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

[ToffeeTim]

1 nil blues with a goal from Richarlison

 

[4737carlin]

I was thinking he may be ok with no away supporters to get on his back.

He can still act up for the TV cameras

 

[blue to the bone]

Think siggy will start this as part of the midfield 3. Gomes was knackered Wednesday.
Davies Doucoure siggy
James dcl richy

 

[TheSecondComing]

Our sub bench should be interesting today for two reasons

 

[optatom154]

Please win

3 reasons, no second sub keeper, no Tosun and no Bernard. I’d expect two spots to go to Onyango and Simms, and the 3rd spot for whoever Doucoure comes in for

 

[RomanReigns]

Small winner

One who isn’t there and two how threadbare our attacking options look.

I may be wrong but I thought Simms was on loan at Blackpool for the season.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Who is cod. Sounds a bit fishy to me

It’s that new Finn we signed. He’s going to school the geordies. I’m hooked.

No you are absolutely bob on lad. Any true fan would know that.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

How Ancelotti sets up will be interesting because we will have to be more offensive than we were against Leicester.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Oh boy how Richarlison needs to bag today.

Oh yeah, forgot that, Broardhead then

Switching to Digne & Coleman will put way too much pressure on Davies in midfield. Can see Digne in on the left as this immediately helps Richarlison and DCL out. Richarlison is given more freedom to move inside and Digne's delivery obviously benefits DCL.

Would imagine Holgate carries on at right back to ensure we have some stability. Would like to see James play centrally and Iwobi on the right to carry the ball at them, but would imagine that Carlo will be more pragmatic to start and play Sigurdsson with Rodriguez nominally starting right(ish).


Whatever we do, it's a game we should be winning.
