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

[SLAVEN BILIC]

First thing Frank needs to think about with his lineup and tactics is utilising pace from our fullbacks. Patterson and Godfrey need to occupy the right and left back spots, bring Keane in with Branthwaite. Serve Holgate because he likes to push too far up and more often than hit gets caught out, with the pace of Saint Maxim we’d be overran.

If we line up with 5 at the back it’s game over before we’ve even started.

We'll go hell for leather I reckon.
Get stuck in.

Play for 90 mins like you actually give one jot about wearing the blue shirt we can only dream of wearing. It's a bloody privilege to wear it and it's time they behaved like they knew that. 90 mins of fast, aggressive, relentless football. They've jogged around the pitch for the whole season so far so should have plenty left in the tank for this game.

Mate I thought that before Wolves. I have no confidence in this shower. I pray that we somehow turn this wreck of a season around.

I don't think I am ready for this to be honest... my eyeballs still haven't stopped bleeding from Abdoulaye Doucoure's last performance.

I somehow like that sort of talk, me ladder. Prayer is always worth while.
Depressed, but there's hope in't.
Me lud, is there a player who can extricate us from this shitty shot? I beg that our man Frank can wrest a piece of charm from this ghastliness.

Well tonight’s game will be a very big indication of our final outcome this season. It’s not the end of course, but a loss makes relegation more likely than not.

Personally, I’m not confident.

Eddie Howe is a boyhood blue… hopefully he does us a favour

Him and the team must be in a massive bonus to stay up so a few more points will do it, but they’re safe anyway as the bottom 5 are crap.

 

[Baines' left foot]

I bet the #wegothegame lads can’t wait to have a good old whinge binge tonight. Waiting with bated breath for the first mistake to make it absolute HELL for them scrotes.

This and Wolves was basically "win both or we're going down". Well we lost v Wolves and people are still thinking we can survive. We didn't even put up a fight against them, in the second half they were running rings around us despite having played 2 days prior to the game. We need to accept relegation if we do not win this tonight.

Biggest game of the season so far...we'll sadly have a few bigger yet....

To have any hope this season, tonight is 100% MUST WIN

 

[Brownie]

This is the biggest game of all time.

Wolves performance was soul destroying....dont know if the players hadn't yet realised the danger we are in because "sure we have games in hand"....but if there's no fight tonight, we are relegated

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Bit of fight tonight please blues? Too much to ask?

 

[DualityNSNO]

How many own goals this game?
Reckon at least one.
