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

[Dharma]

Won't lie I'm a bit scaredy waredy at the thought of Anthony Elanga running up against Godfrey/Coleman/Young/Garner (delete as applicable) today chaps.

Tbf they have players all over the pitch mutch better than ours. Without a doubt they will boss and control the game.
If we can keep them from scoring, thats all we can ask.

 

[Tipp blue]

The worry with Forest is the pace on the break, don't think starting 442 and going for it does it today, we need to be smart and compact.

We should be 4-4-2, the reason being we don't have a player capable of doing the striker job solo, which they have been asked to do all season.

 

[Drico]

Fully expecting another cowardly clown show, today.

These disappointments haven't got the bottle to see us safe earlier than the Sheffield United game, and if they are depending on a win that day to stay up, we should all prepare ourselves for the worst.

We'll capitulate as soon as we concede today. No doubt the manager will find a place for Ashley Young.

Beto just isn't the guy to be starting.

Oh my glob they've got Origi. I'm getting flashbacks

Hopefully one of our aimless punts up front will earn us a corner and we can scramble it in. But make no mistake, forest are where they are because they are also sheet

To beat forest you cannot allow them counter attacks

You can beat them on set plays but they will beat us if we leave space when we lose the ball.

None of our forwards are if they are being asked to go as a lone striker.. it would be better to go 4-6-0 rather than 1 of our strikers on their own.

When we lose the ball, eh?

It's a good thing our players have such a good touch and we are renowned as a passing side.

I celebrate when we complete 3 passes

 

[Kurt.]

This is a must win game for us

So I predict we lose 3-0
