Everton v Newcastle. 3rd Feb at 1945.

[gonetomorrow]

It was a bit backs to the wall at times but instead of trying to play out of defence like Stones we were just belting it up and away downfield.

That's the way to do it against the likes of NU because they can't gather it quickly and keep the pressure up.

Good performance against a poor side.

Barkley, Lennon, Barry, Oviedo, McCarthy all outstanding. Cleverley, Kone, Funes Mori and the linesman not so much.

I thought Cleverly Good, Nice assist Nearly Scored Worked hard to win the ball back provided cover on the left with Dummet and Townsend. Not Mori's Best game but ok and Seamus I thought was off it. Kone just was not able to shoot. Hold up Play was quite good.

Wow did we need that. If we lost that we would have been 6 points of the bottom 3 and in the crapper. Hopefully we can kick on. Will take a draw at Stoke to be honest.

Stoke are out of for, we need to go there looking for 3.

 

[Boss_Blue]

Ross Barkley though.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Shocking stat that it was only the fourth home win of the season.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

Great win and would have been even greater if not for a brilliant performance from their GK.

Still doesn't calm any doubts I have about the Stoke game though because they're leagues above Newcastle.

Kone is Dreadful at shooting

That ball was running away from him to be fair. Or maybe he was running away from the ball......

Anyway, not a perfect delivery to him.

 

[flibbyflob]

Much better but they were crap. Good to get a couple of clean sheets though, should give the defence confidence.

Stoke are out of for, we need to go there looking for 3.

And no doubt we will

Shocking stat that it was only the fourth home win of the season.

Just enjoy the win.

We are 2 points off 7th even with as crappy as we've been.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

We needed this one in a big way. Awesome! Glad the Barcodes were awful tonight. Three in the back pocket.

 

[froggyted]

Shocking stat that it was only the fourth home win of the season.

Don't dwell on that mate when we've just won one, and won it convincingly too.

 

[BlueToff]

A well needed result. But missed chances and some shaky defending still had wondering wtf are we doing at times!

Build on it blues and let's kick on for the rest of the season!

Elliot made some really good saves in fairness - three onto the post in the space of five minutes.

Barlkley, if you're being hyper-critical, should have hit it a few times but oh well. Kone missed two sitters.

Shaky defending for that mad 5/10 minutes we always have. This time it was 65-75 mins and they should have scored. That was down to Mori completely losing his positioning. After that we recovered fine. Barkley was superb, as were Lennon, Clevs and Oviedo.

 

[Jags..class]

Mcclaran went into a bad run with Derby when they were up for promotion, he took a bad punt on this job, their fans are worse then us and will demand his sacking soon, can see Rodgers being their next manager.

 

[mitchell1996]

good win, thats more like it. pleased with the clean sheet - defended well for once.
lennon & barkley brilliant
hopefully we will go on a run now, more arsed about the fa cup than the league but if we go on a run anything can happen, just wish our past performances would've picked up the points they deserved
