Lyon v Everton

[Gash]

So this has become a bit of a mates day out and a chance for Unsworth to take some of his kids on a bit of a jolly to get first team experience. I'm guessing the stories of the board being very concerned about relegation are true and we've not to bother ourselves with cups or any other distractions.

What a fucking depressing downturn this season's taken.

[Waltzer]

This is embarrassing. If we get a hiding tomorrow, which is possible, how is this going to affect moral for those involved.  It doesn't look good for us but this was an opportunity for the players to maybe find a bit of form, a decent performance And we've basically thrown in the towel

[Heisenberg]

Don't get it at all. We played 38 games last season for this. Makes you think doesn't it, whats the point?

People paying weeks worth of wages to go and watch this. Everton just doesnt have heart anymore. Fight will you. Jesus

[School of Science]

So has this turned into or come into the category of another expected defeat then ? Seriously getting pissed off with this season already.

Reckon we'll go old school 4-4-2 and sit back. Should be a joy to watch!

Hoping for a good game today and a chance taken in returning to some decent kind of form.

Not expecting miracles but some confidence building would be brilliant.

I can understand his decision to be honest. He’s getting pressure from all sides to turn it around. If he takes it seriously and gets a bumming which to be fair is quite likely then it’s part of the story and pressure mounts.

I just want a reaction from the players - 30 mins against Chelsea isn’t enough hasn’t been a sufficient reaction to think we can turn a corner. Regardless of who we pick and who we’re playing, a new manager should be able to give the players a lift to get results. And I’m not pointing the finger at Unsworth - I’m accusing the players of not having the ability or bottle. Be interested to see how we play tonight.

It was also an opportunity to go into the Watford game completely fucked and lose another home game against "one of the beatable sides"  would have a far more negative impact on both team morale and supporters morale, if we lose by a couple of goals only tonight but get three points on Sunday it will have paid off.

Be interesting to see if it’s the normal team minus the senior players who need a rest.

Or whether it’s a complete second string with most of the normal players on the bench.

Whatever it’s very tough away from home in Europe against teams from the top 5 leagues.

Just hope to see some leassons learned from Leicester and try to play with organisation / solid midfield and be in the game with 20 mins to go.

Getting up at 5 for this. Don't fuck me, Everton.

Question is, at this point what would constitute a confidence building performance?

Only losing 3-0?

[Audrey Horne]

Going to win tonight, i for one, cant wait....
