Where are people going to meet up on match for a few drinks

There is no were near the ground...big square in the centre where the coaches are dropping off

 

[Arteta2391]

Stop it Europa Lague we are already dead

 

[Eggs]

Expecting fringe players will play show signs of life then all be dropped on Sunday.

...Unsworth wants the job, another defeat won’t help his ambition. I think he’s trying to find a winning combination and that effort will continue, problem is it’s looking increasingly like moving deckchairs on the Titanic.

How many going over for this. ?

 

[mglennon]

Yes I am. We're on the 7am Ryanair flight from Manchester on Wednesday morning.

We are getting evening flight from Manchester. On the booze in Brussels then train Thu to Lyon.

Its almost like there's been too much choice and change that nothing has a chance to gel or work

Vieux Lyon or Place des Terreaux are the best places for a drink apparently.

Vieux Lyon having more “pub” type places

Let us know how you get on with the tickets. Our group is short of one ticket so hoping to sort from the ticket office when we get there on Thursday. And if you manage to get a spare I'd happily take one!

In the Europa league is it possible to just play u23’s, or do you have to play those players named in your Europa league squad?

I’m asking because I don’t see the point of this competition now, we are already out, therefore, if we can, we should play the young players, let them get some valuable experience and let the senior team prepare for the premier league game against Watford, which we need to win.

Stek
Kenny Holgate Williams Garbutt
Beni Davies. Klassen
Vlasic. Niasse Lookman.

Mainly playing Williams because I don't want him starting Sunday. And Niasse a chance to score get his confidence up.

We need width to create chances! More balls in the box to cause problems, just need DLC to be on the end of them, Lennon and kev need to play as wide as they can and push forward so Rooney an klassen can provide them with the ball that's how we need to play, these stray long balls trying to play direct the koeman way has got us in the relegation zone and out of the Europa! Now unsworth has come in the past two games you can see the difference to the way we play, wide and causing some problems. So have hope fellow blues we still have a team who can play and turn this around with the right attitude and commitment. We just need to shake out of that koeman style of play
