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

[arch stanton]

I think id go with

Pickford

Garner
Tarkowski
Branthwaite (pray he’s fit)
Mykelenko

Gana
Onana

Harrison
Doucoure
Mcneill

Dcl

I like the garner at RB call, but I'd punt Chermiti into the Duke's slot, Doucs has stunk the gaff out for months and shown nothing so try the kid who had a bit of pace and needs to be tried

I’d actually be surprised if Onana starts today. Think Dyche will bench him. Gomes and Gana will be in.

I thought the same the more I thought about it. Hooking our ‘on paper best midfielder’ at half time is a statement. He’s going to want big energy and press today as they have to get the crowd behind them.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I’d have Gana play and just chase Gibbs-White all round the pitch. Follow him everywhere, chase him down the tunnel to the changing rooms at half time, don’t give him an inch. They’ll create little without him.

It is nearly 8am to be fair.

Was joking I’ve slept loads

 

[Marc bolan]

I’m not sure that’s technically or humanly possible.
Today will be like a trip to the dentist. Wednesday will be like the follow-up to that trip but for treatment with no anaesthetic and Jeffrey Darmer on the tools.

And also a huge bill to pay

I’m expecting nothing from the Derby regardless.
Todays game is winnable, but I don’t trust us to make it that way.

And pull tongues at him every few minutes to wind him up and possibly draw a red card!

 

[Blue Smoke]

Wish i could be more positive but worried the players have downed tools.
For dyche to be talking about addressing the players over whether they want another manager in again, is worrying.

 

[GoldenToffee]

If any players down tools they're downing tools on the fans that pay their wages. If any are suspected of that then they need to be booed out of the club. Haven't seen it yet but a few more disgraceful defeats and I'd say the whole team has as there really are no excuses not to beat Forest and Sheffield United at home and avoid defeat to Brentford and Luton.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

How are everyone's arses? Not going to be enjoyable to watch I'd wager.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

First of 6 potential cup finals start today. Hopefully we only need to win 2 or 3 of them.

I’m not gonna slag off the starting 11 because there are no guarantees that anyone in this squad can step up and make the difference anyway, all very much of a muchness these days.

Need to find a way to win. Don’t care how anymore, I’ll take 6 more Burnley games between now and May 19th.

 

[Blue Willy]

Just dont lose. Even a point could keep us safe, as Luton would need a win and a draw, or four draws and us to lose all our remaining games. Just dont lose Everton!

 

[mikel_88]

Just win today please everton players will see the lengths the fans have gone to back them today with the 1878 getting all the flags. Just get the 3 points

Think he’d do better up top with DCL behind him myself.
