Match Thread Everton 3-0 Notts Forest. Sat 6th December

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

0-0.

 

[Tommy Chong]

We cant let this ferret bring a team here and beat us.

Oh please god no

And you just know, he’ll be frothing at the mouth to beat us!

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Be wondrous if Patto has to play, scores 7 and headbutts Dyche after coming off to a standing ovation.

 

[jazzy]

Forest will let us have the ball and hit us on the counter.

We have no creativity to beat a low block and no pace to deal with quick transition. Their centre halves are big and physical.

Our worst type of opponent.

This game will mean a lot to a certain group

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Please, God.

As Evertonians we have learned to live off your scraps, but just this once: A humiliating, crushing defeat for them, Barry to weigh in with at least a couple, JOB to be a defensive colossus, and Dyche to nervously scran his body weight in bogies as he watches the horror unfold.

….i’ll always be grateful to Dyche for keeping us up during the points deduction debacle, absent owner, we were rudderless but i’d love us to win at the weekend just to keep momentum before 2 very difficult games. I reckon that’ll be the focus of the majority, whether they liked Dyche or not.

Very difficult opponent with quality players, @jazzy assessment could be spot on.

21 points at Christmas is fine but if we can stretch that to 24 we really are in a position to think positively about competing for a European spot.

This will be another tough game against a team who will want to counter attack. Its going to be especially difficult because I'm not sure we are going to be able to field a competent midfield. We will need to be tactically very alert from minute 1 or we could get caught regularly on the break. A draw would honestly be OK if not a bit underwhelming.

I think he starts.

Garner back into the middle with KDH, Charlie as the 10.

Everton fans?

 

[Nymzee]

Be bad enough just losing to these scumbags but if we did @davek would be insufferable for weeks.

 

[PITA]

Brighton didn’t, Fulham didn’t, West Ham didn’t, and Villa didn’t. Try again.

What did the Romans do for us?

 

[TyphooToffee]

Centre midfield will be the issue here
Taking Garner out of right back and Jake out of centre back won't help

Jake should stay where he is.

 

[PITA]

"Expected defeat". We've already moved on...

Good shout.
