Meanwhile, in the Championship, no Harrison Armstrong for Preston NE as they take on Blackburn Rovers, but former Everton players Lewis Dobbin and Thierry Small are in the starting lineup at Deepdale.

Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom told Sky Sports:

"He [Harrison Armstrong] felt his groin a little bit when he was away on international duty so we brought him straight back.

"Nothing major but not fit for the game today."

Paul Kossoff 2 Posted 22/11/2025 at 03:36:38

Merlin Rohl is out. he had a minor groin op during the break. Maguire, and Sesko are both out for united

Paul Kossoff 3 Posted 22/11/2025 at 03:48:39

Andri Gudjohnsen headed home a second-half winner as Blackburn stunned Preston at Deepdale to dent North End's promotion hopes. Andri is the son of ex Chelsea striker Eidor. Its Andris fourth goal in five games. Worth a Punt.

Those Forest Devils have just taken the lead at our second favourite team!!!

Joe McMahon 5 Posted 22/11/2025 at 15:45:16

West Ham won't go down now.

I'd had taken Nuno anytime over "cautious" Moyes

Andy Meighan 6 Posted 22/11/2025 at 15:49:33

Watch the ref at Anfield give them a late penalty if it stays 1-0...

Mark Murphy 7 Posted 22/11/2025 at 15:54:40

“Second favourite team”

I can't think of a single team in the world that I would put below them if I was pushed to name my second team.

Maybe the Donald Trump managed, Farage coached, Waffen SS Nazi11…

And even then….

Paul Griffiths 10 Posted 22/11/2025 at 16:15:34

How long has Slotty got left?

How bad is Konate?

How shite is Isak?

Gerry Quinn 11 Posted 22/11/2025 at 16:17:00

Hope they keep Slot the Slut -- would hate it if Klopp returned!!!!

Christy Ring 12 Posted 22/11/2025 at 16:17:36

It's probably my only time to shout for Forest, I detest the owner.

I love them taking the smile off Slot's face, he can give it but definitely can't take it.

Paul Griffiths 13 Posted 22/11/2025 at 16:33:25

Something lovely in seeing Isak subbed. What was it, £400m? Worst window ever?

Dysfunctional squad. Subs everywhere. 606 commentator saying it's all about Jota. How about a shite unbalanced defence?

Paul Griffiths 14 Posted 22/11/2025 at 16:41:23

Just get in.

Joy!!!

Mike Gaynes 15 Posted 22/11/2025 at 16:42:58

Dyche brought a chainsaw today!

Gerry Quinn 16 Posted 22/11/2025 at 16:51:08

Love it when the shite keep losing.

I can't remember if it was ever this bad in the 66 years of my following Everton.

I hope it keeps up for them; if not, hope it gets worse!

Forest have lived a charmed life during the first half. Dream start to 2nd half sunk the Red Shite.

They're resolute defending is equal to the poor finishing of Liverpool. That said, there was nothing wrong with the disallowed Forest goal. Glad it didn't become an issue. They have a much better midfield, attack and full-backs than we do.

They have pace and finishers. Something we haven't had in decades. Dyche doing all right, it appears. Delighted that the Red Shite and despisable Slot are being thumped.

Jack Convery 20 Posted 22/11/2025 at 16:55:28

Sean the tactical genius beats the RS AGAIN!!

Dave Abrahams 21 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:02:36

Liverpool getting twatted has brought some life back to ToffeeWeb!

Paul Griffiths 22 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:06:02

Always Dave.

Paul Griffiths 23 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:07:11

How good is/was Murillo?

Christy Ring 24 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:13:34

Slot went straight for the officials, nothing new there, when they lose.

A win on Monday night, and we go above the Red Shite!

Brendan McLaughlin 25 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:15:46

0-3

Somehow never noticed the betting ads when I logged on to post today!

Jeff Armstrong 26 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:20:18

Forest deserved that, could've been 1-5.

Slot needs to stay in his post forever as far as I'm concerned.

Gerry Quinn 27 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:29:24

Hadn't realised that the owners of the Red Shite have just bought the Daily/Sunday Telegraph (through Daily Mail & DMGT) for £500 million.

Used to be my favourite paper and crossword... Not now!! I have a different cross word now!!!

Harry Diamond Editorial Team 28 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:33:54

From Opta...

4 - Alexander Isak is the first Liverpool player in Premier League history to end on the losing side in each of his first four starts for the club. Unfortunate.

Martin Farrington 29 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:34:46

Paul. Cheers, mate.

It's the new polite me... 🤣

Paul Griffiths 30 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:46:01

Nice one, Martin, and nice Isak stat.

Joe McMahon 31 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:47:01

Fair do to Sean Dyche, he has now won at Anfield twice.

As we all know, that's twice more than David Moyes.

Paul Griffiths 32 Posted 22/11/2025 at 17:53:44

P22 WO D7 L15 Joe.

Pathetic Joe. Yet relegation-zone Forest go there with the three hard-boiled eggs and batter them.

Mind you, they do have a much better squad than us. Perfect for sitting back and hitting the counter. Forest: 25.6% possession.

Jeff Armstrong 34 Posted 22/11/2025 at 18:00:27

PG, 26% possession and yet could've won 5-1 on actual chances created!

As it was, 26% possession and won 3-0 on chances scored. Possession stats mean nothing as long as you score with the possession you have!

Paul Griffiths 35 Posted 22/11/2025 at 18:13:37

Spot on, Jeff. Dyche masterclass. They bought too many 'stars' over the summer and they all run into each other all the time, while the Egyptian looks on bemused and Slotty makes yet more subs.

As Robin Askwith said in Confessions of a Window Cleaner, 'It's what you do with it that matters'.

Martin Farrington 36 Posted 22/11/2025 at 18:28:55

Battle of the Arabs.

Haaland, Foden and Barnes all missed sitters where it was easier to score. Thus making Barry's not quite as dreadful. Kind of.

Christy Ring 37 Posted 22/11/2025 at 19:28:31

In all fairness the money Forest spent and the squad he has, let's get real.

Jim Bennings 38 Posted 22/11/2025 at 20:10:11

Michael,

It's something ingrained in the blueprint at Everton Football Club. Since the inauguration of the Premier League in 1992, this club has stopped believing.

Mental that Nottingham Forest have been up three seasons since 1999 yet they have won twice at Anfield, won at Old Trafford and at Stamford Bridge in that short time.

At Everton, I'm still waiting with my crackers on a plate for that jam tomorrow promise.

Kevin Molloy 39 Posted 22/11/2025 at 20:50:26

Before we all start throwing ourselves on a burning pyre, it would probably be instructive to look at the spend of Everton and Forest over the last 5 years...

Kevin Molloy 40 Posted 22/11/2025 at 20:53:15

According to ChatGPT, there's just a quarter of a billion between us.

Paul Griffiths 41 Posted 22/11/2025 at 21:43:43

No one is lighting a pyre, Kevin. Forest have a better squad than us in my opinion. Do you disagree?

So, according to dodgy ChatGPT, Forest have spent £250M more than us. If so, this is by no means the end of the matter. What matters equally is how that money has been spent.

Forest might have spent more than us but they have also spent that money more astutely: Murillo, Gibbs-White, Milenkovic, Anderson, Ndoye. Murillo and Anderson, in particular, were top-class buys.

We have a long history of wasting money and the last window is hardly something to crow about.

Meanwhile, can I say just how made up I am for Frank Lampard. I hope he gets a good reception when he brings his Coventry City side to Hill Dickinson Stadium next season.

Anyone who is thinking of booing, just remember the sheer joy in his face, bopping in from of the director's box after the Palace 3-2 result.

Kevin Molloy 43 Posted 22/11/2025 at 22:05:20

also Paul, yes Forest do have a much better squad. I suppose my point is that if we are essentially level pegging with forest in the league that is something to be optimistic about, given the two outlays. And I'm not ready to declare on the buys yet. People are only now seeing what a player Garner is, some players take longer to settle. I think Barry and Dibling in particular will come good.
