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

If that lineup confuses the fans what do you think Newcastle think of it? Ancelotti the absolute master of mind games.

Are we going xmas tree?

Put your nappies back on lads/ladies, we’re playing Newcastle not Real Madrid, we haven’t put a B team out, there’s still plenty of quality in that side.

Nkounkou is gonna terror their left hand side today, watch!

 

[superkeeper]

I would imagine starting 5 CMs is to try and nullify the service getting into Wilson and St Maximin and allow us to have at least two payers nearby if and when they do get the ball. Best chance of a win is a smash and grab 1-0 though with that line-up.

I can't work out what we are doing here. But I'm honestly happy we are trying something different. If you just plug Bernard and Gordon in where James and Richy should be and I wouldn't have faith it would be enough to get the result.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Unsure on dropping Pickford but we don't know his mental state so as good a team as we could have put out.

Pleased no Iwobi or Bernard.

No Godfrey in the squad - bit harsh or is he injured?

Lol. Everyone thinking we've lost because we've got some injuries. Grow up

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

i can't complain about the lineup reckon its the best 11 available. 4 1 3 1 1

Think this must be right, can’t see what else it could be. Would probably prefer Bernard on the pitch, Delph, Gomes, Siggi all a bit one paced, a different profile would help. Huge emphasis on the fullbacks to get forward and give width.

 

[Jim Hopper]

At least Iwobi hasn’t started lol

 

[RomanReigns]

Newcastle be afraid of the pace of sigurdsson and Gomes

Be very afraid

Olsen in goal, I think.
Rest, no idea.

Good man management by Carlo. He's just said Pickford is rested for one game after recent events and will be back against United. Trust in the manager. We will win this in the second half. I know its odd, but I was wishing Walcott was in the squad today.
