Well that was an embarassing display (n). None of the players can hold their heads up, but I thought Andre Gomez showed a bit of class in the second half, though I've given Beto my MoM vote because he at least showed some effort, and was unlucky not to have scored with the marginally offside...
I've just watched the game through as I couldn't get a stream yesterday.
Another flawless performance by Branthwaite. The first half was a bit flat until DCL scored what was by no means a fluke goal. Apart from him scoring a similar goal against MU, you could see that he had noticed the Burnley...
That wasn't the final result I expected at half-time, but I'll take it.
The two VAR checks were bizzare. The offside decision was so obvious it was reported by the International Space Station, and the penalty was stone cold, but both were checked to destruction. The system isn't fit for...
You have to admit that the Newcastle fans show some staying power, managing to booh Pickforf for the whole 100 minutes every time he touched the ball lol
We looked alright for most of the game, it's only when we get into the final third it all goes awry and we seem afraid of damaging the goal.
If Seamus was fit I would have preferred to have him starting with Patterson substituting for him if necessary. Godfrey isn't a full back. We need to see...
I've just watched the match through and it posed a lot of questions, not least being "how the **** did we lose that"?
A lot of people have said how poor McNeil was, but he could have had a brace, Beto could/should have grabbed a hat-trick. Having said that WHam could have been 2 up in the first...
I can only go by the commentary on the Everton site, but it seems that Tarks was the outstanding MoM in a very poor performance. I think we're in for a hammering at Brighton on that evidence.
All I can say is that there a lot of very fine performances against probably the best side in Europe given our limitations. Once they scored the first goal there was no chance of us getting back but there was no lack of willingness to try. I was torn between Branthwaite and Tarkowski for MoM but...
