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

Can't beloieve we arent getting the ball out to Greakish more. His marker is booked in 20 seconds. Grealish is the most fouled player in the league. It's only a matter of when he fouls Grealish again and they're down to 10

He has not threatened since the first minute of the match and he has seen enough of the ball for that to not be the case

Not next game! I meant going forward.

Gana back next game.

Would love to see Dibling get half an hour here, perfect opportunity as long as we start the 2nd half well.

Illy must have one eye on AFCON.

 

[Groucho]

We half arsed it and got two goals. That is a very good sign

This all day

Very pleasing symmetry from the half time scorelines. Just need Chelsea to lose and us to score another 10 and we're up to 4th.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Gana back next game.

I think I’m ready to just play Tim

 

[jonnyg]

Perfectly weighted pass

Had my hands on my head almost thought he underhit it but Barry shaped up so well to shoot!

Garner has been doing the nice things really nicely

Massive fan of Jimmy G.
Puts it in no matter where he's played. Really stepped up and grown into his game. Superb.

Yep, let him get away with it for the whole half basically. Should have been targeting him from minute he was booked

What were the Forest players complaining about btw?. Nothing about that goal was dubious.

Blinded by Barrys teeth

 

[Davideeyore]

Why is the channel I got playing Villa Arsenal last season? Plant pots

 

[Marius57]

Exactly. I don't think we can be too thrilled with the performance - and we have sat back - but some clinical finishing (and who thought we'd be saying that) has made the difference in our favour for a change.

Still work to do here, though, and it would be a massive blow not to win from here.

Tbf, it’s our 3rd game in 7 days, we have knocks such as Keane and Barry, we got tonked in our last home game and we are up against our former manager who is a marmite figure for the fans and players.

I’m not surprised it’s a bit cagey.

That run and assist by Ndiaye was Sue Perb

 

[Librarian]

Nice run by Barry across Ndiaye

….hanging on for half-time, major plus to have got that 2nd goal. In all honesty, Barry probably having his worst game for a while but he took his chance when it came, lovely to see us not wasting that break and well done too to Alcaraz for also making that run and giving the defender a decision to make.

Thought Garner did well, Grealish not at his sharpest, I think this could be a long half.
