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

[st.domingo]

Some interesting shouts for teams. Can’t see him either starting Dom or even less dropping Wobes tho.

Bookies have the home win odds-on. We’ll do well to get a point, it seems.

People love to forget what a good start Rafael had. Lampard ain't had a spell like it.

That's because he hasn't had a run of easy games against bottom of the league sides in a row like Benitez had. You couldn't have written an easier start if you got to pick your own fixtures and he still nearly got us relegated!!

We’re on Prime tonight if anyone was wondering.

I'd start Garner to freshen things up. Don't think Dom will play more then 30 mins.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Bit of a must not lose game this. 3 defeats on the trot and we know what tends to happen when the squads heeds drop.

Newcastle aint amazing and their two best forwards are oot injured.

A draw wouldn't be a disaster but crikey if we lose alarm bells should start ringing.

Keep Dom with slow exposure to games, for injury sake and given chance Southgate will throw him under the bus for England, needs to be kept away from that freak show.

No they shouldn’t. Behave yourself.

I'd take a draw. They have every chance of finishing as a top half side so a point away would be credible.

It doesn't mean we can't go for more though, and show some ambition and intent in the game.

I wouldn't regard it as a shock result if we beat them, they've improved no doubt but overall still belong to that "meh" rank of teams.

Outside of the scab 6 (who are aided and abetted by FFP) there is no team who we should think are unbeatable. Leicester and WHU squad quality wise are probably best of the rest currently and neither are great this season.

Problem is the fanbase worship the current manager that much that expectations have been purposely dumbed down to the point that Newcastle are talked up as if we're travelling to the Etihad I mean come on Bruno and Trippier aside the rest of them aint any better than our lot.

Hope we nick a 2-1 but @ForeverBlue92 thinks a 1-1 draw tonight.

I'm not happy about this as I have Prime.

The absolute ego on you to tag yourself in your own post

 

[PhilRegan]

Can't see anything other than a defeat we are on a bad run

 

[ElGato]

We're gonna smash these coats 0-0

[davek]

Forget this.

Palace is the key game for us now.

Lampard should rest up players for that game.

 

[Blue Roo]

Is Gordon still suspended?

Pickford
Iwobi, Coady, Tarks, Myko
Onana, Garner, Gana
Gordon, Maupay, Gray

Iwobi to man mark St.M
Garner in the middle
bring DCL on at half time.
