Match Thread Olympique Lyonnaise v Everton

[Blue Juice]

The most bizarre line-up I think we will see in a long long time

 

[Yankfootball1]

Gonna be interesting to watch Siggy drive a dangerous free kick into the box and get on the end of it

That made me laugh out loud

 

[Albertini78]

Some of you want him to get the job ... Sorry like but hes way out his depth that team

Expected the defence with what was available.

Expected Gana and Schneiderlin after how terrible we were on the counter v Leicester.

Didn't expect 3 DM's in a game we need to win.

Didn't expect to have no strikers on the pitch at all.

Remember the days of taking a knife to a gun fight, well today we've brought a plastic spoon​

 

[Zezti]

Hopefully it confuses Lyon as much as it is us...

Thats the spirit....No keeper....we'll show em.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I wouldn't say we are parking the bus necessarily. If Gana and Morgs were in form, I think we could really cause this team some problems with the way we have set up. I don't think either are really playing well enough to make this work though.

It also means Sigurdsson rather strangely IS the focal point mate, no hiding and has to turn up tonight, glad he's gambled because just to trot out the same stuff thats not working - what really is the point

tell you what - no chance on earth Lyon have trained to play against this system though lol

That's what I'm looking forward to more about the game tonight mate, no hiding for him, he's the one who will have to make us tick.

 

[Kurt.]

That team..... and some of you want him as permanent boss. Unsy my arse. .. more like Funsy.... as he is laughing at you.

0-0 at half time is good can take off one of the dms and put vasic and calvert lewin on

 

[mutley]

Feel sorry for Lookman tonight, 3 forward thinking players in the team,
he hasn't got a chance.

 

[everton2004]

Three DMs and no striker! Unsworth must be trolling us

 

[bluestevon]

If Koeman put that team out he'd be getting a hammering on here.

Who cares mate, so will Unsowrth if it goes tits up, if it works on the other hand - all credit for trying something

 

[Elong]

People want him to have the top job eh?

Jesus wept.

 

[Mosh Pit]

If Koeman put that team out he'd be getting a hammering on here.

The team that looks good on paper, isn't necessarily our best team. The players are clearly lacking confidence, I'm fully behind Rhino trying to make something happen!
May be a disaster, may be great. Lets wait & see
