Match Thread Everton v Nottingham Forest - Pre-Match Chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

Would you take a point right now with Brentford and Sheff Utd to come at home and Luton away in the next few weeks?

Most people (rightly IMO) now seem to believe that 4 points should be enough to save us.

Yep would definitely take a point. That would put us 3 ahead of Luton with a vastly superior goal difference, and keep Forest below us.

And the argument then is,if we can't scrape 4 points, we deserve nothing.

Luton: I think Burnley being able to overtake them will way heavily on them.

Up until this point they were the team that could get out of the relegation zone by putting a team above them in trouble. Having Burnley being capable of leapfrogging them and cementing them in the bottom three will demoralise that team further.

it could also inspire them to try harder....

Too little too late for Burnley though. There's not an awful lot of points left for them in their last 4.

Burnley have Man Utd (away), Newcastle (home), Spurs (away) & last day Notts Forest (home)

They’re not catching us

They had the chance to get out of the relegation zone today and couldn't even rouse themselves.

Going into Brentford 5 points clear of Luton with 4 games to go would alleviate so much pressure. I think a win tomorrow would spur us on in our final home games against Brentford and Sheff Utd. I feel if we don't win tomorrow and given the obvious defeat against Liverpool, Brentford becomes a very anxious day.

Due to that defeat today and the nature of it I think that a win tomorrow will more than likely seal our PL status. I'd also say a draw tomorrow - while not great - would still place us very much in the driving seat.

Yes must not lose game tomorrow.

True enough mate, but they will have better days, will we?? I'm not sure we've another win in us.

There's always a surprising result or two in the last couple of weeks...

One of them might actually be an everton win.. but I wouldn't hold.your breath..

If we can get a win tomorrow - it's one big step to safety - draw at Luton & beat Sheffield United, we stay up IMO - looked at the table those 8 points would have us mid table doh - COYB

**** the owner
**** the takeover
**** the players
**** the manager
If you are going tomorrow dont give those players any excuse. We need a bear pit now and for the rest of our home games. These players need dragging over the line.
This is our club.
UTFT.

100% right....OUR Club.

I can see a scenario were we don't win again this season & still stay up.
Draw tomorrow, Draws with Luton & Brentford & getting a point back on appeal staying up with 31 points

Just win tomorrow please

Wednesday that’s happening as we send Klump packing with nowt.

We're talking about the most incompetent Everton side in living memory BTW. I honestly feel the only way we stay up is if Luton don't win another match.

We need to be brave and go for the 3 points tomorrow. They need to shoot at goal more and try whatever to have shots on goal and get into positions to shoot
