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

Fair enough mate. Would like him to be better going forward. But he's been solid. Think we all just want prime Baines

His strength has always been his ability to stay compact down back, weakness certainly is his attacking presence. Again I like Myko and he has been very serviceable but you look at that starting 11 and if you had to upgrade a spot or two, he's just one of the first ones you look at sadly (Outside the glaring RB hole, although JOB has been doing very well he is a true CB).

Ha Forest - The Dyche bounce gone - now comes the Winter of discontent.
Jabba the Hutt will be twitching again

Much needed cushion for next 2 games. What a rolls royce of a player KDH is

 

[LinekersLegs]

Tempted to go with either KDH or Tarks for MOTM

But went with Barry, love that he kept on trying and it finally paid off for him.

Just seen the league table and I have been hospitalised with altitude sickness.

Considering how miserable everyone was last Saturday, to bounce back with two wins and two clean sheets is unbelievable recovery. No matter what happens at the Bridge next week and against Arsenal in two weeks, we’re going into Christmas in much better spirits than the last few years

Let's not bother with the defensive "no matter what happens" stuff. This team is competitive against every other team in this league. THAT'S the real progress (and also evidence that the overall standard has plateaued). We can make Europe and that should be our aim.

Missed the start, what was the reception like for Dyche?

 

[Donegal blue]

GET IN.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Okay so they beat the RS 3-0, and we've been them 3-0, so surely this means we could beat the RS 6-0

Sounds good to me. Now I'm off to spend all my free money from those things I bought off Amazon and then returned

Yers! Everton are magic.

Fk orft Dyche.

 

[DanB90]

Torn today.

KDH’s quality arguably the difference, but Tarkowski was monstrous at the back.
Bailed us out on a few occasions.

 

[EFC1967]

Brilliant, UTFT

I honestly have no idea how we'll do in this one. I thought we'd get nothing from Man Utd and Bournemouth away and I was pretty confident going in to the game against Newcastle and was horribly wrong in all three cases. So, on that basis, I am going to predict that we will get absolutely battered by Sean Dyche's samba footballing Notts Forest side!

You are all very welcome. I'll continue to predict losses in perpetuity.

Chelsea aren't exactly pulling up trees a first win since 1994 next week would be epic
