Romey 1878 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 if you get attacked the natural thing is to retaliate In the moment against the people attacking you yes; think Mark means indiscriminate retaliation against random Lille fans, which is not the natural thing to do and would be out of order. Mike's covered it for me. I'd hate to think any of our fans would do that but it's bound to be in some of their minds. And if it did happen then you just know the headlines that would appear in the papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacs Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hopefully none of our lads will retaliate. Agreed; anyone out there reading this, don't lower yourselves to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Everton fans set off a blue smoke bomb in the main square. Riot and plain clothes police went apeshit and cleared square with tear gas, bullets and batons before retreating after being pelted with bottles. So, the only thing which will be remembered is Everton letting off a smoke bomb and throwing bottles. It's also rumoured to take up to an hour to get in the ground after arriving there because of searches, security checks, drunk checks, ticket checks and putting any bag you are carrying in a cloakroom type place. All that needs to happen now is thousands miss kick off or most of the match and there will be something to worry about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Everton (to face Lille): Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka ©, Distin, Baines, Besic, Barry, McGeady, Barkley, Pienaar, Eto'o. Everton subs: Joel, Gibson, Lukaku, McCarthy, Atsu, Coleman, Alcaraz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton subs: Joel, Gibson, Lukaku, McCarthy, Atsu, Coleman, Alcaraz. interesting lineup. looking forward to seeing how barry and besic work together. barkley and pienaar together should creative some magic for Eto'o. with mcgeady's non-defending hibbert makes sense since he will stay home. i like the look of this. would love to see Rom come on and smash one in late in the match.

Aidan Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Everton (to face Lille): Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka ©, Distin, Baines, Besic, Barry, McGeady, Barkley, Pienaar, Eto'o. Everton subs: Joel, Gibson, Lukaku, McCarthy, Atsu, Coleman, Alcaraz. Happy with that, although I'd have liked to see Atsu in instead of Barkley I think, with McGeady pushing through the centre. We've actually got a top squad with depth, I never really realise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 The only real concerns for me are McGeady and Hibbert. Don't think we're materially weaker owing to any of the other changes. I'll again express my concerns about Barry's ability to stay at the top of his game. Hope Roberto has some plan to get him some rest before he hits empty (as he seemed to do last year).

Elston Gunnn Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 The lineup visual on the official Everton site must surely be inaccurate in multiple ways. http://www.evertonfc.com/fixtures/2010-to-2019/2014-2015/europa-league/lille-vs-everton/match (Click lineups.) If as inaccurate as I assume, it's a little dismaying that the official club site looks so foolish here. Baines as RB, Distin LB, Hibbert CH, Besic LM, McGeady paired with Eto'o as strikers. All 4 defenders are incorrectly placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
