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

[Jt5688]

Unfortunately we’re probably going to have to select the same team as against West Ham but please don’t put Niassé on the bench. He needs to know he has no future at the club and will not be getting any minutes.

He looked like a fan plucked out of the crowd to play a part of the game on Saturday. Truly comical ‘footballer’.

He's such a strange one is Oumar. Like, at first I admired his hustle even though he was extremely raw / rough around the edges. Then, for that brief period between Koeman and Unsworth he scrapped his way to 5 goals in 7 games, and won at least one penalty, mostly as a sub. But against West Ham he looked worse than ever. I would rather have played another kid from the academy or just not made a sub he was that bad. Bizarre that he could have actually gone downhill.

Not much point difference between us and third from bottom. I'm a blue pessimism is in built

8 points down and 4 points up.

I'm experimenting with optimism

I like it when people introduce new words to the forum.

We'll win this. They're nonsense. 2-0

Imagine if we had beaten the current bottom 3, or not lost to all 3.

another difficult game. Apart from Liverpool, the teams are all very even this season. I’d take a draw if offered...just want to get to 40 pts and then start thinking about next season where hopefully we can get top 7 and have a cup run (to quarterfinals would be amazing!)

we can easily get top 7 now-only 5 points from 5th,and a draw is the least we should aim for really,be a bit disappointed if we dont win myself.we are probably closer to 5th/6th etc now compared to other years points wise

We can get top 6 if we win Tomorow and get our injured players back for Watford in February we can really attack it

Just checking now compared to same stage last season, we were 3 points off 7th and 14 points off 5th and 6th after 23 games [and in 11th place]
we have 1 point less now to last year

He’s had no game time so he’s bound to look rusty, but it shows bad our recruiting has been when we’re bringing a player in who’s been bombed out several times.

Kean is due a goal
We are long overdue a penalty
It’s about time Mina scored a header
We haven’t had a comfortable win in ages..

0-2

Andy Carroll has not scored since his return to the Skunks.

Guess who they play next?

Considering he is out injured it wont be us anyway!

Everton will find a way

Aside from beating the RS ( an event I last celebrated in 1905, a 4-2 victory), the team I most love to hammer.

COYB.
