Unlucky Lyon!

[mc_red22]

So close there. World class Davies nearly deflected it into his own net.

To be fair it would have been one of his best goals.

[Dim Glas]

Lyon do have a mistake in 'em, that defence is not at all assured.

[FlashGordon]

Milan shouldn't be favourites for this trophy they're shocking.

[Dim Glas]

Memphis the dopey sod, should be doing much better there.

[jillcwhomever]

If he had put any pace on that ball it would have been 2-0 there.

how they doing in the league?  I know they bought a load of new players in the summer at great expense!

Zenit look like the best team to me. Fancied them to win it before the season started. Could be some very good teams dropping into this tournament this year though.

[Adam_LFC]

I'm torn because at this rate we won't be playing Koeman's Everton in December.

We could be playing "Unsy"'s Everton though.

[Dim Glas]

they held in the booooos there

Bit lucky not to be 2-0 down really, althoug Lyon don't look very safe in defence either. 

[Pistolero]

Decent game this...Lyon look tidy

[jillcwhomever]

0-1 half time.

Lyon don't do safe in defence. They've conceded 15 in 9 Ligue 1 matches, score loads though.

Well the transfer window doesn't open till January, so we will be.  It just wont be Koeman who's managing them. 

[Lush is the best medicine...]

had a fiver on lazio at 33s a while ago, not a bad bet that

[Desert Red Fox]

Was Davy Klaassen still on the pitch by the end of the first half? Really?

[12C]

Davis and Mirallas are getting stuck in but the lack of pace is evident when the French break.

[Gerry Attrick]

Really good team, I just wonder how seriously they'd take it if they're in with a shot of a top 3 or 4 finish in Serie A.

[FlashGordon]

Haven't watched much but they're languishing in 10th I think. Decided to tune in to their game as they were being labelled the entertainers of the competition, big mistake and that's 45th minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Yeah Gerry looks likely the winner will come from one of the teams dropping down. I'll have to tune in to Zenit's next match to see what they're like.

that's the other game that's on the tv here too, but I swerved it, don't really do Italian teams at the best of times!

[FiSh77]

nothing you can do about it, 6 or 7 weeks to go i think? they're fuckin shite and no chance he'll still be in the job then so just sit back and laugh at them

war chest lad, power shift lad, bramley moor lad, better squad lad, better manager lad etc etc 

[FlashGordon]

Thought it would be good to catch Suso and Donnaruma but neither have impressed, Donnaruma has been quite error prone in all honesty and looks like an 18 year old goalkeeper.

[Dim Glas]

Klassen subbed off, no surprise there, he was dreadful.

[jillcwhomever]

How the hell is that a free kick for Everton? 

[12C]

No malice in the boot to the head by Davis
Oh that’s OK then

[Desert Red Fox]

Klassen subbed off, no surprise there, he was dreadful.

better than Wijnaldum tho

[Fiasco]

We're going to do some unholy things to this Everton side. Can you imagine Salah, Mane, Coutinho and Bobby getting into the positions the Lyon forwards are getting in tonight? It could be a massacre.

[Desert Red Fox]

Lyon wasting all these chances ugh

[Dim Glas]

Mirallas is one scary looking dude.

Lyon have missed 4 or 5 good chances now.

[Pistolero]

close again by Lyon....

Say nothing of Lallana pressing them high.

[Fiasco]

Say nothing of Lallana pressing them high.

True. He'll be the enabler, just wasn't sure if he'll definitely be back by then but he should be. They are just ripe for us.

[Pistolero]

said it  before on here but Brad Friedel is an excellent pundit / co-commentator...puts every single one of his UK counterparts to shame

[jillcwhomever]

That was a awful challenge from Goodman. Getting the practice in already then.

[Fiasco]

Good fella is Brad. Had a decent career after he left us.

[Dim Glas]

yeah he's one of the better ones, he's had a couple little sarcy comments about Everton too

But he doesn't talk rubbish, he's calm, even keeled, he does a decent job of it.

[Desert Red Fox]

now it's time for Gylfi "turned down the RS" Siggurdsson!
