Everton are currently bottom of Group E following one draw and one defeat
Ronald Koeman has urged Everton to focus on getting three points in their Europa League match with Lyon as they look to move off the bottom of Group E.
The Premier League side have picked up just one point in the competition so far - drawing 2-2 with Apollon Limassol last time out - and losing their opening fixture against Atalanta.
But with Thursday's match at Goodison Park, Koeman has urged his side to target their first victory of the campaign and believes the confidence will improve across the board if they win.
"It is a really important game," he said. "We know the situation in the group - we need a win. We expected a win last time against Apollon Limassol but we were unlucky and they scored in the last few minutes [to draw].
Ronald Koeman has admitted he is might be in a crisis following the club's poor start to the season and says things can change quickly in management
"But you know that one point from two games means you need a win. You need three wins at home and try to pick up what you can away. The situation is that we need to win to get good possibilities to go through in this tournament.
"We know what we need to do [on Thursday]. The boys are working really hard to get it right. It is a good night tomorrow to win and get the full confidence back in the team.
"We have three different games in three different competitions in the next week. We want to do well in all of them but our only focus is tomorrow and that is what we need to concentrate on."
