Do you think we'll see a reaction against Forest?

[blue61]

I do think we will start well. Forest would be mad to do anything other than “quieten the crowd” after riding out the initial push. Can they stay withstand the push? They wouldn’t be near the bottom if their defence was decent given their attacking threat.

The game will be decided when Goodison goes deathly silent as Forest pass the ball around their defence in the 9th minute. If the players can maintain ultra focus and shape in that lull, then great, and not start flapping basic passes into the crowd which will ratchet up the groans and tension in the ground.

I don’t think we, players or crowd, have the mettle to respond anymore if they score first. Everyone is exhausted.

This is it in a nutshell. No big fan rallies or flares now, just mass apathy.

3 red cards in 20 minutes, 2-0 win to the blues.

The only reaction we’ll see is an allergic one from any player who has to touch the ball.

It’ll be sheer panic.

I honestly think we are relying on Luton to have a nightmare finish..... Forest are buzzing at the moment, they have goals in them, we don't, just going to have to rely on defending for our lives and set pieces.

That's the game plan

They've won 2 League games this year.

They've won 2 League games this year.

It’s watching highlights that causes the issue, as they have spurts of attacking football and pace. But they do still lose, just as Luton kept losing when Ross almost won the Ballon d’Or in February.

Although I’d rather be crap and have MGW buzzing around looking dangerous, than crap and have Onana wall passing with Tarks to get his pass completion % up. They don’t win much, but sometimes they look like they’d quite like to win.

With Arse away and RS to come I doubt our goal difference is going to help us stay up. Arsenal will score at least 4 and the RS could do the same.

I bet you thought the same about Chelsea!

 

[PITA]

Yes for about 10 minutes before we revert to form.
Some of are players need to take a lead and get some leadership on the pitch.
Not finger pointing or grabbing the badge ,put giving there all putting there body on the line, winning every 50/50

Agreed. Chelsea walked through our tackles/challenges on Monday.

Looks like Keane, Godfrey and Young will play. Big L.

Hmmm, 64% badly wrong. And glad to be, no doubt!

I only voted right now.
I like to be right sometimes.

 

[Joey66]

Just looked back Paul Merson's prediction Everton 0 - Forest 2 - almost got it right

 

[Bluebirdie]

Yes?
