Half time and that was absolutely abysmal nea simply not good enough having 9 men behind the ball whacking it up to a midfielder blagging as a striker who can't jump higher than 9 inches for some reason.

It's anti football, watching Morgan and Gueye get schooled by some 18 year old kid showing more in one half than them 2 have all season.

Treating Lyon as if we are playing a City, Chelsea, Utd away. At some point we've got to try and look like we want to score or create a chance because you can't win a bloody match without trying to at least have a shot at goal ffs
 
Its weird how Kenny and Lennon are a such a double act he moved them both to the left to make room for besic. Explains why Lennon has played every game.
 

Disgraceful,unneccesary comment.
Are you watching this game mate? Or do you have SSN on? The pictures, for a long time, focused on Cuco for quite a while. For most of that time, there wasn't any Everton players near him. There were, however, four or five Lyon players. Maybe it was a misleading, but to claim something to be a disgraceful unnecessary comment, when the pictures say otherwise, is a little bit over the top.
 
Whether DCL comes on or not this is about the best we can ask for without a good attacking threat.

DCL comes on he puts himself about a bit but still has issues holding up the ball to allow the others in to the game.

Like it or not this is a good performance so far and best we can hope for with how poor our options going forward are.

We havent even tried to win mate, 4-6-0 just means we have gone for 0-0.

This absolutely sums up my folly of looking forward to getting in and watching Everton.
 
I thought we have done well. When you see the names on that back 4 can anyone really blame Unsworth for setting us up like he has done.

Recruitment in the summer was shocking. To go into a season with no CF and this defence is criminal.
 
I think we will be more adventurous in the second. Unfortunately, the Besic subs limits how we can approach the 2nd half a bit. Gylfi doesn't have the strength to hold it up and he has had no support either.
