Howard - 2 - At fault for both goals, one good save from Ben Arfa, but when you concede two goals by not doing the basic 'keeper skill of reacting to the ball rather than the player, one other save doesn't make amends. He was terrible.
Hibbert - 7 - Solid game, nullified a dangerous Newcastle left side for most of the game.
Jagielka - 5 - Poor for the most. Not helped by the midfield leaving enough space to sail a barge through in front of the defence for the entire second half when Neville and Osman evaporated into thin air.
Distin - 6 - Same issue as Jagielka, but he did well first half to keep Cisse quiet.
BAINES - 8 - MAN OF THE MATCH: Ran them ragged first half, had to drop deeper as the midfield fell apart in the second half thanks to "Pip", but overall he was comfortably our best player.
Neville - 1 - The worst performance from an Everton midfielder since Mitch Ward and Claus Thomsen. Mistimed tackles, misplaced passes, no movement, no defensive cover when that was his only role in the side; he may as well have sat down the entire second half in the middle of the pitch. Not only finished at the top level, he's finished as a footballer.
Osman - 3 - Looked sprite and alert early doors, but with Neville being his usual self he was quickly overrun in the second half as Newcastle took advantage of the glaring hole in midfield. Too lightweight to play that role without a competent partner, which Neville isn't.
Mirallas - 7 - Very useful, bright attacking play, but looked selfish at times and if he'd looked for the pass on two or three occasions we could have put Newcastle to bed in the first half. Exciting prospect to look forward to.
Pienaar - 7 - Very good first half, but squandered possession when we needed him to step up to the mark and make an impact in the second half. Overall you can't fault his endeavour and workrate with Baines. Poor play when he should have laid in Osman for a sitter in the second half.
Fellaini - 7 - He's doing a job out of position, but he tires rapidly after the hour mark and it means we run out of ideas offensively when he fades. He should be used in his actual role in central midfield alongside Osman, but unfortunately Moyes hasn't got a clue.
Jelavic - N/A
SUBS:
Anichebe - 6 - He moves from looking great to looking like a fat Conference level striker, often in the same minute of action. A complete enigma. He scored but he shouldn't be anywhere near a starting spot, especially not alongside Fellaini. Good option off the bench against poor defences like Newcastle tonight.
