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

[BlueStevie35]

Go for a win ffs.

Pickford

Patterson Coady Tarkowski Vinagre

Allan Onana

Gordon Iwobi Gray

Rondon

Why would you take out Holgate when Tarkowski has had the ropey moments?

 

[only_sleeping]

We should have accepted the 45 million for Gordon. Nobody at Chelsea who’s in their right mind is watching this and thinking he’s worth another 5 million.

 

[IrishToffee37]

Would like to see Gray off for Onana and iwobi moving a little wider for the last 20 mins or so

Davies is?

How's he supposed to show for a football when him and iwobi are 2 against 3?

The forward line are hanging them out to dry and that's why we keep going long.

Iwobi is doing it. Onana will probably do it when he's on.

 

[Dirk Furtull]

Decent first half from us as we're still finding our way in this league. I expect to see MGW in the second half at some point, poss Surridge too, should liven us up a bit. Forest fans are in good voice as ever.

Playing with 3 at the back and no wing backs against a weak side like Forest .... How do you want to win games like that?

I thought he started well but fell off after 30 minutes or so.

I think the front three have been worse than him personally.

His pathetic attempt at a pass when Iwobi played a clever ball behind their midfield sticks to mind.


Iwobi on a positive note has been very good.

 

[nonstripdzebra]

First twenty minutes were quite strong. Decent efforts some nice combinations of play, but then not capitalizing seemed to be on the back foot and lack a response. Welcomed half

His touch was poor 2 times in the box one of the totally free and a woeful overshot pass with a great opportunity.

 

[kenada_blue]

The Davies agenda in full effect.

Apparently the worst player on the pitch when Tarkowski has squared it to Forest about 3 times.

Da's gonna Da I suppose...

Davies has been fine, out biggest goal threat funny enough.

He's been all over the shop on transition though. Nowhere near anyone. Gana instantly fixes that

 

[tnc85]

0-0 at home to forest is not going to help us in any way

I agree but getting points on the board is needed. We’ll start picking up wins once we’ve bought more players this transfer window. I’m confident we’ll add quality.

 

[MACCA75]

He scored a few pearlers from there last season

The corner of the 18 yard box? He needs to learn to pass. He put some great crosses across the 6 yard line early last season but seems to have stopped.

 

[riddick]

I feel like in training we really should be teaching players shoot directly at the keeper. Because they only seem to shoot directly at the keeper in a match. Maybe then they'd faff it and score a couple.

Doesn’t even try for the ball mate. It’s been six years, stop defending him. He isn’t a kid anymore.

One moment when We countered from Gordon’s crosffield, gray got it but needed Davies to come getting off him. Didn’t even bother. He is scared of it. Like Doucoure, Gomes.

He scored 1

He needs to stop it it's soul destroying
