A strong finish to the season and hopefully we can add some quality in the summer and build on the new found confidence…a 20+ goal striker would be nice for starters !

As usual Lyndon good report on the game, just a shame you're not getting the reader responses you deserve.

Great report Lyndon and a great result today thoroughly deserved and warranted by a great away performance.

On the subject of things being thoroughly deserved - Harrison and Doucoure have come in for some warranted stick over the last month or so however credit where credit is due, both were much improved today.

Measured, calm, & almost neutral (a compliment) in its style, Lyndon has nailed it again.
I would be happy to read this piece as a substitute for MOTD.
One quibble; 'in transition' as a phrase irritates me.
It is fast becoming a cliche and I can't rid my mind of an incongruous image of gender change.

Good report as ever Lyndon.

A sterling performance, of which, personally, I thought Broja was the only Downside.

How satisfying to see that Sea of Red and white supporters heading for the exit, after the much aligned Doucoure, had dispatched that incisive pass, with the aplomb of a centre forward

I felt absolutely humbled by the show of gratitude shown by Ducoure and his allies at the end, to the away supporters.

I thought Harrison had his best game of the season… in my opinion.

Although, I have strongly criticised, both, Harrison and Doucore in recent weeks, I feel that I’m entitled to at least a slice of Humble Pie.. with Dijon Mustard please !

A complete performance, our best of the season. It deserved two or three more goals but a late winner always tastes sweet especially away from home against a team in the top four.

Forest were clinging on in the last half hour. They took an age at every stoppage, seemingly content to take a point from a game in which they were made to look anything but Champions League aspirants.

It is interesting to note that we had 58% possession today, our highest percentage of possession in league games since we played Forest at home in December when we had 64%.

The fact that Forest are third should give us great hope for next season. We showed them that they are nothing special. The best moments for me were seeing the Everton fans reveling after the home fans had left.

From the minute Alcaraz came on I thought he was a real driving force.

We were already on top but it became wave after wave of attacks and he was at the heart of a lot of it.

If we'd had more clinical finishes in the team it would have been a far more compfortable win.

I loved how they just kept going until they got the goal. Has to be one of the best away displays of the last few seasons.

Four points from the top three and certainly no disgrace in losing to the top side [name never to be mentioned] Moyes has certainly turned a team with no confidence and no goals into a team that few CL aspirants wish to encounter.

The last 25 minutes we were marvelous. Before that I actually thought the game was boring, but on the road we were "doing a Moyes" and trying to play conservative football.

The big difference in the squad is getting goals, and a lack of space between the back line, the midfield, and the attacking front. We're playing with more options, and in a more "team" fashion.

There's still a ton of improvement to be had, and there's still frustration. But all of that dissipates when:
I've watched the away fans celebrate about 100 times today on replay. It's priceless.

There's hope and joy back. After many years of walking through the desert and looking into the abyss, there's real hope for the future.

I never want to go near that abyss again. Relegation is an exercise in despair, and it's awful.

Keep it up Davey.

Another quick post... pretty silly really, but...

I love the fact Dwight McNeil wears black boots.

Screams Old School to me. Love it.

Good report - thank you

As usual, a quality report Lyndon. What a pleasure to see that performance. Delighted with the result and the the late goal.

It was a joy to see the travelling fans explode with happiness when Doucore netted and, at the same time, see the total shock on the Forest fans faces.

My only slight quibble is I would prefer to see Chermiti given a run out in preference to Broja

Chris Keher 9
I totally agree about the Alcaraz comments.
although, Just as well he didn’t replace Doucoure !

It’s true that we do lack potency in attack.
I feel that Ndiaye should be moved to a more central role, as
He seems to have an awful lot of Work to do, to get himself central and is very often crowded out, by two, or three opponents.

Our Defence is growing in stature, as the season moves on and is proving to be a very reliable unit.. almost Bunkeresque!
No fears going into BMD with this back line.

When you consider our performance against the RS, the Draw against Arsenal and now this one, against a Top six team, our Form is showing up very well, in a league of Form.
The fear of meeting Top end sides has dissipated and has been replaced by positive anticipation.

For myself, atm, the games against these sides can’t come around fast enough.
the Irony of it is Blatant, compared to the Run-Ins of the last Three Seasons.

Great review Lyndon! Enjoying looking forward to games again!

Great report Lyndon, I'd give Doucoure a new contract just for the cheekiness of the celebration!

Excellent match report, as always, ta Lyndon.

Next season could be very interesting, if we get our act together over the summer. This League, it seems to me, is quite wide open.

Up to 13th now after ManU lose to the barcodes. COYB.

Another thing That I remarked about yesterday’s game was, that, I couldn’t see Chris Woods for the Trees!

Had to pop in Lyndon. I miss your reports (and previews). This was typical of your high standard. Cheers!

Excellent review which we are missing so much from Toffeeweb. For my part I go back to that awful 2.0 loss to Forest at Goodison at the end of December. We did not have a shot on target and were playing awful football. Saturday was another world. I will always thank Sean Dyche for somehow keeping us up twice. I worried about the appointment of David Moyes but he has done a wonderful job and at last we can look forward to next season and our magnificent new home on the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey with hope and something that we have not had for 30 years namely pride in our Club.

Excellent report Lyndon, far, far better than other sites. I think we should play Ndiaye, Alcaraz and McNeil behind Chermiti for the rest of the season….see if he’s up to it. I’m not convinced by DCL, Broja or Beto.

Yes, the writing is first class. I think that is the first time since school days that I have read the word 'torpor'.

The spirit of it feels more on target. It is hard to know how to feel watching Everton, with so many twists and turns this season. You can see that some have yet to get right with Dave, justifiably questioning his style and risk-taking.

Wins like this will secure goodwill that hopefully will let the players enjoy their footbal and let the fans enjoy them enjoying their football. Then of course, we can enjoy Lyndon's love of writing. See? It all worked out. UTFT!

Your usual high calibre standard of writing and reporting Lyndon.

A very professional all round performance with the result to top it off. Always the sweetest way to win and the sourest way to lose.

We can go into the City match with belief that we can get something from it. They are a bit ropey at the back, as Palace proved, just don't capitulate and concede 5!!

Excellent report Lyndon

I thought we did a thoroughly professional job on Forest.

An excellent win.
