Europa League

[prawnsandwich]

Well... I like it.
Everton and Celtic effectively need only 1 point from 2 games.

End to end stuff. Everton playing both Eto'o and Lukaku. Still 0-0-legal Wolfsburg goal ruled offside.
What is the real state of German football?-Wolfsburg 2nd in league having won 8 in a row until got beat by Schalke at the weekend.
Schalke won 4 in a row until thrashed by Chelsea.


Lukaku did everything he could to not score but scores. 2 men left up top for a Wolf corner-it's the future!

Very efficient counter attack from Everton there. Not sure where the Wolfsburg defence was though!

 

[haxman]

Would have loved Lukaku at Spurs. Big battering ram striker who'd hassle and give defenders all sorts of problems, something we don't have.

 

[prawnsandwich]

The other result in the group means Everton qualify whatever the result-not good news for us.
McCarthy did his hamstring.

he would have got slaughtered by some of our happy band

Comes with the territory of being a Spurs player....

In other news, lol at Bendtner.

 

[SteveH]

Very impressed with Everton. We will have our work cut out to get any sort of result on Sunday.

 

[prawnsandwich]

More than good goal and Everton display.

I was gonna post the same thing!

 

[radkovic]

I bet Fazio is looking forward to sunday.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

If they perform like this on Sunday they will win. Must be favourites at the moment anyway.

My Europa League provider continues to show Celtic over us. Who is the bigger global team? Us or Celtic?

 

[prawnsandwich]

I bet Fazio is looking forward to sunday.

I wouldn't bet much against Kaboul.

if we get a draw in Turkey and finish top it'll be crazy. We have been so ordinary.

But there are some big teams playing very inconsistently in both European competitions

Still purring over Bayern's 10 man display for 30 minutes and then the exhibition from Aguero on finishing, world class.

The Europa has been good fun and the 'pool' have kept me amused in the CL.

Watching the mighty Spurs has reach new levels of pain this season.
