Match Thread Everton v Atalanta BC

Decent line up that in theory.

Just me that thinks that team sends a big message to Rooney?

Pathetic team. Even worse Rooney is a part of it because no matter whether you think he's played well or not, he is better than that grouping.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Kevin 'waste of space' Mirallas getting a game ahead of Vlasic. Even after being sent home from training for being unprofessional. Disgusting.

 

[RomanReigns]

vlas is alive!

Lol @ wayne

 

[ToffeeTim]

No vlasic. Bizarre. Unsy has some front on him for without doubt the worst everton boss since Walker

 

[captainvindaloo]

I am going with the theory this is the B team, and most will not be playing Sunday.

 

[jackyboy]

Quite like that line up haha.

 

[bicycleheader]

Allies allez allez ooooooh

0-0 eyesore of a draw on the way

 

[Stanley Parker]

Very badly, I would I would imagine.

Group winners are seeded in the draw and so they avoid the CL drop outs and they get to play the second leg at home in the first knock out round.

And they will want to win tonight and hope Lyon either don't win or win by no more goals than they do at Goodson so a draw in that final game will see them top the group either on points or by virtue of their superior goal difference.

Indeed the top spot will not be decided until their head to head....but a win tonight might just make that task considerably easier for Atalanta next month.

Although Atalanta are obviously taking the competition more seriously than we are, they are not likely to win it.

Perhaps they would like the excitement of playing a big name in the next round.

Vlasic can't even get a start in a meaningless game. What a joke. Nice one Rhino

 

[Everton 1878 NSNO]

wlliams and cuco spells bad defeat

 

[4737carlin]

Line up us exactly right, the fringe getting game time, no Vlasic as he us first 11

 

[Kantareller]

Clean sheet today.

Well, play their cards right tonight they can have the best of both worlds.....a good, winnable tie in the first knockout round and a "big name"in the epround after.

I mean....this is a Serie A club here.

They play big name clubs in the league on a regular basis.

They ain't some Northern Premier League outfit dreaming of a trip to Arsenal or Manchester City
