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

[GwladysBlue]

If Carlo gets a tune out of the players on the pitch today, he’s a genius.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Seems a very narrow lineup, with the only real width coming from the fullbacks. Hopefully it will at least mean we keep things tight. These are the kind of games where nicking a 1-0 would do me fine.

Mad that line up

 

[Egil Olsen]

If we get a goal against, then I think the match is over. We're going for a point here. The match will probably be as exciting as watching the paint dry.

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Would make more sense to have Doucoure in front of Gomes he's more of a goal threat.

Yes now you say that it does. We have seen little to date of Doucouré being that advanced and Gomes can sit and hopefully ping a few balls up front

 

[TonyBlue1985]

I still think there's enough quality there to get a result at most grounds, as long as we're organised at the back. Sadly, that's something we've been lacking but fingers crossed today is the day it starts to gel.

I get the feeling sometimes the back 4 don't trust Pickford, hopefully a spell out the side will sort his head out because the talent is there.

 

[Kenshin]

Why has Pickford been dropped?

Any injury or genuinely dropped?

 

[whiteshadow]

Think we're kind of screwed in this game. No width for a striker who loves crosses...

 

[AndyC]

Iwobi should be ashamed of himself. £35m and he can’t even be trusted in our selection crisis. Try and ship that prick out ASAP.

Prick ?
Really any need for that ??

Carlo called it a 'rest'...very diplomatic to me, it's the beginning of end for him, even if he starts v ManU

 

[ProZ]

Why are people shocked by the team? did we not sign any new players overnight from what I'm aware of.

 

[bring the ghost on]

I really hope it’s not as this app has it

What's wrong with Delph playing RWF? Lad's a natural in that position!

Two weeks of death threats and character assassination by fellow professionals tends to mess with your head, been taking out if the firing line today

 

[whiteshadow]

Why has Pickford been dropped?

Any injury or genuinely dropped?

Just cos he's pony I think. He's on the bench, so not due to injuries.

 

[Mrk]

Nnkoukou left wing and Delph left back is the only way I can make sense of our lineup. Would leave Siggy right wing of a 5 man mid.

It's just a very narrow 4-3-3. Ancelotti has used this formation a lot at Milan and sometimes at Chelsea too.
