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

[MikeH72]

It’s just hilarious that you blasted him game after game when he was our manager even when we had horrendous injuries. ‘No excuses’. Then the second he turns up with an opposition team that are 16th in the league you’re wittering on that we have some players missing?!!!

If he’s as rubbish as you’ve made him out to be then you wouldn’t be snivelling around now getting your excuses ready in case we lose.

For the record I expect us to beat them because we’re at home and have a better manager than they do. I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get the three points.

He has a squad that cost £400m and qualified for Europe last year, and we are missing about 8 players so I would expect if he’s as good a manager as you say he is, that he will have no trouble winning the game. He also won 3-0 at Anfield so we should be a piece of cake. Over to you Sean. No excuses.

Moyes is a better manager than him. Do you agree? Surely you do. Should be no problem then. Unless…player quality is actually a determining factor on results and you spent years being a hypocrite trying to deny it existed as a factor because it suited your agenda against Dyche. Next you’ll be saying other teams have spent more money than us after ignoring us having the lowest net spend for five years before Freidkins took over.

Well Forest certainly have. To the tune of about 4x

Moyes took a torpedo to the idea that you were trying to push that nobody could do any better with the squad we had last season, without even spending a penny. With the same resources available to him he got 31 points compared to your stinking kopite Tory scab mate’s 17 in as many games. But then again you’ve made up a weird scenario where that was everyone else’s fault to move the goalposts on that one.

And no one spent more than us when Dyche was in charge did they? You didn’t care then though, now all of a sudden it’s a ready excuse for you

Some rectal wart is predicting a dyche win in one area of the forum and demanding a Moyes win elsewhere.

Guess who...

Honestly what must have become of your life if you are taking up the option of actively cheering against your alleged own team, because you’ve made your entire online personality liking a former manager and not liking the current one.

I'd love to see them playing chess against each other

In fairness there is not much chance of either understanding the rules. V

 

[Lineker]

If he breaks up that defence to fit Garner back into CM and we get beat, that's down to Moyes.

No ifs or buts.

If he slots patterson in, and we win, that's down to moyes?

 

[Lineker]

I'd be for it , just to witness the fireworks on here from a certain poster's inevitable conniption if Patterson plays

I'd be watching the patterson thread more than the game

Surely not a hatrick of home defeats

Surely not

I think a lot depends on if Keane is fit - can’t believe I’m saying that but it’s key of if Garner is back in midfield otherwise we are really unbalanced and then there is a risk Forest take control of the game.

Surely not

We beat Fulham in between Spurs and Newcastle

I always wake up nervous on Sean Dyche Derby day.

 

[Eggs]

…..looks like plenty are affected but I have to say, the Sean Dyche element doesn’t interest me in the least.

More than ever, games at this level are so unpredictable. I try and get back to basics and ask; ‘are we better than them?’. League position suggests we’re the better team but we really are depleted

When a game is difficult to call, I’d normally suggest a draw. Two games coming up (Chelsea/Arsenal) where I wouldn’t expect anything. 21 points at Christmas is fine as far as avoiding relegation is concerned but if we can squeeze out another 3 then we’re in a terrific position to push for a European spot.
