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

Be interesting to see how Ricko does back on the flank.

..it frees him up so less need to chase lost causes against burly CBs. I imagine he’ll be happy with that.

Interesting team selection that. Just hope we win

 

[ToffeeTim]

Good that the midfield is unchanged.

But I don't like the balance in attack. Real lack of pace through the middle. They can double up on us out wide.

Good team that...and effectively 5 days to recover for what I think will be a very difficult game against Del-boy’s lot

Had a little nose on a couple of Barcodes forums to see what the opposition fans are saying about the match (as I tend to do) and saw that one of the forum match thread titles referred to us as “Blue bin-dippers”

For this alone I hope we utterly humiliate the horrible Geordie, lad-bible, bellends.

Kopites of the north-east.

Strong bench.

As strong a bench as I can remember.

Imagine just a couple of years ago having players like Bernard and Walcott on the bench!

Agree. Good test today for Coleman, Digne, and Lookman defensively. We need to stop the crosses coming in.

'mon the Cenk. Be good to see him as a striker with some actual movement around him.

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

This is gonna be painful....

..... for Benitez and his geordie biffs.

Come on Everton, lets take out the frustration of Sunday on these and give them a battering.

3-0 to the mighty Blues.

 

[Mashtray]

Have we finally reached that point where first 11 changes don't dramatically weaken our side

I'd wait till after the game before deciding that tbh.

I know Mina and Zouma are not slouches in the air, but Keane is the best centre half we have in the air. He’d have had Rondon in his pocket all night long.
