....up the Toffees but it is all a bit depressing.

Win for us 3 nil, then we go on our winning streak and put the last 4 months behind us coyb!

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Am hoping he ditches his Gueye-Schneiderlin midfield safety net for this one and brings in Davies to partner one or the other. Show some adventure.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

The only saving grace for us has been that out of the 8 games played in total in our group, 6 of them have been draws.

Sounds good to me. COYB's, lets get it done.

Four games. The only game to not end in a draw was Atalanta's bumming of us.

 

[VaguelyBrown]

They're gonna bum us, obviously.

Prolly won't even bother with the lube, the naughty buggers

 

[marnie]

The Lyons will roar and the ginger beast will fall.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

I never expect us to lose. 8-0 to Everton.

You okay, Ian?

You okay, Ian?

Yeah, I'd like to see Holgate rested for the Arsenal game. I'm not convinced by Kenny at this level, yet. But I do see what you're saying.

 

[D410]

Lost count of the amount of "Must Win" games for the manager.
If they collapse to a weak Lyon side tomorrow then it will be very toxic.

 

[Ducans elbow]

Been following the Blues for 50 odd years so seen a lot of awful sides,the trouble is we thought this bloke was the real deal what a dud bought a few flakes time for him to go I think the player's are S_&- scared of him.

 

[Furey1878]

Yeah, I'd like to see Holgate rested for the Arsenal game. I'm not convinced by Kenny at this level, yet. But I do see what you're saying.

Fair enough, mate. Personally think Holgate is capable of playing both if Kenny isn't given the nod (I think he's a shoe-in for Chelsea though).

Anyway, other than Martina that's pretty much the team I wanna see against Lyon too. That or 4-3-3 with a front 3 of Rooney, DCL and Sandro, which I maintain looked our best forward line way back against Stoke.
