Some of you are gutted that Everton won.

Insane.

That was his get out of jail card right there. That game went according to the Everton script right until the last kick - blitz of a first 20 minutes, give away silly chances afterwards and fade badly in the last half hour.

So happy we got away with one today, but we need to get a grip on our game management.

This, we clearly lack fitness to maintain the dominance for 90mins.

We made poor teams look good in the second half.

It stumps me, it really does. WTF do they get out of it?

*sigh*

6 points off 4th!! If they can just click into that final gear that is shown in some of the football then why not ey?????

If anyone didn't jump around when we scored then they're not an Evertonian.

Doesn't hide the fact issues are there for all to see.

"Sparky", your no marks are next to be put to the sword by The Entertainers.

Cant wait.

The only sub that made any sense was the Gerry one, but we outplayed the hell out of Newcastle and beat a poor referee. Should have had a penalty and a RC for that challenge on Ross.

Because the defence is still absolutely awful and we haven't beaten anyone outside the bottom 3 in months?

No team dominates for 90 minutes in this league. And as for fitness, we were still bombing forward late in the game, and scored in the 93rd minute.

I thought we were by far the better side, you can't remember all their chances but completely disregard ours.

Thats the everton way is it not?

We could have been 4 up at half time; its not Bobby's fault our lads arent a foot away from the ball/make the wrong run.

What issues? That we dominated the game and won?

This is spot on, however every time we're not 'dominating' we look set to concede. You've got to be able to withstand spells of pressure and give nothing away, right now we can't.

i didn't because i did that after we scored the 3rd v bournemouth and must have looked a tit in my own mirror

He got lucky today, Besic came on and changed the whole game, it only highlights how much of a crime against football that he didnt start.

Just stuck 500 large on him being the next manager sacked.

Only got 4/5.

Few tweeks needed, but nothing that can't be fixed with this team.

We played well enough to win most games today arguably
