Behave yourself lol he just cut your entire midfield open

I mean, that doesn’t mean he’s any good! Have you seen our midfield this season?!

Their CB looks very good Augard ?


Surprised they took off Benrhama - was starting to look dangerous.

Spend £600mil to be closer to the relegation zone than the European spots - they should have given the job to Emma Hayes

All joking aside, Lampard was a ludicrous appointment. It’s all well and good “holding the fort” pending a new appointment, but losing five on the spin isn’t holding the fort. It’s a disaster.

It’s a joke of an appointment - he was poor the first time around , was poor at Everton - everything they have done this season shows a complete lack of understanding of the game

Don't think even the officials understand handball anymore

One week that's given this week not

Begining of season that was 100% pen now it's not .. make your minds up

I love Nottingham Forest this evening!

Depends on which team is getting it...

Depends on which team us getting it...

Worrying it always seems like that

Ah well good game

At least we are going for it

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Satisfying win - always good to beat Moyes. Who knows with handball rule

Forest win puts Everton in more trouble - good all round then

Not sure why they are blaming VAR for then handball issue

Yes agree the handball rule is a joke.
seen them given .but they usually don’t if your falling over.

good game imo ,bit nerves at the end .
thought we played very well but final ball is still not quite there.

Yes it’s still a ref giving his opinion.

At least when it was if it touches the hand it's hand ball it made it very binary rather than is it natural, is it ball to hand etc

Only bit for me tonight is it wasn't once it hit his hand it was twice

Tbh he shouldn’t be going to ground in the penalty area.
The rule is a joke and every time they try to clarify it they make it worse.

it's a pen for me. Been very lucky there, in my opinion.

Cracking game though. Still not convinced with Trent in midfield from a team perspective. we're just playing without a right back, so I'm sure many will argue nothing has changed! I believe that is our first win in the league in that ridiculous white kit this season too.

@clubchamp98 @hairball_89 least we can all agree it was a cracking game

Not the result I personally wanted. Would have settled for a draw before the game

But we didn't get battered and we starting to play some very nice football

Need to beat palace at the weekend then can rest the entire 11 against citeh to do everyone a favour and keep arsenal from the title

UP THE MIGHTY REDS!

Fully deserved win. Danilo, at 19 years of age, is a future Brazilian international. Simply incredible tonight.

Two worrying injuries to Neco and Niakhaté but hopefully nothing too serious.

Looked like a team who wants to fight (finally!)

Oh look! @Aztecs27 is talking about Forest injuries... AGAIN!

50/50 for me.

agree TAA but he played ver well first half.
He did leave us light at the back but think he might play there in the future.
with a RB in place ,might only need one midfielder then .

Don’t think City need your help now.
