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

[Tel001]

They’ve also had the most 1-0 victories in the league. They sit back and try to beat you on the counter. We played them perfectly and next season they’ll be found out. Don’t reckon they’ll be anywhere near the top of the table.

I thought we played the game perfectly from a tactical point of view.

Full backs didn’t push to high and leave space for them to attack

Midfielders were sensible and didn’t lose possession in dangerous areas and when they did have the rare opportunity to break on us the closest player would take a yellow .
They created very little and we had 2 one on ones and garner forced there keeper into a good save.

Text book away performance….

McNeill didn't mean for that pass to happen.
Can't help themselves can they?

Tbf, Moyes said exactly the same himself in his post match.

Also want to give a shout to Tarkowski, Brainthawaite, O’Brien, and Mykolaynko. Well deserved.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

What a couple of howlers to win us the game

 

[West Side Charlie]

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

Thank god you're not the Manager, we'd be relegated by now. He was probably the most important player today for the way we set up, and has been in a lot of games. Without him we don't win today.

Harrison was very good in the 2nd half, Broja showed some good signs before he tired, Doucs broke up lots of their combinations and scored the winner.

This is true, as always.
Unfortunately he also broke up lots of our combinations, as always.

Seeing it a few more times, I think it was intended as a ball to Gueye… but it doesn’t matter. The ball went in the net, and it was nothing less than we deserved.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Fair play to Nuno, straight out and gave us credit

 

[BlueInNZ]

Imo we looked like the top 3 team, away from home, even before the goal.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Finally watched the full match. Thought it was even until about the 65th minute mark (when Beto came on) but then we just went up an extra gear and they looked dead.

Gonna give MOTM to Myko, he played really really well and was always available to receive a pass and allow us to build up the play. Gana in 2nd place

It did seem to have bit of luck about it . . .
but having seen it from this angle, I'm convinced that it was perfectly hit and most certainly intended.
Fantastic pass.

Morning Blues!
