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

[Steve EFC]

It's not ideal but in fairness, Rondon isn't actually as bad as people make out.

He'll do a better job up there than the other front three did in the opening two games.

1. He can score.
2. He allows others to score.

I reckon he'll be fine to get us through this game.

Once upon a time he was an average premier league centre forward……
Now he’s an average championship centre forward at best!!

However he’s the only option we have right now.?

 

[GrandOldSte117]

I’m 90% positive they won’t, though I’m sure the anti-Lampard brigade on here would love it to happen

I always want Everton to win even if I don't rate lampard.

 

[Cels]

I don't feel too confident about Everton at the minute, so going for a draw.

[Ufotone]

Oh how I hope Lingard has a bad match.

With the Goodison faithful in full voice I'm thinking......

2.1 to the blues ?

 

[Bedfordblue]

Ffs, both Sutton and Merson are backing Everton for a win on Sat, that’s all we needed, a hex from those pair of weapons.…….

 

[Latchford Lark]

Anyone from winsford/northwich able to give son a lift to & from match on sat. He's struggling to get there due to rail strike. Will share petrol.

 

[Dykovski200]

I can’t see us scoring unfortunately, lingard hat trick

 

[ForeverBlue92]

10/11 for the home win is buying money.

Might stick a pony on it.

Sod the back three against Forest.

Pickford

Patterson
Coady
Tarks
Myko

Gana(if registered)
Onana
Iwobi

Mc Neil
Rondon
Gordon


Get Oana and Iwobi pushing on

Coady is a good player, but have u seen him in a back 4, it is definitely not his sweet spot

 

[Zezti]

We'll win this. Their squad has only been together for 5 minutes.

I like the added graphics to your prediction. It’s a nice touch.

 

[Mr PEN86]

We'll win. Just.
If. Franks switches things up top.
Digne is our top scorer and he don't even play for us ? UTFT. 3pts to leapfrog the RS untill Monday at least

Pickford (C)
Holgate - Coady - Tarkowski
Patterson - Iwobi - Onana - Mykolenko
Gray - Rondon - McNeil

I can see Allan also used in a 3-5-2 especially with Onana only being with the team a week but at home we need to take the game to Forest.

Rondon as a focal point is key to help support the ball higher up the pitch and it gives the back 3 a long diagonal pass out if needed.

Hopefully McNeil is on set-pieces to allow our attacking advantage from our defenders and Onana.

Our bench will be very weak with not much I terms of options:
Allan, Davies, Keane, Coleman, Vinagre and possibly Gbamin and Gomes

3-4-3 at home and I suspect Dele and Gordon will have a slight knock and ruled out due to transfer speculation.

COYB!
