Match Thread Nottingham Forest vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[kleew]

Would consider this a away game for us. Sean has done a good job in improving players stamina. Our best defense is relentless pressing and this ease off pressure on backline. A careless miss pass did cost us the win but we could have easily lose this game under other manager. We need to continue to stay positive and hopefully this improved work rate from players will finally bring us a string of good results

 

[Bob Latchford]

Not harsh at all - you have subs, use them, freshen it up.

Keeping a crap AND tired Doucure in is just waiting for disaster. Gray's not had a meaningful touch on the ball for about 15 min. If we're looking for any type of attack - Vinagre as a winger, Simms+Maupay up front, who's arsed, take a risk if we wanna stay up. These are somehow as bad as us at the back and we've no tried to capitalise all 2nd half.

Using subs - who are crap just for the sake of it wouldn’t be my call but fair enough.

Im arsed….

Putting Simms and Maupay up top to chase the win would have been interesting.

 

[Cels]

The trapdoor is creaking away, but at least it makes for an exciting season for us

 

[parkendkev]

Threw that away, should have gone for the throat when we had our chances, they were there for the taking. Too conservative in our play.

 

[Drico]

I'm not trying to overthink it. A win next week will that this draw fine as it will be 4 points to Everton over two games, which is good

There's no overthinking involved. The advantages of beating your direct rivals is not Mensa stuff.

 

[lieneverton]

Signs for encouragement going forward but can simply not pass up an opportunity to win any game like that, in our situation.

 

[Melchizedek]

Is Tom Davies the worst so called professional player in the English pyramid?

No, but the worst player also happens to play for Everton. Neal Maupay. Davies a very close second though.

 

[JohnRoss23]

Time wasting by the corner flag instead of going for the killer 3 rd goal ? That was as early as the 65th minutes on the clock ?

Nothing positive about that 2nd half & his substitutions? Maupay & Davies fgs?

I agree, Joey. A blunder from Dyche today and the way he went about it

 

[maccavennie]

Forest are a really poor team, we were dominating them for large periods and plenty of chances to be out of sight. We won’t have a better chance than that away from home.

Yep, we're running out of games now where you'd say "that's a good chance for a win".

Should have killed that game off and that's a massive 2 points dropped

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

That second half was seriously piss poor.

 

[coollino]

There's no overthinking involved. The advantages of beating your direct rivals is not Mensa stuff.

But going above other rivals is also good

 

[mahermi1]

The referee was a parody, how did Davies get booked and not Denis who practically tried to rip his head off, the crowd reffereed that game, just like us to get a homer. Ref bottled the whole game along with Dyche.

 

[Mr PEN86]

This result today is not on the footballers, or the management.

The officiating today was 100% committed to sticking it to Everton in anyway possible.

Clear and obvious bias.

It would appear the Premier League officials are committed to relegating Everton.

How can this be permitted? There should be a formal investigation and officials need to be sacked.

Hmm tbh the ref was a bit rubbish for both teams

 

[faddy the blue]

Swap Gana for Iwobi in the middle third, put Gray on the wing. Or get Garner up to pace asap for Gana.

 

[Bob Latchford]

How is it harsh? When players are goosed, sometimes fresh legs are required. Have been losing the midfield battle for a bit - give Garner a spin.

Simms up top for Doucoure.

And then when he does make a sub it's Maupay and Tom Davies

I know mate….
It’s the futility of it all…. Making subs with this crew was the proverbial turd polishing
