You got it. Everton will deeply regret spurning those two points.
Liverpool dominating the proceeding so far at Anfield. United not quite quick and sharp enough yet.

The final result from Everton versus Forest was a draw; Nottingham Forest equalised to make it two goals apiece.
Elsewhere, at Anfield, Liverpool have just scored against Manchester United, immediately before half time, and thus, head into the break leading by a goal to nil.
Actually, Nottingham Forest have a good record at home, and, at the moment, are the better team of this pair; they have improved considerably since before Christmas.

Indeed, but letting a 2-0 lead slip away regardless of the circumstances when you're fighting for survival is a real gut punch.
United need to make adjustments to get back in this. They mostly absorbed Liverpool's pressure and are still in good position.
No, - re Nottingham Forest v Everton that is not how it happened.
Everton scored first, (a penalty), and then Forest equalised, whereupon Everton scored again, - this was all in the first half - to lead by two goals to one for much of the match.
Forest finally equalised for a second time in the 77th minute; remember, that, for all of their dismal form in the early part of the season, they haven't been defeated at home since last September.
Wow.
Now, it is 3-0 to Liverpool.
Given what hard work they made of this in the first half, I hadn't seen this coming, goals sandwiching either side of half time.

Catastrophic second half. Fixture congestion and lack of depth coming back to bite United, and they simply don't know what it takes to cope at Anfield.
Hope this is a good learning moment for ETH and the squad — despite all the good vibes and results lately, this is a reminder that United is still far from the finished product.

United now busily collecting yellow cards.
Not a good look, - and if the cards change colour this may cost them in future games - though their frustration (which should be directed at themselves, not Liverpool) may be understandable.
Wow.
This is now a thrashing.
Looking at the way the game went during the first half, nobody would have believed what was coming after the half time break.

ETH going to have them all running marathons in training. Absolutely inexcusable performance and mentality. He also needs to have a hard look at himself with how he set up the team and the subs he chose in the second half.
In re: Forest vs Everton, I didn't watch the match, but was checking the score occasionally — and clearly not very closely. I thought I saw 0-2 in the first half, but glossed over the time difference between Brennan Johnson's first goal and Doucoure's goal, which did happen fairly close together.

That - I suspect - is why he has been hooked, (hauled off, before he could be sent off) and replaced.
6-0.
Gosh.
Sorry, 7-0.
This goes beyond a thrashing into an annihilation.
Leaving aside the defensive chaos, is the fact that some of the United players have come close to deserving red cards; their lack of grace, ill-temper, petty fouls, and petulance are astounding.
