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

[Zatara]

After 3 good draws can we win a game .
Won't be easy but it's very achievable. We haven't a bad record since they came back up really.
@matty1878 prediction mate ?

And yes I called them Notts forest on purpose
UTFT

Should have gone the whole way...

Notts Forrest

Ffs

 

[matty1878]

Dyche will set us up to try to defend a loss.

how can you set yo to defend a loss if you haven’t played

 

[matty1878]

I mean a draw against Forest isn't terrible but at the same time it's another home game without a win. If you're saying it's going to be a defensive mindset against Forest and Bournemouth (which I don't disagree with) not sure what's going to be different against Villa and Spurs. Or indeed Brighton away.

Don't really want to be going into a situation sleepwalking with draws, there's a few more shock results from teams around and suddenly Leicester at home becomes this monumental six pointer.

That can be avoided.

ye we need wins now

The Mighty Forest. As much as it depresses me seeing them where they are, let it be a lesson to the utter dog fans and management / board we have that tell us we don't have the right to think about let alone compete with the "big boys".

Sure we can finish above the bottom 3 and get to Bramley Moore. Life's good.

Mad statement mate. Were they anywhere near the sort of financial calamity we were in?

I'm afraid just calling Evertons results 'not acceptable' does nothing to help us win games.

 

[kiss the crest]

if we play well here against these we may get another point

 

[allen]

It’s the way we set up against most teams mate, park the bus and hope to nick one from a set piece.

Absolutely. Could easily have been the case again today.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Be a bit weird. They are most dangerous on the counter and are happy to surrender possession. We are allergic to possession and don’t know what to do with it when we have it. Both teams could end up with 25% possession.

Their 2 CBs will be more than happy tussling with Dom. Try something different.

 

[MikeH72]

Ye I don't think this one will go well for us.

With the way we play vs the wah they play I can't see anything other than a loss.

If we lose this game then the manager should be sacked. 17 points from 18 games would be unacceptable, and half the season gone. It’s a must win game.

Another 0-0 win, I reckon

Keano and Youngy up front?

 

[AirMo]

0-0 as usual. Will actually put money on a draw.

 

[matty1878]

got to win this

 

[Number_25]

Easiest 4-0 home win of all time.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

A win for the Dychettes please. The result to truly kick-start the squabbling.

Make it so, Everton.

 

[jazzy]

I'm going to this one so put your money on a Forest win lads
