FOUR Everton FC players must walk a disciplinary tight-rope against Young Boys.The Blues are in pole position to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League ahead of tomorrow’s night’s last 32 second leg with Young Boys. Roberto Martinez’s men won 4-1 in Switzerland last week and are in a strong position to book their place in Friday’s draw in Nyon (12pm). Should the Blues qualify for the next stage of the competition then Romelu Lukaku, Steven Naismith, Mo Besic and Steven Pienaar - who all have two bookings to their name - must avoid another yellow card in tomorrow’s game to make sure they are available for the first leg. The yellow card amnesty does not kick in until after the completion of the quarter-finals, so potentially the quartet must go through five ties without picking up a third booking in order to escape a suspension.

Why didn't they make sure they got their yellow in the last game?

naismith + lukaku did get yellow then , they just need to play out the game without making silly tackles & use subs to help this if they look like being a risk , 4-1 lead so no pressure

well in next tie if we could get decent lead then pick up those yellows but no easy way to avoid bans especially for naismith & besic the way they tackle , as for pienaar who hasnt played for while wont matter if banned & lukaku isnt setting the world alight so kone could get a chance if he was banned
