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

[Brennan]

Good heavens.

Just saying. You can’t use “we’re 2nd” to argue against two dire performances when the table is so congested.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Yeah and its the players job to show some self respect and give their best.

When last year's players start, we lose. They are all useless wastes of space. I would have let 5 more of them go.

If our fans get Ancelotti the sack then I am done with football. The criticism of the manager shows how deluded a lot of you are. Big correlation between people calling out Ancelotti and people wanting Gordon and Bernard in the team. Says it all...

Just cos hes carlo ancelotti doesnt mean he is without reproach. He made dodgy decisions last season and again today. He is NOT immune mate. Blaming everyone BUT the manager is ridiculous, he is at the top of the tree.

 

[Groucho]

I fear Carlo isn’t as good as we think he is

There’s a reason he’s never at a club more than 3 seasons

Don’t be daft.

All away games are tricky. Other than the top teams, most clubs struggle to win away. We generally average about 2 away wins a season.

In my opinion, away games aren't "away" games at the moment, without crowds I'd say home games are the same.

The only difference would be if a club drastically altered the dimensions or playing conditions of their home ground.

My two cents, happy to accept change..

 

[Kure]

Poor team selection two weeks in a row now.

 

[COYBL25]

Ive told Carlo what I though of that on Twitter improve or do one... Perhaps he is here for a last payday!!! Last 2 performances are atrocious.... Utd next, dread to think what the score will be against them with the pace they have in that side....

Howling at this lol

 

[lungo]

That's where we are though. 7th this season would be a good achievement with this squad.

12th here we come!

 

[Eggs]

...CBs exposed again. First half, one ball over the top and Keane was out of the game, 2nd half and Mina was caught for their 2nd goal.

I’m sure that’s why Godfrey has been brought in, I expect him to be in the team soon.

If people get on Ancelottis back then I am done with football. It's that simple.

It makes me proper angry seeing these clueless shouts. Get behind the manager and give him patience with these pathetic squad players who don't try a leg.

Carlo should hang his head, after he has hanged Gomes and a few others.

 

[davids]

At end of day, 6 of our first 11 weren't on the pitch. Pickford, coleman, digne, Holgate, richie and James. All of them play and we walk it. (Pickford is arguable).

We are still 2nd. We are only 7 games in. Poor tactically today but clearly we have issues with squad depth but Carlo knows what he is doing more than we do. Take it on the chin as a bad day and move on.

4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses is a good return from 7 games.

Problem is our form is dropping off by the week, average v the scum,less than average v Soton poor v barcodes.

 

[andy4efc]

The man came from behind him and no intent on the contact whatsoever. Where was the pressure on Wilson from whichever clown let him go?

Gomes needs to have some awareness about him. It was unfortuante and saying it's braindead from him is nonsense like.

The whole thing just seemed to be gomes all over though. Slow, lacklustre, sloppy. Avoidable.

 

[COYBL25]

The one thing I like about on here is the consistency, we get beat it's always down to the ref.

Don`t forget Pickford too.

 

[miami]

3 losses in a row after United do us next game. Four games without a win after winning our first four? That's falling off a cliff form and very worrying for carlo.

And btw, if anyone thinks we're getting anything from the Utd game they need their head looking at.

Why was I optimistic at our early reults? Our players are the best in the world at bursting your balloon.

I get what you're saying, but it still felt like the onus was on Newcastle to try and win, and when the 2 teams play at Goodison the onus will be on Everton.
