Everton in EUROPE

[stevedeblue]

Iv read about Blues saying Everton should field a weekend side this week, I totally disagree with this for the following reasons at a time when we need to big making a noise on a stage outside of the UK this competition gives us that chance to impress possible buyers.Another reason for a win this Thursday would leave us looking a cert to top the the group and win it,and of course the lift the team would get from beating a Benfica side,what is it they say wins breed confidence.One more thing is I want this trip I make to be up there with the best

agreed completely, our players didn't play poorly because of fatigue, confidence and belief were low, we need a good strong win to boost our form, coming back with a win against a big european competitor would give our team a lot of confidence that would probably carry over to better domestic form.

how can you play a week-end side in mid-week?

but you're quite right. we should be looking to win this to help secure our progression in this competition.

In any case it's not DM's style. Maybe when qualification for next round is assured, but until then he would never field a weakened side.

We need to start playing, and there's no better opportunity to put things right than the next match.

this.

Even on the last game of the season last year when we already had Europa league confirmation and the week before the FA cup final, he still played the strongest team.

I think the europa league is our best hope this season. What does everyone else think?

Best hope in way of silverware, surely not, I think the League Cup represents our best chance of a trophy in 15 long years, and Moyes is taking it seriously as I understand.

I was looking at some of the caliber of teams in the UEFA cup this season, there's already half a dozen ex-European Cup winners involved, and although British clubs have done well in recent years, it would be one hell of an achievement to win this tournament as it stands.

Not having 'Europa League', no matter what nobody says.
