Nottingham Forest 0-2 Everton - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday's Premier League between Nottingham Forest and Everton.

Here are some of your comments:

Forest fans

Gary: We lacked quality going forward and looked flat-footed at the back. Morgan Gibbs-White is way off last season's form and without Chris Wood's goals, he doesn't look a threat. We should just about stay up as the three below us are poor.

Sean: It's baffling that we attempted 52 crosses in this match only to see them easily dealt with by the Everton defenders, and we didn't decide to change our approach. It was a pedestrian approach to chasing the game. We needed a plan B and there was very little as an alternative. The second half we had so many corners but still couldn't beat the first man.

Paul: The recruitment at Forest has to be questioned. Injuries have not been kind but we spent close to £200m in the summer with the league and Europe in mind but arguably, we actually have a worse squad than last year. Hard to see where goals will come from and having a goalscorer is imperative in a relegation scrap.

Ian: Outcoached, and in James Garner, Everton had the best player on the pitch.

Everton fans

Carlos: What a great performance from the whole team. Garner has been going through the motions the last couple of years but has stepped up big time this season and has consistently shown talent, grit and leadership. Tim Iroegbunam played really well too and the players coming in showed a lot of promise.

Ian: We were all worried about the weakened team, all apart from David Moyes, who showed what a great manager he is for us. Many give him stick for being cautious but our shape keeps us in games when we shouldn't.

Francis: This is Everton's B team and yet... they are not! Wonderfully organised in defence and Garner was a class act. Thierno Barry is building his self-confidence. Dribbling great potential and last but not least, Iroegbunam may establish himself to challenge Idrissa Gueye!

John: Classic away performance. Great defending and a couple of clinical finishes. James Garner absolutely brilliant as man of the match.
