Match Thread Everton v Nottingham Forest : 3pm KO : Saturday 20th August 2022

[II McColl II]

It's just bad overall.

Lampard has to stop playing 5 at the back, don't care how crap we're, we continually go in to every game on the back foot. You simply cannot play this formation if your wing backs are incapable of staying high and creating chances, don't remember Mykolenko or Patterson doing anything in the final 3rd today.

Sign a midfielder who can dictate the game, crying out for someone who can just put a foot on the ball and relax everyone around him.

Buy some attackers capable of either picking a final pass or being able to actually put the ball in the back of the net.

put to the sword by a promoted side and it was all our own doing...selling Gordo isn't going to fix it.

Well, keeping him certainly isn't!

 

[Eggs]

....1 point behind the Reds after 3 games is a positive way of looking at it.

16th - bite your hand off for that come the end of the season

Thoughts on Onana today?

Too many mistakes. He’s young and going to take some time to get up to speed. Can’t get on him

 

[Rich1878]

Tbh, im ok with that result.

Considering our lineup, we were ok.

New additions and new attacking threat, I think we will be sound this season.

Have a great evening Blues

?

 

[matty1878]

Better performance of the 3 games, should have had 3-4 but for poor finishing/good goalkeeping

Don’t care if it’s Adams, Gomez, Guirassy, Brereton-Diaz or any of the strikers we’ve been linked with just get one in

so we were getting beat and got a draw?

jesus

 

[lungo]

FFS Gordon. This game is on him. He should’ve had 3 goals. How hard is it to touch it passed the goalie when he is in the air already and then you are left with an open net. HORRIFIC

Trying to put the ball over the keeper from 30 cm out. Crazy. Perhaps that kind of stuff works on the play ground?

 

[peteblue]

Good point overall
Pickford should have done better with their goal - should have pushed for a corner
Iwobi MOTM
Gray awesome finish
Gordan has a weak ass shot

Certainly agree with this……

 

[tadpole]

Two assists for Pickford today

 

[cronullasharks]

Great superb result against the mighty Forest. Very hopeful for the season ahead.

Get Nicho Hynes in

 

[St James]

Focus on Fleetwood away on Tuesday now, this game has gone.

 

[billybeeru]

That was probably a fair result which shows you how far we’ve fallen.

Thoughts on Onana today?

Yellow ruined him. Continuing with wingbacks stifled him. Seemed a bit lost, tbh.

 

[Rook]

He wasn't great, or good, or probably even bang avg but Gray got us our goal of the month, so will vote him MOM.
