Match Thread Nottingham Forest v Everton - Team prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[blueblue]

I could have given it to Tarkoswki, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Garner , Gueye but I ga e it to McNeill because he was excellent anyway but also scored.

Garner, Branthwaite and McNeill in particular must be worth multiples of what they cost.

I thought Gueye was the clear MotM. His movement was excellent and linked play very well in the attacking half. Seemed to cover every blade of grass the lad constantly winning possession all over the pitch.

I voted garner, but it was close agree gana was excellent.
His passing was better than usual today.

Great result. Our away form is excellent. I went for Garner as MOTM but could have been Gueye too.

Looking at points-per-game tonight, it makes interesting reading as an indicator as to what each time will ultimately achieve at the end of the season.
Sheff Utd = 14
Burnley = 19
Luton = 24
Bournemouth = 35
Forest = 35
Everton = 36 (46 if the points deduction is removed)

Given the above, and that there are still 24 games left to play, I think an average of a point per game would be sufficient to stay up, even allowing for Luton and Burnley picking up another 3-4 points. And our goal difference is way better than theirs.

Stay positive, we can do it!

Forgot to say, if we hadn’t been deducted 10pts we would be above Chelsea today.

 

[peteblue]

Could easily have been 0-2 or 1-1, we got the result we needed….. 0-1

Jimmy G is that good that when scousers go on holiday they say they are from The Wirral.

 

[blueblood]

We’re only 6 points behind Forest now. Feels like a massive win today. Stops a narrative of ‘players affected by off field turmoil.’ Psychologically important in moving us up a couple of places. Well played lads!

I think we all know that the -10 points will have no effect on us staying up, just on our eventual league placing…..

 

[MrGrumpy]

Great result Blues up to 11th with 17 points(when they come back)

 

[Verbal Kint]

When we went ahead I never felt uncomfortable. That's a new feeling, just wish we could hold the ball better, Garner became a real leader today, absolutely glorious him bollocking Pickford out of it for throwing the ball away. It sent Pickford into one of those spasms face gurning sessions he has every so often..... He deserved every bit of it.....
Good core of youngsters showing Leadership now, Garner, Braintwaite, Mykolenko is even starting to get more vocal.

Good result count

The horsepunchers deserve a battering Thursday

 

[Bedfordblue]

A lot of analysis on Sky about the shirt pull by Doucs and whether it should have been a pen or not, yet very little about there C/H being excused a blatant 2nd yellow

 

[deipnosophist]

How are you keeping mate?

You are more infrequent these days.

I am very well mate...and thank you for asking. And yes, I am a less frequent habitué of this site these days but still pop in from time to time to get the low down on all things Everton. Made up with the 3 points vs Forrest...reckon we'll avoid the drop by virtue of the absolute dross that comprises over a quarter of the 'premier' (lol) league. But I am something of a conspiracy theorist regarding the 'powers-that-be' that lurk at PL HQ...I am convinced there is an orchestrated effort to nobble us.
Anyway mate...have a great Blue Chrimbo!

This is an away machine. I like it. Disciplined.

You build the structure and then you start winning. Everything.
