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

[ChesterBlue]

Lads got both of them, doesn't help lol

I’ve been gently nudging my nephew towards PSG - they play good football and have alright fans. Trying to make sure he doesn’t find out the RS exist before he’s old enough to know supporting them is wrong lol

I mean.. what another wasted opportunity to start making some headway and in the worst possible manner to boot. Peak Everton.

Fed up.

Digne's crossing and passing was particularly poor today, with many balls aimlessly put into the box and almost certainly finding a Newcastle player.

I like Digne but he was woeful tonight, particularly in the first half and that pathetic free kick he took in the second half put the top hat on his poor performance.

Pickford......flapping & panicstricken again.... Fuming still....

 

[mightymoyes]

Still stunned

Calming down slightly.

Need to get rid of most of these 'players'. Not good enough.
Newcastle were the worst team to play at GP this season, well joint worst with Everton and they get a point.

We were trying to coast the last ten minutes and guess what? We are rubbish at coasting as well as football.

Positives?
We get two draws against Newcastle and West Ham. We didn't lose.
Who knows if Duncan had a few more games. Marco probs would have lost. Never know. Subjective.

I have to remind myself this is the same group of frauds assembled by Marco and they are not very good.
The frustration for all of us that we are 2 up going into added on time and they cocked it up.

So where do we start?

You lads like the look of the defence? Pickford, Sidibe, Mina, Holgate, Digne.
It's not bad, but it is not a top quality Prem defence lads. It's just not.

Our centre two mids? None of them are good enough. We have badly missed Gomes and we have no idea on Gbamin.

Carlo has had time now to see the fit players on the pitch and tried them in different positions on occasion.

For the love of everything Everton Carlo, STOP putting your faith in the wrong players. Get rid. ASAP.

If it means Kean is going to start coming good, this result won't matter much in the long run.

If Kean's goal was a fluke, we could easily rue the points lost today come May.

As much as it feels like a defeat, it was a great team performance for 90 minutes. When Richie, Gomes and J-PG return, plus a couple of quality signings this month, 5th/6th are still possible. Then a good summer transfer window, top 4 should be attainable next season.

My bird’s an RS - she’s currently got her number blocked on my phone for the foreseeable future lol

With Pickford, Mina and Holgate all off the field of play, Delph replaces the keeper as the last man back... is the goal scorer offside?

 

[blueconverse]

Didnt go as I'm away. But to everyone that went the majority of the team dont deserve you.

 

[Old Blue 2]

‘His dive took him behind the line’. Bloody awful dive then.

Split second reaction dive to what was happening in front of him (i.e. the defence not clearing the ball)...

We need to introduce a system that looks at offsides, goals and handballs. Maybe have guys watching the game 200 miles away linked to the ref wearing an earpiece.

Nothing can go wrong.

You've just been blaming Naisse and Davies

Are you new to this forum? Or possibly not paying attention? "It's all Pickford's fault" has been a standard rather silly riposte to many criticisms against him and indeed other players. A bit of mockery or fun you see. When all else fails, blame Pickford. Not many seem to get upset by it. If they did I would stop.

Thank you for helping my fume

No. Players involved in the action who stray beyond the goal-line remain active for the purposes of the offside law, not inactive.
