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

[TrixyStevens]

Digne has started well

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Given Newcastle are a defensive side, they sure aren’t half giving us a lot of space

They are a defensive side but they’re also very bad at football

 

[Buckers]

Missing Allan today.

 

[Tin-Tin]

They are getting down our left side too easily

 

[Amw79]

Keown there, after Shelvey grabs James by the face and hauls him to the floor "yeah he knows how important it is to get close to Rodriguez, but he just catches him there"

Beglin said “James doesn’t seem to like that part of the Premier League game”.

Nah, sure he doesn’t ya Kopite tit.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

RS reference 13th minute

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Given them far too much respect here.

 

[arbok]

Even though I wanted the wall, I love this lineup, very attacking.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Is our new plan just to let the opposition have more of the ball than us? If so I don’t like it.

 

[blue to the bone]

I prefer mcmanaman to keown. He is absolutely woeful.

 

[Azza]

Need to be quicker in our build up.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Keown 'deep defensive line' klaxon.

 

[atypicalusername]

DCL showing some aggression then

 

[superkeeper]

Another foul from Shelvey

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

BT Sports commentators, after watching us successfully defend 1,000,000 set pieces from starting on the 6yd line in recent weeks:

“OMG THEY’RE STOOD ON THE 6YD LINE WHILE DEFENDING THIS SET PIECE!!”
