Match Thread Notts Forest 0-1 Everton. Sat 12th april. 3pm

Meh. He was utter wank again. I'm not sure the 1 goal in 10 is enough for him to be starting every game.

I do agree. But it’s 4 points and only 2 conceded against the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed teams in consecutive games. So Moyes clearly has his reasons.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Great result. Doucoure gets terrible stick in here but somehow always seem to pop up and grab an important goal….

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Everyone put a shift in today, that's what Davey Moyes & Alan Irvine instill into a team.
A well "earned" win.

Gana head and shoulders the best player on the pitch for both sides today.

Unbelievable player.

 

[Marius57]

Did nothing but score- he yet again had a poor game hidden by that easy goal !

I don’t rate doucoure at all. But calling it an easy goal when we have missed similar chances many many times as a team already this season is a bit unfair. It was a very good finish by him.

Brilliant by McNeil, that. Remember him destroying Newcastle by doing the same thing, closing the ball down like a little ferret and then immediately getting on the front foot.

I was born in Moyseh, but I was made in the Royal Dychey

Notts Forest looked bang average and deserved to lose that game.

Just another match of Gueye's excellence this season. So tremendous in stunting any of Forest's counters and has been the teams best player I think all year.

Ndiaye aswell I think with a good performance. I know some might be frustrated with the final product but his constant pressure and collapsing of defenses demands so much from the opposition. Threat and presence in the final third aren't not goals but drastically beneficial regardless. Especially when the 9's are, lets face poor and goals are just broady not swimming in the squad.

 

[PITA]

We had more possession, they had 10 attempts on goal we had 13 attempts. They had 5 on target we had 5 on target. Don’t know how they can describe it as a smash and grab unless they are just pointing to how late we scored.

I couldn't find a stream but I did find a Notts Forest site like the one that Uncle Fester has for Liverpool. The bloke on it was fairly sound throughout and was actually complimentary to Everton. Said that the win was more than deserved. 'Smash and grab' my hairy one.

Tell ya what....Some humble pie getting ate tonight.

I just hate it when people revel in saying " I told you so". Damn you EG. well taken goal to be fair. Thought he was poor generally today though, thought Harrison played quite well if I'm honest.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I never been more happy to see Everton Footballer slot.

This is why you keep your council till the final whistle guys.

Football has a habit of making people look VERY stupid.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

What a result! I thought we were going to draw that for sure, we had so many chances and couldn’t finish for toffee.
They had a bad game, but I thought we marshalled them well and stopped them playing for large parts of the game.
Noticed Doucoure’s celebration, miming signing a contract and a shrug of the shoulders, I would give him a 1 year extension, on less money

 

[Daytripper]

good result that, I would of even taken a draw beforehand so nice one Blues.

 

[NortheastBlue68]

Commentator just said "the unlikeliest of one nil wins" - we've battered them what's he on about

I bristled at that but to be fair he said later that we deserved it.
