If Everton lose at home to Arsenal then will Ronald Koeman be sacked?
Ashley Williams of Everton (5) clashes with Lyon players after a challenge on Anthony Lopes of Lyon during the UEFA Europa League Group E match.
Things don’t get any easier for Ronald Koeman as his Everton side lost again, this time in Europa League as Lyon emerged as 2-1 winners from their clash at Goodison Park.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman awaits kick off in the UEFA Europa League Group E match against Lyon.
A poor start to the season has left the Merseysiders bottom of their group in Europe and only two points outside the relegation zone in the top tier of English football in 16th position.
Next up for Koeman’s men is the visit of Arsenal on Sunday (October 22) and it feels as if defeat from that match would see the Dutchman sacked.
Ronald Koeman, manager of Everton (L), reacts as Bruno Genesio manager of Lyon (R) looks on from the touchline.
The fans have been voicing their displeasure at the 54-year-old’s management of the club on social media, while club legend Alan Stubbs told the Daily Star there was a “cold relationship” between the dugout and the stands.
Koeman himself said before the Lyon game that he had the support of the board, as outlined by the Independent, but that he would ultimately be judged on results. Well a loss to the Gunners could be the final judgement.
