Match Thread Everton v Newcastle United, KO 20:00 Mon 23rd April

[Tin-Tin]

Very good first half, just lacking the final ball.

- we’ve seen a lot more of the ball than usual, mainly due to our attitude without it; rather than dropping off as we’ve been accustomed to under Sam, we’re playing on the front foot and going to win it back earlier

- Schneiderlin has had an excellent game. Would be interested to see how many interceptions he made in that half

- Bolasie has been poor. Every time we attack, the ball reaches him and the move breaks down

- We’ve looked untroubled at the back

- Tosun’s link up play has been good

Just need to find that bit of extra quality in the final third and take one of these chances.

Sorry mate, what on earth have you been watching? Slow, predictable passing, non existent movement, players looking for the long ball time after time. Dreadful

 

[mawders]

That was terrible. No quality going forward, no ideas, Noone breaking from Midfield.

 

[Del-boy]

Two teams of players clearly thinking about what beach resort to be on in the summer.

 

[Wayno]

“Everton football club expect a lot more in the final third of the pitch”

We were last properly good 30 years ago. Dunno where people have got this idea we’re Barcelona from

 

[Sona]

Crack or spice?

Tell me where I’m wrong?

 

[Florin]

Why would Sky bring in that clueless goon

 

[davek]

Get Roberto back in and we'll see some Everton goals and chances created.

 

[PITA]

Wasn’t really intending it to be taken that seriously to be fair lads.

I know. I was being facetious.

Yeah but the Newcastle ones are still on the pitch

Martinez trying not to smirk here

It looked like he had a tear in his right eye.

 

[RomanReigns]

Walcott actually backed away from that Baines cross. SMFH.

he just stops as soon as he see's the first time baines tries to thread to him fail

someone like a suarez or salah is always alive no matter what, if he was alive he could have run onto the loose ball in the box and scored

 

[ProZ]

Yannic trying to play football is chilling

 

[davek]

Martinez trying not to smirk here

He should say "ha ha ha, they got shut of me to play like this? Lol!"

 

[BernieWright13]

Tell me where I’m wrong?

From start to finish?

 

[Nyhus]

Schneiderlin’s probably been one of our best. Fair to him, maybe getting back to something resembling form.
