[Listen 'ere young man]

Can't complain about the starting XI.

Completely down to the players now.

Don't leave anything on the pitch as they say

No Yates. Good.

Let's keep 11 on the pitch.

I just like Yates when we are defending corners..

 

[Matt]

Presumably, MGW will pay from the right wing, which was arguably a core aggravating factor in Cooper's sacking.

Almost certainly Reyna plays wide as he did vs Wolves

 

[psycho]

I never like dropping yates but especially not for this one. Trying to look on the bright side, whilst it makes us even weaker at defending set pieces, we will perhaps concede fewer free kicks in the first place.

 

[Notcher]

Let's face it, we've still not been any better off set pieces with him either. Dominguez will get us moving forward more proactively on the transition and link up the play much better from back to front.

 

[PynchonForest]

Nice to see the Dominguez-Danilo axis in the center of the park. Let's hope Reyna stamps something on this game, and we can keep Calvert Lewin and their two wingers (Harrison and MacNeil) under wraps. After Omo getting schooled not surprising to see Naikhate in. I would expect this is going to be an explosive game, and a red card would not surprise me.

 

[Major Oak Morgan]

Very technically adept starting 11 for Forest. Let’s hope we blow them away

 

[Alan Akbah]

Nothing wrong with a bit of steel. My favourite players have always been those that bleed for the Garibaldi.

Maybe we'll get a 15 minute cameo. I'll take that, but let's get some goals first.

 

[Bob Fossil]

I'm just glad Nuno read my posts and agrees about Danilo, Dominguez & Niakhate to be honest.

I also went to the last match in Division One May 72, Cormack scored, evening kick off ,very few there. But I do have a slight soft spot for Everton as that night about a 100 of us went in the Gwladys end( which was a stupid thing to do) and when we announced ourselves all hell broke loose. We had no chance we just got penned in and battered,trying to get out was a nightmare until two(dockers)grabbed me and my mate and took us out,watched the second half with them and then they took us back to our car.
Our only defence was that it was our last match in Division One and we were going out in style! It was the 70’s!

Just remember Brian Labone, acting on Joe Mercer's instructions, ending the career of Zigger Zagger .
The only soft spot for everton is a bog in the middle of Ireland.
I can never forgive and forget that.

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

The only thing I don't like is Reyna but appreciate Elanga might not be ready to start.

 

[Notcher]

Easy f***ing win today

Edit: Drunk

Christ Thomas, 11.1%!!! I'm surprised you're not absolutely c*ntlashed

Joe Mercer never managed Everton Capn (it was Harry Catterick), though I agree with your sentiment nonetheless.

I was relying on my memory - I should have checked... Harry Catterick more likely 5to be the manager at the time?

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Probably as good a line-up as we can field considering injuries & fitness.

My only real concern is that Dom+Danilo+Reyna leaves the midfield pretty thin on consistency. We really need Danilo & Dom to be on their game, and not having one of their off-days.

 

[blue_eyes777]

Where will people be watching today's game?
Me and the Mrs will be sat in the lounge, with our forest shirts and scarves on, hoping the lads turn up and deliver a win.
Where will y'all be?

Amsterdam.

Great to see Elanga back. Hopefully he can make an impact from the bench.

We have enough quality to win this, just need to stop making the defensive errors.

I guess we are gonna play our own attacking game and not get dragged in to a battle. Could be a high scoring game.

 

[Captain Sinister]

My only real concern about our starting line up is the average height being less than 6 foot, and the average age being 23.

(Both Stats made up by me to support my argument).

 

[HBB]

Personally I'm happy they've gone for DCL - has a horrible goal scoring record of late, wheras Beto for all his faults puts himself around alot

 

[daniel]

No Yates no win that’s been a rule for some time

 

[terrier57]

Our best chance to win is to score in the 97th minute. They kick off and the Ref blows the whistle a minute later.

 

[T.B.T.]

Elanga = Super-sub

Everton were absolutely planning to target Yates. Nikahate is an unknown for Everton
