Was cursing Rom's touch seconds before that goal. Clueless me. Cracking goal!

Krasnodar vs Lille score?

1-1 last I heard

....not set up to shut up shop now McCarthy has gone off so I expect close encounters of the 2nd half.

Not sure why McCarthy stayed on, you just can't run a hammy off. Great, though, seeing us on this stage pitting our ability against a very good side. Could end up anything this one.

*deletes all mentions of Eto'o being boss from the preview.

He's been bad so far.

Doesn't matter - he's Samuel Eto'o, therefore boss.

 

[maccavennie]

Great team goal, absolute gem of a touch from Ossie. Gutted about McCarthy, hope he's o.k. Garbutt has been superb and reading the game very well. Great block by Jags. Boss finish by Rom. Besic has looked tidy. Come on boys let's finish these off without any more bloody injuries COYB! !!

 

[sageyefc]

Besics been really good, taking command and trying to drive forward, great slidey too


Distin shouldve buried that header, was a boss corner from garbutt

 

[EFCPaul]

 

[Groucho]

So we've qualified?

Because of the other result?

*KTSCH...sound of beer can opening from fridge.....

 

[banno]

Very pleased. People keep saying we are 2nd best but come on....we are playing a decent German team here and they would give anyone problems. Don't know about Wolfsburg but look at the players we have out....its credit to the squad that Martinez is building. Impressed with Besic and Garbutt. Keep it up 2nd half lads.

 

[Jxg]

McGeady though is neither use nor ornament in this game. Gives the ball away constantly.
How we are in front (and Distin should have scored) is one of those footballing mysteries.
Lukaku is a finisher...end of. And there are not a lot around as good as him at it. Money well spent

So was Jela until he decided that scoring was overrated...

 

[Howards tipple]

Agree about the corner. Good to see Garbutt beat the first man!! How un-Everton is that?!

 

[Professor Toffee]

Perisic is a damn good footballer!

 

[toffeejack]

will still take a draw like. obviously fortunate to be ahead, but we've played alright. hibbert's giving a bit of eye aids, especially when he continues to back off when one on one. and mccarthy's injury is another downer, struggling to think of the last game we played where nobody actually got injured.

but a truly wonderful goal. god knows where their defence was but the lay off from mcgeady was sublime and a great ball from i think osman off balance, perfect through ball from mirallas and then calm and composed from lukaku after an initial poor touch. great strength and when he got to the area you knew it would hit the back of the net.

keep it up blues.

oh wow, never realised how great mirallas' set up was in real time - superb touch

....I like Perisic, looks a proper player.
