I’m not a fan but his overall play was worth an 8. And the evidence? Look how long it was before Barry came on. I saw today why some still have faith in Beto. 6 is a fucking disgrace. <\/p>\n And your educated one sentence comment Anjishnu: ‘Had little chances in front of goal besides the header that went over the frame of goal early in the second half.’<\/p>\n Utter bollocks. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted Neil mate – 1 – I watched George carefully when he came on. Neil, he didn’t touch the ball once. Not once. <\/p>\n He chased a ball down. And our knowledgeable Evertonian Anjishnu gave him the same fucking rating as Beto. He didn’t touch the ball once. Good work, Anjishnu. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted Mercifully the ratings given by Anjishnu have no significance at all beyond this increasingly obscure betting site branded as an Everton Fans forum. I would be surprised if any player is aware of them.<\/p>\n I also thought during the game Beto was working very hard. Limited player but I bet he was knackered at the end.<\/p>\n Overall, I think we played as a team and there was some impressive passing but sometimes the 20+ passes ended up back with Pickford.<\/p>\n Says a lot about our No 9, even if he was running his arse off! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted \n Top post Ged 5 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted \n Be funny if you were trying to bet just when a race or game was about to start. Not a fan of betting myself but for those who are, I bet (sic) that’s taken the thrill and maybe decent odds out of it. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted I’m on your side regarding Beto, Anjishnu. When the ball comes in his direction, he looks like a proper centre-forward, unlike Barry, but he achieved very little last night.<\/p>\n In recent weeks, I cringe when I see the ball played to Barry, I wouldn’t back him to cleanly win a tussle with the mascot. Beto, on the other hand, looks much more plausible, but the success rate isn’t really much better.<\/p>\n He won about a quarter of the 50-50 balls that Calvert-Lewin would have won; any he did win were often wasted by his distribution. When he was twice put through in the box, he couldn’t clear his man and seemed happy to just win corners.<\/p>\n The vast majority of our attacking threat came from a good midfield performance. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted My golf handicap gets adjusted up or down depending on the difficulty of the course I’m playing. <\/p>\n I suggest all these scores need to be reduced by at least one full mark to reflect the fact that the opposition was Burnley, who were dreadful. No better than some of the League 1 & 2 teams we’ve played in early rounds of the cups in recent years. They’re going straight back down.<\/p>\n And the half marks still annoy me! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted I’d have given Beto at least a 7. <\/p>\n Apart from not scoring, he had a good game. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted I just think Beto is more effective away from home. <\/p>\n At home, it is more back to goal, into feet and link play.<\/p>\n Away is more forward facing, run into spaces, use pace.<\/p>\n I think he is far more comfortable doing the latter, than the former.<\/p>\n But I am happy he’s contributing. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted \n Ian, watch the game again lad, silly post. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted Beto was great against Burn, great work rate in the last two games. He can hold up a ball, hold off players, and give opportunity to anyone running off him.<\/p>\n Dewsbury-Hall was an 8 for me, in the thick of it all, but he does make loose passes, more in his defensive positions though.<\/p>\n There was some good joined-up play, not the quickest transition at times, but tidy, and way above anything Burnley had on offer.<\/p>\n The mood in the stadium was raised by the players, and everyone got a good result, nice 3 points that! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted I watch him live every week, Paul. <\/p>\n I know what I see from him, I know what he’s good at and I know he struggles at.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted I thought Beto played well last night.<\/p>\n If we don’t keep him, more displays like that will get buying clubs interested. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted Good job, Anjishu.<\/p>\n Always funny to see the responses. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted Beto is no Eric Cantona, but he was excellent again last night. <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n I think around 50,000 people knew it wasn’t working all season, but unfortunately we had to wait for the penny to drop with Mr Brightside. Let’s hope it stays dropped.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted It is amusing how serious some folks take these ratings. They are bound to be all over the map.<\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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) <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted The ratings are much the same as my opinion apart from Beto who deserves a 7.<\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted \n Michael @18. It’s about different opinions. That’s why you have articles like this. <\/p>\n
