THE Burnley fans certainly got their money's worth at Turf Moor last night.

Okay, there was no Paul Gascoigne in the Everton side despite speculation that he would get a run-out at some stage.

But it didn't matter to the Clarets fans who got to see two different sides turn out in claret and blue.

Manager Stan Ternent showed the strength in depth of his Burnley squad by using 22 players -- and still had a couple left over!

One of the biggest cheers was for Dimitri Papadopoulos's Burnley bow.

The Greek Under 21 international striker, signed for £500,000, came on in the second half -- as did ten other Burnley substitutes -- and had a real battle with Portuguese international Abel Xavier which immediately won over a crowd who had already welcomed his introduction.

He seemed lively and the supporters will be keen to have another look at him soon.

And they will also be eager to see one of Burnley's trialists, Arthur Gnohere, again as he certainly entertained.

The French 22-year-old looked assured in the centre of the defence from the moment he came on in the 55th minute but, although he was a crowd pleaser, the manager would have had his heart in his mouth on a couple of occasions if the game had been played for points.

He dribbled with the ball at the back but escaped to the cheers of the fans, battled hard with the Everton forwards and then showed what he could do at the other end just failing to connect with a Paul Cook cross to the far post.

Another trialist Alan Moore, released from Middlesbrough at the end of last season, played some quality crosses into the box and made Burnley a threat with some accurate corners.

And the final player out to try and earn a contract, Paul Hughes, started in the centre of the park alongside Kevin Ball and he too showed some neat touches although Everton did dominate the midfield in the first half.

The fans were also treated to another debut, that of reserve goalkeeper Luigi Cennamo.

The Greek-Italian keeper, on a six month contract at Turf Moor, took over between the sticks and although there was one scary moment where he punched the ball when the crowd were shouting 'catch', he looked like another Nik in the nets.

And it was worth the entry fee to see a classy goal from Everton.

Steve Watson had whipped in a couple of crosses from the right wing and this one landed right on the head of Duncan Ferguson at the far post.

He could have gone for goal six yards out but instead headed it down for Niclas Alexandersson who blasted the ball into the net, giving Michopoulos no chance.

It was a quality goal from a quality side who passed the ball about well and Kevin Campbell and Ferguson were a handful up front.

But saying that, the Clarets probably took more plus points out of the game. Winger Glen Little showed that some Premier defences aren't good enough to stand in his way when he is on one of his jinking runs although the final balls were easily cleared.

And Paul Unsworth, who was tracking Little for most of the time he was on, must have questioned the words 'friendly game' as the two almost came to blows -- leading to the former West Ham player bearing the brunt of the home crowd's jeers.

Gareth Taylor had a couple of half chances in his opening partnership with Ian Moore and the latter, the Clarets £1m record buy, looked lively although the Everton defence would hardly give either an inch.

Little did get the better of them with a defence-splitting ball to Moore in the early stages but goalkeeper Steve Simonsen -- who Wigan are thought to be tracking -- was able to block his shot.

The home defence was tested with some slick balls from midfield but Ian Cox and Steve Davis did manage to keep Campbell and Ferguson quiet some of the time although the Toffees duo worked well together.

After the break it was a tale of substitutions as Burnley changed their entire line-up -- eventually going three up front so Andy Payton could get a run out when he replaced Steve Davis.

Walter Smith also swapped and changed making it hard to keep track of who was and who was not on the pitch.

The game opened up as it lost a little of its shape and that made it more entertaining for the fans who weren't sure what was going to happen next.

There were a couple of half chances on the Burnley goal but again Cennamo saved with his legs from Thomas Graveson and Gnohere blocked a Joe-Max Moore shot.

Gnohere was here, there and everywhere for the Clarets while Payton and Tony Ellis tried their luck up front without being able to make a big impact.

All in all, it was probably a fair result, but for the Clarets fans they couldn't be too disappointed after having almost all the Clarets on show -- there was only John Mullin and Lennie Johnrose left on the bench at the end -- and seeing a host of new ones grace Turf Moor.
