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

[Toffeepot]

The good news is we are usually worse second half because they have their heads full of dyche clichés lol

 

[DualityNSNO]

He's important in this set up, not it's a 100% certainty we fall apart without him.

He's important in the set up centered around him, shocking if he wasn't.

Happened last year though - Doucoure got the stupidest red card we had all season and we proceeded to forget how to play football for 3 games. Hope you're right and Dyche has learned, but "Dyche has learned" is also not something that happens so...

 

[Davideeyore]

Disappointed, looks like a bit of a disorganised mess. Come on Dyche some proper structure and passing eh. These are there for the taking

 

[Bebeto]

Forest are there for the taking with a bit more considered approach play...

And with a striker than can shoot...with beto no chance

 

[maccavennie]

McNeil’s done alright and was unlucky to score tbh

Harrison has been woeful though

Mcneil bar getting one shot cleared off the line has misplaced every single pass, lost every single 50/50 and hasn't done anything of any note except miss a chance to score.

I don't even blame him for the miss as the ball was pathetic from Doucoure.

 

[wellillwill]

This has 1 nil defeat written through it like a stick of Blackpool rock.

 

[JLW]

Garbage that Forest there for the taking but bloody hell watching us makes my eyes bleed

 

[the golden visionary]

There's only one word to describe our efforts in the final flthird adequately

Pathetic

 

[Parker]

Good half that, we seem to play with more intensity away than at Goodison which is absolutely mental

 

[banno]

Not too shabby. I am not one for dissecting every single pass, every little mistake etc because misplaced passes and little mistakes do happen and are part and parcel of football.
I am not expecting perfection all the time yet some comments on here are beyond belief.
Yes we should be winning, Yes they are getting around our full back positions a little too easy but overall not a bad performance and we hopefully can take that into the second half

 

[jazzy]

Same old story.

Good chances , can't score .

Sorry but I've seen this movie before.

That Beto miss is shocking. He's supposed to be a striker yet his finish was Gana Gueye

 

[Walken]

I wouldn't mind seeing the set up we tried out away at villa in the cup if we did, a much more flexible one.

 

[Parker]

That goalkeeper is pony btw we need to be peppering him with crosses.

 

[Victus]

Thought we were unfortunate not to be 2 nil up, plenty of time to win this.

 

[maccavennie]

Beto isn't helping him.

Ronaldinho in his pomp wouldn't be able to find Beto here. He has to start making himself more available/finding favourable runs.

He's been shocking, not making any runs in front of his defender. The sitter is grim but his all round play has been atrocious. At one point as a cross came in he wasn't even looking where the ball bloody was.

Needs to do far far more as a front man.
