Match Thread Notts Forest 0-1 Everton. Sat 12th april. 3pm

[Exeter_Gently]

Like seeing Doucoure, Broja and Harrison be absolute crap ALL game.

A fine finish masking another disgraceful performance.

You cheer away.

Moyes set up the team brilliantly -- picked the wrong players.

We could have and should have won that by more goals but for the dross selected in 3 out of 4 attacking positions.

Anyone can see that.

Sure they are. You should do one of your big multi quotes

he needs help

 

[Bez2k2k]

Forest fans fuming “We can console ourselves that we didn't get a player seriously injured today against the dirtiest team in the Premier League”

As if. We got hacked today and yet again another two none pens. Especially Beto’s, knocked the ball through and the defenders leg stops him running through. Clear pen. However take the 1-0 win all day. Made up.

Alright lad calm down he was [Poor language removed] all game

3 points....all that matters

Moyes is smart enough to realise how damaging is having Doucoure in the side.
We're stuck with him for the rest of the season, but i would be surprised if he's not replaced in the summer.

Moyes is not smart enough, clearly. He demonstrates that week-in-week out by having Doucoure play every minute and then making sure that he is the only player he singles out for proper praise.

He also isn't smart enough to realise that it is not a good idea to have your CAM in the side because of his defensive work.

am i right in thinking that after we chanted 'champions league your having a laugh' in the 85th minute they were chanting in retort 'premier league your having a laugh'

well you lost

so who's laughing now

Wasn’t even a close one for me. Harrison easily the best, as much as I don’t rate him, anything remotely attacking had him involved.

retort?

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

I agree on the set pieces. But what most don't see is that forest had very little in that game and a lot of that can be credited to the work rate of Harrison and doucoure. So it's a balance. If you put in alcaraz and mcneil you also increase the chance of the other team scoring. So it's a balancing act. And Moyes got it right today because he won.

Again. No other side would consistently pick forward players solely for their defensive contributions. Particularly not when their inability to keep or use a ball in forward areas gives the ball straight back to the opposition, meaning we have more defending to do. It's totally illogical.

retort?

to say something in answer to a remark typically in a sharp, angry, or witty manner.

Feel's only right to have Everton in the league next year with that barnstormer of a new stadium.

Mathematically, Ipswich draw or worse and PL. footie at BMD guaranteed
