The Europa League has gone .
To be honest as much as I wanted us to finish as high as possible I did not think being in this was a good idea .
Yea the idea is to win it as enter Champs League but the amount of games required is crazy .
Anyway given that home to Watford is far more important and teams who play in Europe mid week do notoriously bad I would leave a vast number of them at home!
What team would you put out against Lyon?

I would play a team of youngsters to give them a taste of things to come in the future if they stick with us. A full team of under 21's.

Yes GB and GT I would not want any single player who is to play on Sunday playing in Lyon and that includes Pickford .
Saying we needed to be in it as we had a chance of Champions League was at the very least nieve.
We had as much chance of winning the Prem and the date we had to start our season I fear has just added to our woes!
Our next 3 league fixtures are like Cup Finals and 100% more important than the Lyon game and we need to be 100% behind the team with a atmosphere like may I say it at the Bayern Munich game ( a long ago memory now)
ONCE A BLUE ALWAYS A BLUE.

Or if you fancy being positive, we somehow muster a win then beat Apollon and Atalanta, crazy times but we all thought it would be possible when the draw was made and we have 10 points
Atalanta beat Apollon and draw with Lyon +4 points
Lyon beat Apollon and draw with Atalanta + 4 points

We would then steal 2nd spot!

A far more positive future than Big Sam as manager!

I think we have a duty to ourselves, other teams in the group, and in the tradition of fair play to go out with a strong team and win this game, playing weak sides and losing will not get us back to where we want to be!
When we cannot play in this competition we will have much more time between games!
I want Everton to compete in EVERY game possible!

Trouble is Wakka while i tend to agree with you mate as well, how many time have we heard that the poor little lovies are tired come the Sun match (our lads can't play twice in a week) and don't perform, i would prefer they pushed on to stay in the Premiership myself cheers.

GB the premier is the most important I agree mate, but the euro leagues are what all players supposedly want to play in.
And let's face it Goodison was a great place to watch euro football nights!

Give Schneidelin, klassen, Sandro and Vlasic if fit a run out. They have experience of this cup and might just surprise us.

Sorry no way am I negative I am being practical and realistic .
Many better teams than us at the moment struggle to win midweek away in Europe and again at the weekend .
Yea I can see your view win all the remaining games and hope other results go our way! I don’t think so .
If we were top of the group then 100% yea go for it but you have to assess the overall probability given our form and the probability is very very low .
Also the Watford game is now far far more important
Ask any Evertonian given the choice win against Lyon or 3 points on Sunday and I know what the answer would be .
Yea win both I hear you say Mr negative but I am dealing in reality and logic not day dreams .
Our players are shot of confidence and so slow it’s untrue putting them through further embarrassment in Lyon will not help .
