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

I hope its high energy and pressing might be our best chances although Forest are a good side and have spent a lot they will be still settling as a side we need to put them under pressure at the back. Not the best options to do it but it needs to be a relentless performance.

Going to be a tough game, hopefully we be playing higher up the pitch and taking the game to forest. Will we see a 3 man midfield with the introduction of the new lad giving the protection that will allow us to play a back 4 ??

Forest fan here - looking forward to a good game and it’s great to be back at grounds like Goodison Park. Like the City Ground, a proper old football stadium steeped in history. Anyway - I Think our starting lineup will be similar to Wet Spam. Nobody played badly and Coops is a strong believer in “It’s your shirt to lose“. The difference is we now have much better options to come off the bench.

Good luck

I hope you enjoy the game, nice to see Forest back where Clough put them, some character that man, spoiled by the same illness that gripped Howard Kendall.

Think he was referring to Robertson at RB

Oh how love the smell of dread the night before a match.

Sorry mate - not even close - The fans were onside pretty much from the moment Cooper came in. Unless you are a Forest fan, you won’t be aware of just how deep Cooper’s revolution goes. Comparisons with the great Cloughy are obvious and a bit cliched. A good comparison would be the impact Shankley had on your neighbours.

in simple terms - even if we go down “in Cooper we trust” - the bloke is a legend.

thats what leeds fans said about bielsa

That's Forests new owner in a huge drugs scandal in Greece. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm delighted that Forest are back in the top flight. They should never have been out of it as long as they were.

I hope we smash them today obviously, but other than that i wish them well. Hopefully they'll stay up this season.

I confidently predict that after an eventful second half in which we get two players stretchered off, and Lampard gets red carded, Onana will come on in the 85th minute and spark an Everton comeback, culminating in Gordon scoring the winning goal in the 107th minute, then whipping off his shirt to reveal a t-shirt saying "Once A Blue Always A Blue".
