Match Thread Olympique Lyonnaise v Everton

[LiamG]

Play a striker upfront in a must win game? lol

Because bringing on DCL worked like a charm.

 

[Fansince1988]

I can't really argue with that.

I dunno, at least he's quick. lol

What we have at our disposal at the moment, Rooney should be striker, yes people say he isn't a number 9 and all that, but he is a great goalscorer, he should be told not to drop back and just concentrate on getting in goal scoring positions. Then if we play two up front Niasse should play. DCL should be nowhere near the first team (I've never really rated him).

We are so so Brexit.

Oh

I posted something similar to this and now two of my mates from separate friend groups are having a massive Brexit argument!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

I keep jumping in with Everton comments.

The Atalanta home game should not be £20 it should be a pound or free!

Played behind CLOSED doors.

 

[eurosrees]

I can’t remember the last time we created a decent goal scoring opportunity.

We'll have Big Sam in by then mate......a thundering 0-0.

 

[Muggins]

He’s had Chelsea away, Leicester with a new manager away, and Lyon away in the space of 11 days.

What could anyone else have done with this squad?

I can answer that mate. Stop the hoofball, start closing down players, drive forward, and start shooting. It’s not Unsworth, he’s just in the firing line and could not say no.

Some serious conversations need to happen between the players and the manager behind the scenes. Or maybe the players are paid too much money to care? I mean care like we do. They should care like we do right? Am I being naive in thinking it’s about pride and leading by example to our club community. It has to start with the 11 in the pitch and it filters down to make us all try to be better. To be involved in something great.

Short of a miracle, Watford will absolutely batter us.

You know I try to be fair Grouch. I’m just so frustrated and sad. Not because we aren’t Man City current quality, but because we are getting smashed and embarrassed every week and no one would put their houses on Everton turning this around, and no one can explain it. We need the executioners bong back. Just for my sanity.

It’s like punishment for daring.

I agree about Rooney. I think Rooney drops deep as he gets frustrated he hasn't got the pace he used to but you don't need pace to score, he just needs to adapt his game and drop off the defender to find space.

I would have played Sandro tonight as Niasse wasn't eligible. Risky, I know but we know he can score, he's already done it in a major league, unlike DCL.

 

[Muggins]

If we had played with a forward from the start we would have lost 9-0. Figure that one out

I don’t know mate. Would have it had been as bad as what we watched tonight. Opposition have to react when they are attacked. Tonight we did nothing.

I can’t remember the last time we created a decent goal scoring opportunity.

About 40 minutes ago when Gueye decided to tap his shot like a 3 year old kid taking his first shot with a ball.

But i do get your point

 

[Jamiednm]

I’m surprised the media aren’t prefixing ‘Everton’ with ‘crisis-club’ yet. They’re slow on the uptake.

 

[justatoffeefan]

I think we are

 

[arch stanton]

Played behind CLOSED doors.

Forfeit the game, that way we only 'lose' 0-3

Ah yeah, I was napping when that happened.

 

[justatoffeefan]

I'd rather not get embarrassed any more. Can we just give all the points away to the teams we should be playing

I think we are doing that anyway but at least it would spare us having to sit through 90 minutes of dog turdishness

 

[coollino]

I'm just pleased I'm the worst armchair fan ever.
