[Eggs]

….growing in confidence, take the lead & time to control the game but not able to hold on for more than 5mins.

I‘m pessimistic when I see Holgate’s name on the team sheet. He’s high risk in terms of being rash, in terms of bad decision making and in terms of being poor in possession. We have better than him and I hope Lampard will soon realise this for himself.

Needlessly under the cosh now. I think we can carry threat but I fear for our defending.

We arent finishing this game with 10.

Worried about Holgate and Gomes picking up yellows and if Lampard makes an early sub, we will surely have another sicknote quick to take advantage

 

[Frenk]

Poor use of sod there.

Not really.

 

[Mark Bisson]

Gomes has been trash tonight ?

 

[irishtony1878]

Substitutions have taken away the momentum, we were doing OK prior to Mina going off.
For a big lad he is made of eggshells isn't he?

 

[ForestBlue]

If we are only allowed 3 subs then we've only got one left so cant tactically replace in case of injury

 

[wm02]

Sure we scored 2 at Saints away a few seasons back.

Coleman and Alcaraz.
Clearly remember that one—-my middle son was born that day

 

[Dixieslaces]

Don't know how Newcastle are in the bottom 3

They are [Poor language removed]

 

[MKEvertonian]

It’s our shambolic passing which is giving Newcastle hope and the impetus to press us without fear knowing we are going to give the ball away

Spot on, that’s why everyone seems ‘the best they’ve ever played’ against us.

 

[Fansince1988]

That breath of fresh air that Frank was supposed to bring has turned to stale fart rather quickly, hasn't it? The same old chancers have reverted to type as soon as even a hint of pressure came on (or as soon as the Colombian international break was over). I'd be delighted with a point here.

He has said it wont be an easy ride, injuries haven’t helped and we have started to look panicked, hopefully Lampard can calm them down.

 

[Clarky cat]

I don’t like this….

 

[Curtis]

When's the last time Mina played an entire match?

 

[Mashtray]

Way too frantic. This games needs us to force it to settle. We need to bolster that midfield. When though it's tough not seeing DCL

 

[hktoffee]

Gomes has been trash tonight ?

Back to his old self. 1 good game in 8.

 

[when i score we riot]

Just worried about Gordon going off clutching his shoulder, hope it's not dislocated and he needs to be subbed. Been our best player by far first half.
