Match Thread Olympique Lyonnaise v Everton

[Berenger]

Focusing on the defence and getting a clean sheet is not a bad idea. Will build confidence. If we can nick a goal, great. With the state of the squad and confidence, we aren't going to batter anyone 3-0.

This club doesn't deserve to have 6000 blues following them to France for a game they don't look that arsed about.

best comment ive seen in this thread mate,spot on

He just wants to put players in their natural positions.

Oh wait he's lied about that again.

You're right @Joey66 Unsy really is two faced!!

Are you still looking in two mirrors?

 

[peteblue]

Well, that’s the first stage of the master plan achieved, now we just need to score 3 goals to complete the strategy. Some of you lot are going to look pretty silly when Unsy steers us through this........

Davy Klaassen. This is your big moment!

 

[Abraders]

What the hell are some of you expecting? That's a really decent first half. We've been good at the back and the players actually seem to understand who they're meant to be marking. Not worth moaning about.

Offered little up front, but we're so low on confidence at the moment (and we don't have a striker) that what else can you expect?

I'd take off Schneiderlin and stick DCL up front at some point and drop Gylfi into his normal position.

We've not been good at the back at all imo.

We're lucky to not be 2 nil down.

1. Sigurdsson isn’t a target man
2. We should have bought Depay
3. We need 2 quality strikers
4. It would be sound if we had said strikers
5. Need a quality centre half
6. We have 6 midfielders on the pitch and the ball bypasses said midfielders with ease
7. I’m sick of Everton being aids
8. I’m quietly optimistic that we will sneak a set piece goal and win 0-1

We've gone to not get battered and to then try nick it late on mate, Lyon with a Derby game at the weekend, also theyve been starting matches on fire this season.

let's see what happens second half

Well at some point you would assume we would stick DCL on and go for it.

Lyon look pretty solid at the back.

This is the worst European adventure since that time we sent a contingent to Russia to sign a Alex Witzel

Or did we?

 

[AndyC]

Considering I feared a 6-0 hammering..

Plus Cuco gets treatment in a French hospital if he’s remembered his E111 (Bill won’t pay for the Air Ambulance)

Not funny that Dan, the lad might not be a fan favourite, but he looked hurt.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Houdini comes in as manager

We haven't had an Italian. Make a nice change.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I miss the first half and came home thinking we must be defending pretty well and we're keeping it tight trying to pinch one... then I saw that defending on the Traore chance LOL

 

[Zezti]

Let me be the 5 millionth person to say; we should have bought a striker.
