[Jonte]

Good luck, Unsy.

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

At some point we need to try and get past the half way line and kick that round thing towards their goal....you would hope

What a tit Jenas is “you have to sympathise with Koeman” no you don’t, he spent £150m you Bell!

Yes lads great half we really showed Lyon what's up there.

Well... fwiw I think Dunsworth likes to play conservatively in the 1st and attack in the 2nd. He is a grower not a show'er

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

The worst European adventure since Steve Walsh drank Perroni in Milan for a week.

If you've had enough of the fellas our lasses have just kicked off. About the same skill level and tons more passion...

 

[storm1696]

Davy Klaassen. This is your big moment!

Peeling oranges for half time?

I am staggered that Savage was praising Everton for that performance was abysmal.

There is no outball, no communication, little energy against a team that seem to be almost toying with the Everton players.


I personally think you should go into every game trying to win but clearly Unsworth is hoping for a draw . What on earth happens if they score? Just two subs now available.

This is the performance of a no confidence team and an out of his depth manager

oh great.. 7 minutes added, and iw as supposed to take the chicken out of the oven now...

just a little update: The chicken was around 8 minutes longer in the oven than it should have been, so it wasn't as juicy as it should have been. But it was still pretty good.

This is the way to play to get us out of this relegation mess. This is a dress rehearsal for the rest of the season. It's ingenious tactics.
Keep the faith. Sell the lot not playing and bank £100m and we are back on the road again.

I am staggered that Savage was praising Everton for that performance was abysmal.

Perhaps he's taking pity on us. It really is that bad.

 

[banno]

We have no attack whatsoever. I'm assuming the plan was to get to half time level and then change it in the second half.

I will assume that whoever is playing the best will be subbed.

 

[Lob]

Happy to get in without conceding. If we can keep it like this for another 15 or 20 we may get a chance to steal it. Would like to see Vlasic on at some point. Best chance we have of scoring. Has been a threat in every game he has played so far this season. COYB's. Nothing to lose. We are going out as it stands.

So....that's your feeble reason for suggesting that our players don't care about a possible very serious injury to one of their team mates? Get a grip. You compound the disgrace by trying to justify it.

Wow! For a start, I didn't make the original comment. Also, nobody said the players didn't care, what was actually said, was that the Lyon players appeared to care more - this is what the pictures showed. Now if you compare those pictures tonight, to the ones when Coleman broke his leg playing against Wales, he was surrounded by his own team, as well as the opposition - you can see a stark contrast. Are you actually watching this game?

Just for the record - I agree with the original post - the players didn't appear to be as concerned as they should have been. Argue all you like - that is just my opinion. I am not a disgrace, and I am not feeble minded. I am just capable of forming an opinion, one that might be different to yours - it's allowed.

Also - any chance you can stop being so insulting? Isn't really a big ask, is it?

He already was
