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

[Drico]

Eto’o was good at least (years before he joined us). Still a decent record from him for the playtime gotta say

Eto'o was world-class. Just not with us.

 

[Blue Roo]

Tim's done well and shafted by the ref more than once

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

He's had the ball at his feet a 'kin ton. He's dog end. He can't dribble or pass. He's levels below our league.

Once more: I agree he’s been shocking for us so far. I just can’t be doing with the “our scouts are crap” shout. They scouted a promising player who was delivering goals. It hasn’t worked out.

We also signed Ndiaye who was largely crap for Marseille and he’s been sensational.

Footy innit.

 

[Zatara]

Hope Grealish spent the first half in the changys with the physios on intravenous berocca, a few lines of aspirin, and necking turmeric shots to get rid of this hang over and kebab guts sickness bug / flu.

And liquid nitrogen?

Or perhaps just 6 double vodka red bulls?

 

[matty1878]

Lukaku on Radio Merseyside. You don't know what you've got till it's gone

maybe we are signing him on loan!

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

COYB, let's send off 2025 right.

Halfway there, don't let me down...

 

[navidson]

I get people not wanting to turn on players but defending Barry at this point is ludicrous.
He's Niasse level.

You think he's going to manage 8 goals in a season?

Harsh on Niasse otherwise

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

I’m gonna shock you here, but instinctive stuff like breakaways are much more individual than sustained possession or anything off the ball.

You see some 5 year old kids who just ‘have it’. Course it can be coached, but making the final decision on a break is massively more on an individual than the coach.

He’s never played football mate. Pointless engaging.

 

[Lob]

First half stats to die for, literally.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Eto'o was world-class. Just not with us.

Glimpses with us too but was way past it

 

[Eggs]

2 streams both down so missed the half but....Dibling does seem to fail to track his man - at the weekend I kept shouting at the screen "stay with him! stay with him!"

….yep, it was clear from early that it’s a weakness but something he will get better at with time. Ndiaye is guilty of it at times but not the same extent.

 

[Zatara]

Hopefully Rohl & Barry step up 2nd half.

Rohl isnt helping anyone and Barry needs to make some diagonal runs.

 

[Bristol Blue]

Don’t think Rohl has done badly either. Gets around the pitch well. Gibbs White and Anderson are the excellent midfielders.

The worry is how long can he last, no way he does 90mins. Not sure who’ll come on for him. Think dibbers and Patto will also struggle for 90mins.

 

[Blue Roo]

Might be the time for Dibling to show his worth hes been building behind the scenes

 

[matty1878]

anyone else nervous?

ok only me lol
