I love going back and reading the comments before the goal slightly surprised there was plenty of negativity after it as well

 

[Zatara]

Worry about that in the summer dude. Try and enjoy wins like this and a stress free season run in. These things have been at a premium for Everton supporters in recent seasons

Its so annoying though. We could actually be seeing a quality attack emerge...but instead

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Can’t understand negativity of any kind for a goal from the Blues. This is our team.

 

[ForeverEverton]

LOL nice nil nil draw for you lot.

Just because he scored a goal which McNeil literally out on a plate doesn`t mean he had a worldie game, he was atrocious... I can`t fathom the thinking that he had a great game just because he got a winner.

He was crap, we could have probably won by more if he wasn`t there.

Certainly doesn`t deserve a new contract.

Literally thought that Yates challenge on Alcaraz. How is that not a pen? Never mind the one on Beto?

 

[Cameron Manning]

Poor quality game but only Everton were trying to play football and deserved the win .

How the hell are Forest in the CL placings and FA Cup semi final?

Yes the first half was pretty grim but Everton were slightly the better team. In the second half we improved with Beto coming on and giving the Forest defence something to think about and defend, Alcaraz further improved us with his use of the ball and switching play and we looked much the better team and more likely to score and finally McNeil came on and made the pass that Doucoure scored from and got him all those MOTM points, thanks for the goal Duke that got us the points but you still drive most of us crazy but you are forgiven today!

Gana Gueye with another very good pressing performance and running and tackling right through those 95 minutes gets my MOTM again today. Forest showed little today that indicated they are a top third team.

I want Everton to win.
Today we won.
Can’t understand some ‘fans’ moaning at a win.
We haven’t exactly being setting the Premier League on fire in recent seasons.
Moyes has done a good job since he back came in mid-season

Dyche P 18 W 3 D 8 L 8 PPM 0.89
Moyes P 13 W 5 D 6 L 2 PPM 1.62

We are safe, which is a good outcome for the season. Moshiri is gone, which is also a good outcome for the season.
With new owners, a new stadium and a fresh start for next season, I am looking forward to it already.

COYB

Not seen anyone slate Moyes' results or tactics.

Im happy to complain endlessly about his choice of starting players and subs.

State of these ratings. Gana 6!!

Alcaraz 6 lol mental.

Tbh what has Broja done to deserve a start ?

He was rubbish today but thought he needed a run out, worth seeing if he can do anything in the run in. Beto done well when he came on

 

[Zatara]

Literally thought that Yates challenge on Alcaraz. How is that not a pen? Never mind the one on Beto?

It was bewildering. Especially the sight of Alcaraz's face being 30% a different colour where hes been whacked.

 

[edge]

I realise ive gone all American on this but...

Doucoure, Broja and Harrison were so so bad today AGAIN

You know Moyes will play them.and they will be staying

Harrison had a decent game.

 

[Eggs]

…..son came around with his 3 young girls to watch, bit of a bonus after the final whistle when 365 messaged him that his £3 bet builder had come in and was worth £320. He didn’t realise he was waiting on Doucoure shot on target.

I thought we were terrific, just lacking the quality in the top third. Fortunately, it was McNeil passing to Doucoure rather than the other way around but Doucoure topped off an effective game with the energy to break in 94th minute and then win us the game with a decent finish.

Has to be Doucoure MoM, fully justifying his selection

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Seems I say this nearly every week, but Idrissa is MotM again for me.

 

[witchdoc187]

I'll just add that we thoroughly deserved that today. I thought we'd win today as I thought forest weren't much at goodison. Not sure how they're third

 

[Vintage]

Its so annoying though. We could actually be seeing a quality attack emerge...but instead

Options are fairly limited though and we are in a position we could have only dreamt about 3 months ago. Can question Doucoure starting for Alcaraz but im going to reserve too much judgement until the summer and when next season starts.
