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

[PhilEFC]

Be a tough game this. Got some good players Forest, that Anderson and Gibbs-White are very good.

 

[Paul Rideout]

I guess a 4-4-2 with Garner at RB, Alcaraz & KDH in midfield & Barry up front with Beto… he won’t start dibbling I don’t think, so putting Jack in at the 10 isn’t a realistic choice I don’t think. I don’t want to entertain the thought of McNeil starting.

Worried oyr CM will get overrun but if we sit back and counter it will nullify their greatest advantage (pace).

Forest will sit back and catch us on the break, and sadly by the end of the game we may have to endure Dyche walking round the pitch with a massive grin on his face.

I think he will bring Patterson in but go 3 at the back with Myko moving into LCB. Gives Patterson extra support and I don’t think we can risk midfield two of Alcaraz and KDH.

It’s also flexible enough to drop into a back 4 if it doesn’t work.

It seems this is another game like each and mostly all that we are playing one of the world's best team the way some are carrying on. If we have players missing or not, at the end of the day its 11 v 11. Just go out there and show fight. Not sure why some seem very worried v Forest. The only thing we have to not do is not let ourselves down after an excellent away midweek win, like we did v the Toon after a super win v Man Utd

 

[NathDogg]

If we show the same intensity, desire, concentrationand work rate that we displayed against United and Bournemouth, there’s no reason why we can’t beat these.

They got walloped by the mighty Brighton at home the other day, Brighton ffs.

Don’t think I could stand that scotch egg headed coward grinning at the end if they beat us, acting like he’s the second coming of clough.

I can believe the first paragraph but the 2nd is fairytale

There are no paragraphs just two sentences.

 

[John O'Kane]

Bit confused why some in here think this will be easily winnable. Forest have won 4 of their last 5 games, and Dyche will really want to put a result up, if only for his own gigantic ego. Will be very tough this game

 

[GoldenToffee]

Obviously unchanged XI.

Lose this one and Hill Dickinson will start to be talked of as an unhappy hunting ground for us.

Win this, they're clearly nothing special and we've just defeated two far superior teams to nil in the last 10 days.

Cant be unchanged can it mert.

 

[maccavennie]

We've got to be right at it from the off and get our noses in front early on.

Whoever is up front, we seriously need them to start contributing goals because it doesn’t half take the pressure off the rest of the team then.

Im going for a very well drilled, hard fought 2-0 Everton win.

A grin on his face, together with copious amounts of snot smeared liberally all over his head

Oh yes Iroeg' is suspended. Hm. Simple choice would be bringing in Dibling but he'll bring in McNeil instead. To be fair though, with Grealish and Ndiaye, we still ought to have enough.

If fit keane will come back in .

 

[MikeH72]

Our legs are going to be very tired and they rotated a fair few last night due to the strength of their squad. Will have to dig really deep for a result here.
