I said in a post on here it would be a tight game. Everton are a difficult proposition under Moyes, typically well organised, aggressive, physical and niggly. The lad Branthwaite and one or two others should have been booked much earlier than they were.
It was all the more surprising, then, that Yates didn't start. Their midfield bullied our throughout. Dominquez is an excellent hard working player but, oddly for an Argentinan, doesn't possess the " dark arts". They established control early and never lost it. I think Yates would have changed that.
The crowd was tense and quiet throughout, perhaps, like most of the players, overawed by the enormity of what was at stake. Another reason for Yates influence as captain.
I'd have been happy with a draw as the game went on. Harrison was a constant menace against Moreno. We need Aina back asap. To lose as we did was a grievous blow. It had a draw or a one goal all over it, as I predicted. We never got going, no rhythm, passes going astray, panicky under pressure. Of the teams, Everton deserved it and seemed to want it more than us.
I said to the bloke sitting next to me we'd pushed too far up for the corner, perhaps too excited as it was our first, I believe, in the last minute. Aina might have been quick enough to recover Murillos error?
On the positive side, we have Wood and Elanga back and Spurs attacking style may suit us rather than Everton's stifling approach.
Keep the faith, look how far we've come this season. I believe we will finish in the top 5.
Coyr!

I predicted a tough game stokey. but not one where we just didn't turn up. if we'd of been at our best we would of walked over Everton no excuses for the forest performance at all.

Sometimes, Skegs, you can only play as well as the opposition allows you to. Everton stifled us and we couldn’t express ourselves. I thought nailed on draw if we were lucky until the extra time catastrophe.

13 Apr 2025 15:14:24

DTP - I could be your type. Have you ever watched 'stumpy sex' porn? Don't knock it before you try it mate.
Sorry Ed - I understand if you don't post this!
{Ed001's Note - I don't even want to know what that is!}
13 Apr 2025 21:36:22
I bet, secretly, you do Ed1! I hear Liverpool is the UK epicentre for stumpy sex.
I'm thinking about re-locating.
{Ed001's Note - I wish I had some kind of comeback to that, but I am just worried about what kind of sites my news feed will show me now this has been through my browser!}
13 Apr 2025 21:40:07
Why would anyone ask that question? ?.
13 Apr 2025 22:04:38
Someone with a slightly sick sense of humour DTP. It's a joke mate and a piss-take at myself. Maybe you need to learn some lateral-thinking and a more diverse SOH?

Some types of comedy/ jokes aren't allowed anymore, Lego. Because somebody somewhere might choose to get offended on somebody else's behalf.
