2017/18 UEFA Europa League

Love this late kick off time, it's very like La Liga with it's 9 or 10pm starts.

Arsenal fans should be disgusted by this.
I mean singing in the Emirates. It's just not on!

Looking at the messages from hysterical Arsenal fans about away fans in their sections.. a bunch of sheltered clowns.

To be fair there are an abnormal amount of children at the match tonight due to the pricing structure of the tickets, so having Koln fans with flares beside you might be disconcerting.

What a goal!

Nail, head. Koeman needs to find a way past the failure to purchase a decent striker. Looking like a crowd taken from a local pub currently.

Mr.Nice Guy

I'm very interested to see Everton vs Lyon. Everton are badly in need of a boost and a poor result will increase the pressure on Koeman. Lyon have been exciting to watch but defensively they are very suspect. Their last three games in Ligue 1 have ended 3-2, 3-3 and 3-3. I think that could be the game of the evening. Looking forward in particular to seeing how Fekir and Mariano Diaz get on.

Nice vs Lazio could be another good one and I'm sure Balotelli will be eager to impress against Italian opposition. Nice are in very poor form though while Lazio are doing very well so I'd fancy the away side to get the win there.

Jelle1880

Östersund 2-1 up against Bilbao, and on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stages.
After getting promoted to the Swedish top league last year...

Mr.Nice Guy

Lazio beat Nice 3-1 away after Balotelli had given Nice the lead. Dante was very poor for all the Lazio goals.

Shame Mariano Diaz isn't available for the Everton game. Team news:

Everton XI: Pickford; Holgate, Keane, Williams, Martina; Schneirderlin, Davies, Klaasen; Mirallas, Vlasic, Calvert-Lewin.

Lyon XI: Lopes; Marcal, Diakhaby, Marcelo, Tete; Aouar, Tousart; Depay, Fekir, Traore; Maolida.

Mr.Nice Guy

Penalty to Lyon!

And Fekir scores!

Update: Lyon go in at the break leading 1-0. They are worthy of the lead and have had the better chances. Fekir is causing lots of problems in attack. Depay had a deflected free-kick hit the crossbar and missed a good chance when clear on goal. Traore has done well down the wing. Tete has impressed at right-back too.

Davies has probably been Everton's best player. Mirallas has been good at times too. Everton overall though look very toothless in attack.

Mr.Nice Guy

It all kicked off there. Williams pushes the goalkeeper Lopes to the ground. There's a big scuffle down near the fans and some of the fans start throwing punches at the players!

Actually having seen the replay it was more like slaps from the fans than punches but UEFA will not be happy with that.

Nuts scene. What on earth was Williams at. He look demented as his staff held him away.

Fans then step back once the players put it up to them.

And now Williams equalises! Would you believe it!

One of them was holding a small child while getting involved. Crazy.

Everton very close to taking the lead. Lyon not as good since Fekir was subbed.

Harry Palmr

UEFA should throw them out! Closed stadium for the rest of the group stage at the very least.

WinnyThePoo

Cornet with a decent cross and traore with a nice finish.

ERG89

Montella & Milan put me to sleep tonight. Listless & uninspired.

Mr.Nice Guy

Lyon score! May be an O.G. but lovely play from Traore. Just when it looked like Everton were on top.

Edit: Looks like Traore has been given it.

WinnyThePoo

Williams should be brought off.


Edit:just realised everton have used all their subs.

Decuc500

For the talent they have, Everton are very poor. Williams is a thug.

MD1990

Koeman looks like he has slept or washed in days.

What a disgrace this man is. Different angle shows he holding his child.

https://twitter.com/InsideN17/status/921110841008717824

Mr.Nice Guy

Full-Time and Lyon win 2-1. Lyon you'd have to say were deserving winners and it could have been even more humiliating for Everton as they should have been down to ten men, while Lyon spurned plenty of chances.

Fekir was excellent before his substitution and Aouar and Tousart (19 and 20 respectively) won the midfield battle. I thought Depay was disappointing. Traore had some good moments and some poor moments but his goal was very good.

It's hard to find any positives for Everton with the exception of Pickford. I think Koeman will do very well to be Everton manager going into November.

Nice win by Lyon. I fear that may be the end of Koeman though

Mr.Nice Guy

Teams for Lyon and Everton are in which kicks off at 6 pm.

Lyon XI: Lopes, Rafael, Marcelo, Diakhaby, Mendy, Tousart, Ndombele, Cornet, Fekir, Memphis, Traore.

Everton XI: Pickford, Kenny, Williams, Holgate, Martina, Schneiderlin, Baningime, Gueye, Lennon, Sigurdsson, Lookman.

Disappointed Mariano Diaz is on the bench for Lyon but I expect he'll feature at some point. Looking forward to seeing Fekir again as he's in great form and deservedly got called up to the French squad earlier.

That Everton team looks pretty poor to me. Lookman leading the line?

I expect there to be a bit of bad blood between these sides after the game in Goodison. Hopefully there's plenty more drama.

ERG89

Milan are playing so bad it's depressing. It's been like this for a while too

~Rebel~

Serious lack of goals so far... 4 full matches worth of minutes been played (360+) and only 2 goals.

Mr.Nice Guy

Looks like Everton's Martina is in a bad way after an awkward fall. He's going to be stretchered off. Long delay as they have to be careful with his neck.
