Match Thread Everton vs Lyon 19 October, 20:05

[Bungle]

A quick word to anyone like myself who is making their way down to Goodison tonight:

Just get behind the team from the off, please. I don't subscribe to the notion that the atmosphere is one thing contributing to the poor form, but what I do know is that tonight could well be a season defining game for us and as such, even if we go a goal down, we've gotta rally behind the team.

Forget what you think of the manager, Everton need to win this for Everton and for the fans, not Ronald Koeman's future.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sorry mate but I am booing from the minute I walk through the turnstile if Williams and Sigurdsson are in the team.

I might even get off at half-time.

No arguments there, lad.

Agree. Koeman could do the players a favour tonight by actually picking a sensible team with shape and width but we all know that's not going to happen. As a result, the performance will likely be dire and the fans will get on the players backs. If that Guardian team is true the outcome is inevitable.

Predicted line up from the Guardian: Everton (possible): Pickford; Holgate, Keane, Williams, Baines; Gueye, Schneiderlin, Klaassen; Sigurdsson, Rooney, Calvert-Lewin.

He’s actively trying to get the sack if he plays that.

Shocking as we've been most of the season and much as I dislike Koeman, I still can't see an Everton team getting nothing out of tonight and the next 2 games. Surely the law of averages has to operate for us at some point?

All things equal, sure, but the law of averages doesn't account for Ronald Koeman and poor players.

3-1 Lyon

 

[Efcjake]

I would cry for a thousand summers if that was the team.

Get some Kleenex handy then because I've got a feeling that is exactly what we will see.

I've got zero confidence in us anymore.

 

[carolinablue232]

would be good to go with something like this

pickford
kenny keane jags baines
gana
davies rooney
vlasic kev
DCL


ganas only job is to win the ball and cover fullbacks just stay as a shield for the defence

Swap Rooney for Sig, and I like it. Kev should 100% start tonight in my opinion. He won't though.

this on itv?

 

[Azza]

I've been practising my booing all day. Can't wait.

No, BT Sports 2

 

[KaiserEFC]

It’s a sad fact that we will know the result when the lineup is announced. No drastic changes, no dramatic win.

 

[sharkey1001]

line up, keeper the odd defender, loads of midfielders and a striker

A what?

 

[mahermi1]

According to sky team news, Keane and Jagielka both missing, Christ any enthusiasm I had for this match is rapidly disintegrating.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but for anyone in the US, it looks like the game is on FS1
