LOSC Lille v Everton. 23rd Oct at 18.00.

Been in and out. What happened to Ross? His head I mean, not his play, which hasnt been great, the bits I have seen anyrate.

 

[meagher94]

Martinez has sussed the numbers.

Rested key players (Coleman, McCarthy, Lukaku, Naismith...) and expects us to get through regardless of result here.

Also knows Prem big priority now after poor start.

And rightly so. It's all about winning your home games in these groups, then any away results are a bonus.

 

[BBleck]

Sloppy half all around for Everton. Pienaar in particular hasn't been sharp.

 

[cjohno]

Well we don't need to as 5 points from 3 games with 2 at home to come is a very good position but we have young legs and plenty of quality on the bench to bring on.

well hopefully he brings them on when its still 0-0

 

[DanB90]

Everton to come out storming in the second half.
These Kermits won't know what's hit them.

 

[deipnosophist]

Our close ball control seems a bit sloppy tonight.

 

[R.Reddington]

Lille 0-1 Everton

 

[toffeejack]

Too slow, far too many players not getting involved. Pienaar does my head in throwing himself on the floor needlessly at times.

don't like to see it, but it's the only way we're actually winning free kicks, this ref doesn't seem to do honesty.

 

[sageyefc]

Some quick thoughts at half time.

Distin and hibbo bring our play down so much, hibbos uncomfortableness around a football and distin with his lazy attitude and [Poor language removed] distribuition, the pace out of defence is so slow, needs picking up to set us on the attack faster.

Looks like hibbo can be got at to.

Mcgeady has all the talent in the world but he does sweet FA with it in this team.

Ross needs to drop a bit deeper to get involved

 

[BBleck]

Ref is shocking - I don't see him giving us anything (we deserve)

Would agree with this mate, all close calls going to the frenchies.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Not a bad half, both fairly evenly matched. Barkley has been poor.

 

[toffeejack]

Our close ball control seems a bit sloppy tonight.

that pitch looks a bit dodgy to me, countless times players have fallen over when not off balance or anything

 

[DownunderToffee]

Pienaar is passed it, IMO.

 

[roydo]

And I like Jermaine Jenus as a pundit.

 

[ToffeeDan]

If it wasn't for his pink boots I don't think I'd have noticed McGeady.
