Match Thread Olympique Lyonnaise v Everton

[TomMcCann]

Pickford
Kenny Holgate Williams Martina
Schneiderlin klaassen
Lennon Sigurdsson Vlasic
Sandro
That’s what I think he’ll go for tomorrow.

All this tells me is that Unsworth should in no way shape or form be our next boss. We're going out tomorrow. I doubt that that will be a surprise to anyone.

I'm kinda glad we will be out tomorrow tho mate as it leaves us to concentrate on the league.

normally convince myself we are going to win no matter who we are playing , but I really cant see it, Lyon by 3

I hope he plays Sandro upfront with lookman and Vlasic either side to support him. Sigurdsson just behind.

Still think Sandro is a good player, he just hasn’t had any service with the bizarre team selections so far.

Yes I agree, this game is perfect for Unsworth to try Sandro, he has been awful since he arrive from Spain but I'm sure there's a player in there, one goal and it could all click. I won't hold my breath though.

Any idea what the full squad was that travelled? I would have thought Garbutt would replace Baines at LB.

Starting to get the feeling that he's looking to set us up defensively tomorrow night. Reckon he'll just want to avoid a pasting at all costs.

Garbutt isn't registered for the Europa League.

I usually don't like that tactic but I think here, the longer we keep it nil-nil the better. We have to score first or it's over.

Working tomorrow night so cannot watch this and its probably for the best. Expecting another dismal performance and another defeat.

I hate that we're going out, but under the current circumstances, you're right, it is probably for the best. Seriously doubt we're getting through this group now no matter who he plays, but be nice if he didn't just throw in the towel before we've kicked off.

They should be using every match to try to find a combination that works, build confidence, and start to get things settled. Not resting a few members of the squad for home games against Watford in November. Can't believe we are still overlooking the absolute basics.

We've strengthened the squad by leaving the players we have behind (except for Keane).

 

[witchdoc187]

We're just absolutely gash at absolutely everything. Another tonking coming our way.

 

[Lob]

Can only see us being beaten in this or in any game we play currently. Would of course be awesome (and miraculous) if the unexpected happened and we somehow beat them. Cant remember the last time i enjoyed watching them and expecting tomorrow to be no different.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

I reckon Unsy will go for it, death or glory stuff.

We'll either win 4-3 or lose 4-0. And it will bring back memories of Bobby Brownshoes at his finest
