Match Thread Olympique Lyonnaise v Everton

[Abraders]

Whether DCL comes on or not this is about the best we can ask for without a good attacking threat.

DCL comes on he puts himself about a bit but still has issues holding up the ball to allow the others in to the game.

Like it or not this is a good performance so far and best we can hope for with how poor our options going forward are.

Playing siggy up front is diabolical, pointless

This is the worst European adventure since that time we sent a contingent to Russia to sign a Alex Witzel

3 packets of paracetamol washed down with a glass of blue Domestos for my half time refreshments.

Panic throughout this team. The ginger fathead has left us in a real mess

And the clown before him, aided and abetted by our clueless board

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Can we please stop shitting our players and try to root for the team? We are what we are, and we have the players we have, your whining aint gonna make it better. Ty.

It's not like they're reading this mate. Just saying.

We havent even tried to win mate, 4-6-0 just means we have gone for 0-0.

And it will be that way until Houdini comes in as manager and spends in Jan

 

[pipling]

We have no attack whatsoever. I'm assuming the plan was to get to half time level and then change it in the second half.

We havent even tried to win mate, 4-6-0 just means we have gone for 0-0.

We've gone to not get battered and to then try nick it late on mate, Lyon with a Derby game at the weekend, also theyve been starting matches on fire this season.

let's see what happens second half

 

[Steve Wigan]

Are you watching this game mate? Or do you have SSN on? The pictures, for a long time, focused on Cuco for quite a while. For most of that time, there wasn't any Everton players near him. There were, however, four or five Lyon players. Maybe it was a misleading, but to claim something to be a disgraceful unnecessary comment, when the pictures say otherwise, is a little bit over the top.

So....that's your feeble reason for suggesting that our players don't care about a possible very serious injury to one of their team mates? Get a grip. You compound the disgrace by trying to justify it.

 

[Milkman]

What the hell are some of you expecting? That's a really decent first half. We've been good at the back and the players actually seem to understand who they're meant to be marking. Not worth moaning about.

Offered little up front, but we're so low on confidence at the moment (and we don't have a striker) that what else can you expect?

I'd take off Schneiderlin and stick DCL up front at some point and drop Gylfi into his normal position.

 

[matty1878]

It's all the boards fault. The lot!

 

[Abraders]

Yes lads great half we really showed Lyon what's up there.

 

[maccavennie]

Take Lennon off

I totally understand why he has Lennon on mate, to baby sit Kenny due to his lack of experience but by God can't we at least try and look like we'd like to get past the half way line ffs

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Do people not realise going hell for leather would be suicide, as our team confidence is rock bottom.

Keep it tight and organised and try to nick one late on was the best we could of hoped for before kick off.

Totally agree, we don't exactly make it easy for them, ive always felt this. We're in a big hole atm, were holding a very good Lyon team with an utter patch job of a team, a tiny bit of praise wouldn't go amiss. We're not level because we've been lucky.


Bet you someone will reply saying we have.
