Match Thread Everton v Notts Forest. Sun Dec 29th. 3pm

[Mr Happy]

Forest will almost certainly finish in the top 6 this season and they've already beaten the likes of the RS, Villa and Spurs. Also Man Utd at Old Trafford.

If our fans are really up for this one, we could sneak it. The Grand Old Lady, when she's rocking, can sometimes get us over the line.

Frankly, though, I'd be happy with a draw.

Almost certainly ! Big shout that

 

[Mr Happy]

This on tv?

No bro. Thought Mr.Dodgy should have a firestick sorted for you by now

Top 8-9 for me, although still an incredible season. At some point that absolute cart horse Chris Wood has to stop scoring goals. He's been useless for years yet is somehow enjoying the best period of his career out of nowhere.

that's because Dyche has managed him in the past

Think we will win by a single goal. COYB

 

[jimmythenut]

If Forest keep up their form and keep winning they end up playing Champions League next season. For that reason alone , I think we win and give them a bit of a reality check

 

[AsiaAsia82]

0-0, with 23% possession and maybe a booking for Pickford for time wasting.

 

[Look to the future]

2-1 to the toffee’s, DCL to score a goal (1v1 with the keeper - judged onside after 5min of line drawing).

[arch stanton]

Should be a terrible game tbh, we’ll win this 0-0…….. both sides with 30% possession

FTFY

Yes i thought the same mate.

Love peoples confidence in this considering these are currently on a par with Arsenal and Chelsea. Would love a win and we simply have to start winning games but these are currently miles better than us.

Give us an unexpected Christmas present please blues.

Remember when we were linked with elanga with him set to come on loan, but he wasn't fond of how dyche setup his team so he opted with forest now he's thriving with a high flying forest in third so seems like he made the correct choice

I didn't know that was why he didn't come. I suppose it ought to be obvious that some players consider whether or not they want to play for a proposed new manager - it's not always just about money. Strangely enough I thought we'd signed him when Mangala arrived. Elanga/Mangala, an easy mistake given my memory for names.
