Match Thread Olympique Lyonnaise v Everton

Just think a couple of weeks back people were convinced we could get Ancelotti lol.

Lol! Those managers are above this kind of scenario. Even Koeman didn't have the guts to deal with a relegation scrap. His prayers were answered when they sacked him.

I know we aren't any better then Watford right now mate but being just as good/bad (take your pick!) as them right now with us as bad as we are leaves me feeling confidant enough in this awful side to think with home advantage we can beat them.

I would agree if I thought being at home was a particular advantage to us, but it's not. I've been at Goodison for every home game and seen absolutely nothing to inspire any confidence.

Anyway, I hope you're right and we scrape a win, but this is a serious low point for us.

Was always going to be tough tonight, but the dire football served up once again, shows the state of the current team. Unsworth has tried different players and different formations. However the players aren't either good enough or lack the confidence to implement his plans. Massive, massive game on Sunday, we somehow need to dig out a win no matter what.

We need to accept we’re in a relegation fight. I really don’t see the rationale in denying that.

...some still think he's in the hat mate.

lol

BOSS aren't we.

Well they haven't realised there's a hole in the hat and Ancelotti jumped out of it a couple of weeks back, or he wasn't in it in the first place. Big SAMs our level and I'll welcome him, I feel a bit sorry for Unswortn and glad he's had a chance but anyway in our position big SAMs more use to us than Ancelotti.

Would it be worth taking Pickford out of the frame now and put Robles back in till we can hopefully steady up? Being relegated with Sunderland now heading in the same direction.

Dear fans of Everton... you are not aware of that but your team is cursed now... last 20 years every club wich throw Hajduk Split out of european competition finished or out first league or in bancropt or stop to exist... check it if you dont believe it

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Yeah hope.....I remember that.

...gawd, remember that, all that hope...the takeover, the big shouldered, Euro minded manager, the BIG early door transfers, the new ground.

Great times.

May they rest in peace (pieces?)

We're madly in the shiiiiiiit.

Exactly

It's a combination of apathy and arrogance

That jacket is massive

Where do you think he keeps all the pies?

 

[AndyZ]

Anybody who thinks we don't need survival specialist Allardyce this season is deluded. Get him in.

 

[stretford blue]

Who sanctioned Lukaku leaving without a replacement in place? The Board did. Disgrace

Think we can all argue about koeman Walsh etc and recruitment but the bottom line is lukaku should not have left the club before replacements were brought in

Who is denying it?
