Match Thread Newcastle United v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Jim Hopper]

I have zero hope in our back line with Michael CP30 playing out there. He’s the main weak link in this line up.

 

[billybeeru]

Walcott, Sidibe and Richarlison have been very poor.

Sidibe? Huh?

 

[gianthogweed]

Get Kean off put Richarlison up front bring Mina on these are going to bombard us in the 2nd half

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Brilliant for the first 30 minutes. Keane always looks like he has a mistake in him.

Faith in Carlo to sort things out at half time.

 

[Amw79]

First 20-25 mins was as good as we’ve played this season. Controlled football and getting it forward well, looking threatening

once they had that one on one v Walcott down our right, they got their tails up.

Keane needs help against Carroll. Lost every battle.

 

[Tubey]

Why are people on Keans back so much? Don't think he's done a lot wrong needs time

Keane however...

The problem is he keeps doing the same thing - running in straight lines, hoping for a Hollywood pass, and therefore isn't involved in the game.

You can't be a one trick pony in this league. He has to be looking to link play and get between the lines to give the opposition problems.

As it is, he's having the same issues Lukaku had but without the goals.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Our defence needs more protection than what it's getting from Davies and Siggy. Not sure why Coleman was dropped, Sidibé looked the business when he was played farther forward

Carlo thinks he is coaching one of his super teams with actual depth

Think Kean's been good myself.

 

[Joey66]

Really poor shot from Walcott. Typical, good at getting open and then misses the finish

That should have been 2-0 .....

 

[witchdoc187]

Yeah we’re 1-0 up.

Yous lot are absolutely off your heads sometimes

That's the point I was trying to make mate

 

[bicycleheader]

i think the main issue is the crap positioning, slow reactions and poor use of the ball of Keane and Davies

I think all others would be having more impact and we’d have more control if those two were not playing so badly

 

[KindofBlue]

We are going to need anther goal as keane is going to cost us one before the day is out.

 

[Yarrgh]

Can anyone take anything positive from the first half?

Apart from being 1-0 up away from home at half time?

 

[Zeitgeist]

Think Kean's been good myself.

Agreed, made good runs hasn't been too bad on the ball, working hard

 

[Tipp blue]

Can anyone take anything positive from the first half?

Behave yourself. We are winning 1-0 is that not a positive?
