Match Thread Everton v Notts Forest. Sun Dec 29th. 3pm

[Ged G]

They can go 2nd if they beat us today. This game is just as tough as the last 3 regardless of it being at home.

IMO it is actually tougher, because we are at home. The tension at Goodison is terrible, it filters through from the fans to the players, too. Plus, the way we set up and the players we have, are more suited to away games. Still, we can win.

Fully expecting a 3-0 today, Broja hitting the net, Harrison and Gana also registering.

I believe that there is more chance of the pope becoming a Jehovahs witness than Harrison scoring!

Yeah definitely more pressure at home. Every game is winnable but that reduces massively when you have a manager who's main objective of every game is a clean sheet.

I look at stuff like that as scored in 2 games from last 4 instead of spreading it out. It's like for example if we beat man utd say 6 games ago meaning one win in 6 - its gets said like its one win in 30. You could also look at forest as they are the lowest scores in the top 12. We can twist everything anyway anyone wants it.

Because you don`t want it highlighted just how poor we`ve been... Every metric for this Everton team is an absolute embarrassment for every Evertonian brought about by one person, don`t start harping on about the way stats are read and perhaps put your effort in to demanding the idiot in charge of this team does something about it!

Erm No As i said it just look at it as scored in 2 from 4, my simple reason for it really. Plus shall we twist it the other way again and say 2 defeats since mid September in the league. Off course we all want wins. As said anyone can twist anything anyway you want it

Man City form not relevant, but the mighty Nottingham forest is.

You can't fool me Sean, do your job!

3 wins in 17 is the only stat that matters.

Exactly. And 5 wins below what we had same stage as last season at this point. Which is a farce, not helped by throwing loads of points away

 

[ForeverEverton]

3 wins in 17 is the only stat that matters.

9 wins in 37.... nearly 1 win for every 10 he plays...

What a job he is doing.... GFT, get him gone, if it was a choice between win today and keep Dyche or lose and get rid I`d choose to lose because I know we`d be much much better off in the long run.

What we will actually get is a defeat and keeping Dyche anyway!

Has bobble slipped any team news yet?

 

[Librarian]

I would like an Everton win and 3 points today

Be in about 10mins mate, 15mins before official team is out. If he is not on Holiday etc

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

This will be a difficult game

Hopefully a good Goodison atmosphere can help the players play above themselves

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Harrison, young and doucoure nailed on to start.
