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

[Cameron Manning]

It seems mad to me that there's loads of people who can probably only make one or two games a season (either through distance from Liverpool or for financial reasons) that basically have to pay £150 a ticket on Seat Unique or have to buy multiple forever blue plus memberships at £60 a pop to maybe (but maybe not - no guarantees) get some tickets together with their families/friends when there are unsold tickets left less than 24 hours before a game. I know why the club's doing it, they'd rather have empty seats than undercut the more lucrative memberships/supposedly premium seat experiences, I just think it's a shame that people on lower incomes are effectively being locked out of seeing us live now.

I think they will be selling them to anyone when this winter gets a real grip of the weather, especially night games!

im begging mate!!

I know Matty, you go through the ringer don't you when Everton play

 

[Eggs]

Well he played Coleman when he wasn't at his optimum fitness levels so I think he'll play Patterson tomorrow

….its nothing to do with Patterson’s fitness, the risk comes with his defending.

I’m sure Moyes would prefer Coleman on one leg than Patterson, but it might just be a case of he’s the only cab on the rank tomorrow.

i do when we’re leading!!

for once it would be good to win and
like sort of comfy

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

if Keane is fit JOB goes back to RB and Garner plays in midfield. We win...
If Keane is NOT fit then JOB at CB, Garner at RB and midfield is screwed. We lose...

I'm worse Matty, I can't even watch us or even listen to us on the radio so I just follow the match thread on here hoping for good news everytime I refresh the page. Nothing better than Rita announcing an Everton goal or a fan writing 'get in!!!'

Well I don't think Moyes would entertain a centre midfield with Grealish and Alcaraz in it. I think the only other possibility is what you said Eggs with McNeil playing central but that isn't a great idea either

 

[Ged G]

Grealish, with Ndiaye left and Lord Lucan Dibling on the right. 8-0 with that set up.

I do like a bit of positive thinking but you are bonkers with that...
... it is only gonna be 5-0

 

[Swartzy]

Possibly, yes.

We've not got key players in form/ available. So those lads will probably win ball in the middle, regardless... But if KDH sits and Charly at the back of a diamond, we might also cause them problems.

Tricky one. It's too adventurous for our Davey in all likelihood.

I'm praying it is

 

[Ged G]

Play Beto centre mid. Joelinton was a wank forward that banged into people a lot and rarely scored, and now he's a centre mid that bangs into people a lot and rarely scores.

But Joelinton can control a ball

 

[Ged G]

Midfield is where games are won and lost in the main so Garner has to play there otherwise we'll not get a foothold in the match. Sure Patterson may be rusty but for the sake of balance he has to play

"Midfield is where games are won and lost in the main"... that was before VAR mate

on here mate is far worse! ( not ritas punditry btw i love it )

before even a line up, a ball, the ground opens etc

the slagging and meltdowns is a joke

 

[Amokachi1995]

Think it will be Keane in for Irebougnam. Simple as that.

 

[Cels]

gotta be this mate


please all the gods of the world

can we beat them

Ohh I totally agree, supporters are meant to support after all and the way certain players trigger certain posters with slagging them off all the time does my nut in. If Patterson starts tomorrow you can guarantee the first misplaced pass or cross and the same naysayers will delight in saying how sh** he is
