Match Thread Olympique Lyonnaise v Everton

[eddy]

This team would struggle in the championship. Kenny, Holgate, DCL and even Davies are nowhere near finished articles and still learning there trade then others such as Jags, Williams, Rooney and Baines are all past it. Schnieds and Gana produce nothing and even struggle to protect the defence. We need Mori, Keane, Coleman back very soon and also Bolasie but the most important thing we need is at least 2 top class strikers in January to get us out this hole.

Carroll and Crouch when Barkley is sold .........

Tonight's result shows why Unsworth won't get the job... And also why the next manager might not last the season either.... If a decent striker isn't signed in January I genuinely believe we'll sack our new manager again in February/March...

Its the boards duty to make 50 million available for a striker, the problem is we need to improve a bit first to look a half decent proposition, we could acually do with 2 a target man and a pacy goal poacher, the board can't risk us going down so they have to be make it happen.

Yep atleast 2... Lukaku, Valencia and Kone not replaced (and niasse was being sold).... Gross incompetence from our board...

I don’t know why people are so perplexed, the issue is still the same as it was when Koeman was here. We don’t have a goal threat, teams realise this and they put us under pressure. The opposition are not worried if they lose the ball and we break, because at the moment it is a 100-1 shot that we will score

It really is as simple as that

 

[Jeff Jones]

I felt like turning it off 6 minutes in. I could see then that nothing was going to change and when Martina got the stupidest yellow I've ever seen
my stomach churned. I mean, a defender on a yellow, for no reason, 6 minutes in. Words fail me.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

We've got the worst squad in the league, we're out of Europe, we're out of the League Cup and we've got just 8 points with well over a quarter of the season gone.

And the club's answer to this crisis is to leave a reserve team manager in charge.

Shambles.

 

[Igrok]

Perhaps Koeman didn’t care, and Unsworth is too nice and comfortable for the players.

Maybe some of them need a few home truths to bring them out of their comfort zone because some of them look un-bothered when we concede.

Battle was already lost in their minds before...

Was going to watch the match but my damn phone told me the score as I went to look at my email...saved me 2 hours.

 

[Albro]

The utter most stupid team we've fielded all year. Glad I didn't wake up at 3AM for this chaos. We buy 4 no.10s, and we only played 1 which is fine, but played him as a striker. SERIOUSLY?. Holgate with Williams? LOL. 3 Defensive midfielders, what on earth.

We have enough players to field two decent teams. Time to be brave.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

One of the biggest concerns has to be the way we just collapse after conceding. You can be out of form, not have brilliant players and struggling but that screams something deeper within the squad. I'm no sports psychologist but surely that's evidence of some serious mentality issues.

For me they're just totally, and I mean totally, devoid of confidence.

Nail on the head

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

That was embarrassing. We were crap all over the park, and it's the senior players who are the worst offenders. They literally don't care, as someone would pick them up even if we got relegated- and they perform like it. Really, really, disappointed in Schneiderlin. First 11 with pace and width play week in and out from now on. They need to learn as a team then introduce the new players slowly.

To be fair, it's not the first time a Frenchman has surrendered meekly in France when confronted with determined opposition

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Actually, would it be against UEFA regulations if we sent our Under 16 Ladies team to Cyprus to play Apollon Limassol? Last thing we need three days before the derby is for our first team to be humbled once again, in an utterly pointless match, and then take a 4-5 hour flight back home with just 48 hours then to prepare for our meeting with the RS.
