Match Thread Newcastle 0-1 Everton, Sun, 25 May, 16.00

[roy vernon]

The improvement in Beto since Moyes came in is startling, he's still got a long way to go, but, he does look like a premier league striker now. I suppose he'll stink the place out in the second half now.

Will be an interesting half for Newcastle because with the way other scores are going and villa looking unlikely to win Newcastle may be in a position where they can't lose

they can draw

f them i want us to do these

but a point would be good

 

[Frenk]

Thoughts in no particular order.
Rumours of Myko offering nothing going forward are cobblers.
Delighted we've gone after these physically as they constantly get away with little niggles and afters.
Beto's growth in confidence is great to see: he's dominated their centre backs.
Tony Harrington shouldn't be refereeing a game involving a team less than 40 miles from where he lives.
Harrison works his socks off and with a full preseason with Moyes, I think he'd be a good addition at the right price.
N'Diaye is top, top quality.
Sign Alcaraz. Give Gueye another year.
Keane has been fine.
Pickford is literally streets ahead of ANY English keeper.
I'm getting blaked by full time.
Are me and my son the only Everton fans that after the last few years keep looking at the clock and think 'Well we haven't conceded yet'.
I'm actually enjoying watching this game.

He doesn’t offer what a left back should going forward. Nobody is questioning his commitment, or his defensive abilities.

Let’s make it happen,

We were the better side for 25 .instead then let them back into it and then came back well ourselves.

Just more composure needed in certain situations and of we went in front those scruffs would have a meltdown

who scores first wins this mate

I swear, these commentators are praying for a Newcastle win. Anything. They want them to break the tie. Get into the CL. Barely any acknowledgment the other club in the match is named Everton. I can’t wait for that narrative to change.

Was think that myself, every time they’re on the edge of our box his pitch and volume raises to the point of sounding like he’s about to cream his kecks.

I respectfully disagree.

…pleasantly surprised, very happy with that.

Still think it’s a matter of time but if we could pinch a goal it’d make such a difference. Everybody working so hard, CBs doing well, Beto a handful, Gueye his usual self and Alcaraz transitioning well enough.

That's the motto of the SAS on leave.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Just checked and I think I’m right but with a win today and no points deduction last year we’d be sitting at 48. The way I look at that is how much higher we’d be now, maybe mid to upper 50’s, if Moyes had started with us this season.

Without Joelinton, this lot lose a lot of their snideness.
