Match Thread Everton vs Newcastle - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Iana]

We need Keane or Branthwaite in for this - maybe both. A Holgate/Godfrey pairing will absolutely 100% concede a goal to Wood or Burn.

I’d play Holgate and Godfrey as full backs, we need to be solid at the back.

I agree…I think that would be my back 4 for the rest of the season barring injuries.

Agreed - we need to stop letting in goals, so we can stop losing games period. I would take 12 draws between now and season end. Problem is if we put that back four in place then the width only comes from our wingers (we do have a lot to chose from). We would have to have a three man midfield which means the three up front have to be 2 wingers and a goalscorer. Puts a lot of pressure on the #9 and we have not seen great performances in that role from DCL. Ritchie or Rondon recently.
I'd be happy with some 0-0's though. Its a low bar....

DCL,Richarlison, Mykolenko, Doucoure and Coleman for starters. Comparing you to even us, it is a joke! A bit of confidence will see you survive. Rafael killed it. He has form for lacking in the man management stakes

DCL been injured since the fourth game of the season, consensus is that Coleman should’ve been replaced after his leg break as he’s never been the same and Myko looks like a promising kid but never Digne or Baines quality.
Richarlison is boss imo but has nobody creating.
On paper Doucoure Allan and VDB in a 3 in midfield is quality enough to challenge for top 6 imo but there’s zero depth and the defence with Mina missing pretty much all season and Godfrey large chunks too is disgraceful.
Gray and Gordon are very good on paper too but I think Gray, Gordon and Richarlison are all trying to hard and have forgotten how to pass to each other.

Anyway, I agree we have the quality to win a few no matter who we’re playing but we’ve gone 20 odd games now as the worst form team in the league and if we don’t win tomorrow we’re in enormous trouble.

Are you suggesting playing Michael Keane will help stop us conceding a goal mate?

He’s hopeless I know but he can win a header. Godfrey can’t

 

[mrmcgee]

We let the player (Schar) who hadn't scored in about 6 years get a 90-second brace too. Unreal and never seen anything like it in my life.

It was actually Florian Lejeune!

 

[mrmcgee]

Thats why i cant stand listening to their fans right now deny that. You're right that they played the system. But own it. You were getting relegated before the 100m.

£90m, of which £40m has sat on the bench (Bruno) and another £15m player has been injured for a large part (Trippier) To be fair to Howe he has people like schar, willock, joelinton, shelvey and fraser playing out of their skin. It's largely been done with £13m Burn, loan signing Matt Target and £25m overpaid for Wood

If Coleman plays he will get absolutely destroyed by maximin all game. Put Godfrey on him and give him a few sly kicks.

 

[Ivo]

‘anyone got a summary of the presser?’

Lampard moaning he walked into a losing club again…

But he did... And not sure it was moaning, just being honest.

[RomanReigns]

Need to start looking at the way villareal, Sevilla and athletico Madrid play in big games

It’s not pretty but it’s effective
