Match Thread Everton v Notts Forest. Sun Dec 29th. 3pm

[Khalekan]

I may have got that one wrong. It happens once or twice.

I don't think they were that great, took a couple of chances well, never had a real spell of pressure

We were just terrible

I agree, was an easy 3 points for them today

They aren’t lucky. They are just very good at one dimensional football. Might still go off the boil, but wouldn’t say lucky when they are scoring and winning in exactly the ways there are trying to.

Plus Dyche is an equal opportunities political spanner.

Well if he loves Keir Starmer he must be left wing...

Also Forest are riding a massive wave of luck, their two goals against us are proof enough.

I'd like to take this moment to apologise for the 2-0 defeat I just inflicted on Everton.

Please accept my sincerest apologies.

Oh, I'm not blaming you : just telling you that of all the forum contributors I have read in my near 12 year GOT 'membership', you are, by some distance, the least accurate predictor of a footballing outcome: you are invariably wrong lol. But as for you being the cause of any such outcome, no mate, you've got zero contribution to that .

 

[ToffeeTim]

Forest didn't even need to be good today. We were just dreadful. No purpose to anything we do in attack.

Not quite sure why a so called Millwall fan would sign up to an Everton forum after Forest Beat Everton Maybe you could get it if it was Forest fans coming on to gloat etc

Dyche is a Millwall lad and a great manager. Took Burnley to Europe and kept you lot up against all the odds. So I was lurking and seeing a bunch of hate and felt I had to speak up.

I think you all are getting a bit too big for your boots.

Yeah a bit more than that...not much more though...as you can tell, as when I do get a prediction wrong they all come gunning for me.

I take it as a compliment tbf.

Pickford deserves a MOTM poll - he kept it in reach, if anyone scored for us

You're the Forum's resident Narcissus...no doubting that lol

Whilst there was plenty to be frustrated about with today's performance, the most frustrating aspect for me was the minute or so after Notts Forest scored their second goal.

In the build-up, there was a clear foul on Orel Mangala which the awful referee seemed to miss, allowing Notts Forest's players to breeze through our defence and grab a second goal. However, after the goal, only one player - I think it was Mangala himself - confronted the referee. Why weren't all of our players surrounding the referee, requesting a VAR check? Still does not justify conceding the goal, but we really ought to fight for every margin we can.

That idiot of an official wouldn't have listened anyway. If anyone can genuinely explain to me why the Branthwaite push in the back wasn't looked at by VAR I would love to hear it.

What on earth is the point of this fella? like honestly? pleb
