Newcastle v Everton. 28th Dec at 16.15.

[toffee matt]

We're doing alright.

Still can't defend though

 

[banno]

Think Chris Waddle got it spot on about Everton. He said we look decent with the ball but without it we are awful. Been a problem all season that has. Its like we allow them to play football and give them far too much space.

 

[Jxg]

Is right, but that doesn't suit his agenda.

I completely accept that we've been gash this season but it's wrong to always blame Martinez. If the ref isn't going to do his job properly there is sweet fa that you can do, even if you're Real bloody Madrid.

 

[peteblue]

Can't really see why people are moaning at Robles.

I mean I'm sure he'll give us all a reason soon enough, but he's done ok. No more than that.

I could have done better with the goal and I'm in bed with the flu..........

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Hull lost at least

Can look at getting some space between us and the relegation zone if we can beat them and snatch a point here

 

[maccavennie]

We don't need to change anything but what we do need to do is tell the 11 [Poor language removed] houses who have under performed all season to have a nice aggressive word in the refs ear and tell him that Cisse should not be on the pitch and he should be looking to even things out. We can have these lads

 

[Joey66]

A better balanced team , but Distan looks awful gave one away and almost another!

 

[marty mcfly]

I thought we did pretty well. Barry and Distin are both struggling a bit.

Kone and Garbutt have impressed.

McGeady was heavily responsible for the goal with the through ball. He loses it and is a bit wasteful but normally also creates chances which we've lacked.

Not sure about the position of both Baines and Eto'o but neither player is to blame.

We should play Garbutt ahead of Baines.

 

[L4Everton]

I liked the initial setup, McCarthy looking to sweep up the right midfield whilst McGeady and Coleman overload the right flank, work the ball from the left and use Eto'o inbetween the diagonal. Was quite clever and caused them no end of problems.
Coleman borderline offside for the assist?
Sissoko is one strong man, is continually their outball.
Can't blame the referee for missing the Cisse elbow, hopefully it's a retrospective red card because its cowardly and its dangerous.

Have a feeling Lukaku is coming on pretty quick.

... zee ?

 

[Professor Toffee]

The half time tale of 2 poor teams

Yeah both teams are awful

 

[evertony]

Can someone explain to me why Besic has been dropped to the bench. In the run of sh@t we have had to endure he was one of our better performers. Barry is just too slow for the counter attacking footy we are trying to play today

I'll not dropped

 

[ijjysmith]

I could have done better with the goal and I'm in bed with the flu..........

Nah. Possibly could have done better but the other keeper wouldn't have saved it. That's for sure.

 

[toffeemax]

Then the referee's an idiot - what's he doing watching the ball in mid air? in case someone jumps up 30ft and handles it?

I take it all back. What a cart.
