Match Thread Notts Forest 0-2 Everton. Tue Dec 30th. 7.30 pm

Brilliant match. Like most here, would have bitten your hand off for a draw before the game. Defence and central midfield were superb and both McNeil and Dibling were great in helping out their full-backs, who could easily have been overwhelmed. Goals were both well-constructed and well-taken.

 

[Benno]

Tremendous away performance. It’s important some of these lads continue to get minutes now so that they grow like Tim, Garner, JOB have - all have been written off before. Dibling starting to show what the fuss is about and even Patterson started to look assured if not blowing by last 20. Shame he couldn’t get Aznou on for last 5 for McNeil.

Michael Oliver was ref and no cards for us...

He's a Blue ye know.

 

[Rodebaard]

Great result, 3 unexpected points given our performance against Burnley and the missing players. Have MOM to Garner, but though the centre backs were superb, and Tim was also very solid. Dibling also came into the match with some very neat skill. Patterson struggled a bit unfortunately, but Myko held his own. Thought Rohl looked tidy, albeit got bullied off the ball too often. Did pretty well as right back. Barry wins a lot of headers, but isn't able to hold the ball up very well. Glad he bagged after some tremendous work by Jimmy. McNeil was ok I thought too.

Dyche sticking rigidly with plan A all evening as we've seen so many times. Lobbing it into the box all night was always going to play into our hands.

Also gibbs white looks like a mad professor.

Seems to have a permanent look of surprise on his face!

I’m guessing Sean Dyche has done all he can with the squad

Solid performances all around tonight. Given how threadbare we were, everyone stepped up. I could go with Tarks, Jake, or Garner. But tonight I’m going with Garner.

JOB is a proper CB...did brilliantly again tonight.

That's a 0-3 defeat line up, getting on Forest now at odds of 11/10

Need a bail out mate ?

I thought the lot of them were excellent tonight, Moyes tactics were spot on, the team defended like heroes and when we got a break we flooded forward, all played their hearts out but notable mentions for Tarkowski, Garner, Rohl and Iroegbunam.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Back 4 excellent especially centre Backs. JOB is a monster and really excellent at his position again.

Garner MOTM clear as day.

Tim put in a good shift. Has so much more in him than he is producing.

Rohl had to go to the well, impressive.

McNeill, limitations aside he always put in a shift regardless of what we think of him.

Dibling growing into it. He has such good quality.

Barry needs to just keep working.

Gabriel Jesus sitting on the bench after 65 mins.. throw a big wage and 30m at arteta and we make Europe

 

[Zatara]

Did I completely imagine Aznou coming on?

I swear he was there

Was coming on then the 5mins came up and he was sent back to sit down.

Only disappointing thing. Kept hoping Moyes would bring him on every one of those 5 mins when it was out of play.

Also gibbs white looks like a mad professor.

I think he looks like a Mexican bandit from a cheap Western
