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

Good lord is he wrong about Sigurdsson

He's not going to come out and say he's crap when he has about 7 players out

 

[DanB90]

“He can play everywhere”

But hang on, his fans on here have been telling us he can only play as a number 10 with two holding midfielders behind him, in a blue kit, long sleeved, with his hair gelled to the left hand side, in black and white boots, with white shinpads, in overcast weather, between 15-20 degrees, and we just haven’t provided him with such an environment since he joined???

Another club would be a good start.

 

[jamieni]

My only hope is if Ancelotti goes super defensive with 3 at the back. Maybe we can score on a corner or free kick. If he goes with same formation as usual we have indeed no chance.

3 at the back would make sense to give Kenny and Nkounkou a bit of cover. Up front will be a shambles I fear.

 

[GwladysBlue]

All I know is I hope Iwobi is nowhere near the starting Xl. The lad is completely useless.

 

[ToffeeTim]

My team for what it's worth....

Pickford
Kenny Keane Mina Nkounkou
Gomes Allan
Sigurdsson Doucoure Gordon
DCL

The other options is to go....

Pickford
Godfrey Keane Mina
Kenny Gomes Allan Nkounkou
Doucoure
DCL Gordon

Whatever system we play, we have to defend properly because we have conceded 2 for 3 straight matches and it's not good enough.

 

[Death]

It’s Newcastle...

The New Madrid

I’d advocating play 5 3 2 with James and Richarlison out - but we haven’t got a second striker with DCL ‍

Steven that’s because our DOF is a turnip

Don't necessarily need to play with 2 strikers. Can play Gordon or Iwobi as a 10 with Doucoure given more license to get forward. More of a 343/3511 system

 

[Dublin blue 75]

With James out, we are going to have the ghost inflicted on the starting line up again arent we. It being Halloween too.

 

[4737carlin]

Im going for
Chopper
Godfrey Keane Mina
Kenny Allan Gomes Nkounkou
Doucoure Siggy
DCL

 

[witchdoc187]

Woulda had you as a vain them up and inject yourself with them kinda guy.

True but I'm also always wrong

 

[Lob]

Trying my best to be positive but it is really hard to see anything but a defeat with so many of our quality players missing.

Surprise me please Everton and put a real shift in to try and maintain our top position.
