LOSC Lille v Everton. 23rd Oct at 18.00.

[DualityNSNO]

We were drawing though ?

But we're Everton - we'd probably end up accidentally scoring an own goal from 70 yards out in those 10 seconds ffs.

 

[Chang Elephant]

To be fair to them, he has displaced Lukaku for Belgium. Think Rom's the better player, but clearly not overwhelming at the moment.

Rom scores say 20 a season, Origi around 8 or 10 if lucky

Wind it in, weirdo. He's been terrible and you know it. Get your sexual kicks some way other than being contrary with the intelligence of a peanut. Parody of yourself.

jesus christ.

You're easily wound up eh lad. Go and have a coke and a lie down.

This is a tough group, would not be out of place in the Champions League. Wolfsburg will win it but we are in pole to qualify.

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

How great is hibbo though?
Aside for his Swansea horror-show (his first game back in forever) he has performed above his usual level.
Absolutely love the man.

McGeady a flair player? Not for me, flair players score and create goals regularly. Geeds struggles with the basics like passing the ball 5 yards. It is amazing that he has got to where he has with his limited ability. Saying that he does come up with a moment of magic once in every 30 odd games.

I have watched him since he broke through at Celtic, trust me it doesn't get any better.

Good away European performance I think. We were conservative going forward but we'd have been naive to throw men forward with the pace they had to counter on us. They were the better team for the first 20 but after that we got our foot on the ball and our goal was never under serious threat.

We created the better chances, especially when Lukaku came on and it's a shame we didn't put one away, especially McGeady when he was put through by rom. Jags was out MOTM and their center half (Kjear?) was theirs. Very good all round performance including Martinez. The ref was total wank.

Not convinced they will - home games against Lille and Krasnodar for us. If we do the same thing we did tonight against them in Germany - we'd be top of the group.

Nais has been great since Martinez has been in charge, its obviously an issue with management and team tactics. Nais is a positive and instinctful player, give him some freedom and he will make things happen. He wasn't given that freedom under moyes so ppl talking about how long he has been playing well for is irrelevant, him n martinez work well together, its as simple as that.

Good point crap match

Yes. The wankiness of the ref hasn't been mentioned enough.

Not that I think he changed the game but I think he was a [Poor language removed].

 

[chicoazul]

are we quibbling about a few months? The point is that he was the natural successor to Claus Thomson until he found some form. Anyone denying it would have a red face if they were vaulted on it.

It's Raheem Sterling syndrome.

Runs dead fast and slots occasionally. Will, like Sterling, be finished when he's 25 and his pace is on the wane.

Or if he gets a serious injury.
