[Sharpattack]

Can’t score, won’t score. I’d take a 0-0 right now.

Asmir Begovic hat trick

 

[BlueStevie35]

Winning this I reckon, one of Dimi’s wild shots comes back off the post into Rondon’s knackers, hits Henderson in the face and gets smashed in from 6 inches by McNeil

 

[MACCA75]

Anyone on here could make the bench for this one, bring your boots.

 

[deipnosophist]

For this, I like Earwax ruffling the onion bag ...1-0 to our guys.

Sod the back three against Forest.

Pickford

Patterson
Coady
Tarks
Myko

Gana(if registered)
Onana
Iwobi

Mc Neil
Rondon
Gordon


Get Oana and Iwobi pushing on

 

[m hart89 efc]

Can’t see anything other than another narrow defeat here. They’ll sneak 1 in the second half and that will be it. We’ve got absolutely nothing to threaten any team in this league at the minute.

This is how I would line up as well. Maybe Gray for Gordon if he's indeed sold

 

[Thomasc]

One of the clubs worst ever forward lines wheeled out for another week.

Board and management should be ashamed of themselves.

Like others, can’t see us scoring. Narrow win for Forest and their players trying to impress, be very Everton for Dennis to score the winner.

 

[Mosh Pit]

Gray was talking about how he wanted to start the season strongly and be more consistent.

Saturday is a big opportunity for him and McNeil to show their worth and that they're both capable.

Genuinely think that may happen with a natural striker (rondon) bulldozing their defense.

Let's get the three points blues - until our world class talent comes through the door... ?

 

[bullybeef]

Can’t see anything other than some kind of result for Forest.

Everton are a blunt force when it comes to an attacking threat.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Repeat of my first ever match at the old Lady. 45 years ago!!

They were newly promoted back then, beat us 3-1 and went on to win the league.

No Clough and Taylor this time round so 1-1.

 

[GoldenToffee]

So this is now officially the third of three games forfeited. Unprecedented.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Hoping for Onana to make an impact. I reckon he will be pushed further upfield as he gets used to the league.

5 at the back. 0-0
