Match Thread Newcastle 2-3 Everton. Sat Feb 28 . 3pm

[Tipp blue]

Horrific. Dropping Barry for a lamppost. McNeil with a pacy winger on the bench.

At least garner in the middle and JB cb.

I can’t wait for the subs.

We are not dropping Barry for a lamppost we are dropping Barry for a slightly worse Barry.

 

[SJB]

Yes, I believe a lot of them want us to get beat so they can moan. 'I told you so' syndrome

100%. They'll be gutted if Moyes pulls off a win here today, gives them nothing to type about all weekend.

 

[blueblood]

So we wanted to sell McNeil in January and brought in a new winger, but Moyes would rather start McNeil than either George or Dibling who we forked out over £30m for.

What gets me is he will this every so often but then take off McNeil and Beto at half-time meaning we've used two unnecessary subs when it can be avoided in the first place.

Also, I stand by playing your strongest side despite having a game in three days. It's three days away. Go with your best now.

Never read a more miserable, depressing thread in my life. Makes you wonder why some of you lot even bother with football.

There's load of stuff you can do instead you know?

You know what? you're absolutely right.

Why bother indeed

 

[Tipp blue]

Another baffling team selection. Armstrong and rohl must be wondering what they've done wrong.

They were born to recently.

He's clearly playing McNeil for his exceptional workrate — tire them out before unleashing George when we're 3-0 down after 76 minutes and Dwight is rushed off for a lung transplant.

 

[TheBigIguana]

McNeil on the left and Ndaiye on the right would be the chefs kiss

 

[Efcjake]

Moyes trolling us: CONFIRMED

I do admire how blatant it is. He's heard all the moaning and had doubled and tripled down.

I do respect it even if I hate it.

 

[Eggs]

Great at tracking back too ....FFS

….yep, Leeds goal aside, I’d imagine that’s part of the reasoning.

Difficult game regardless of who starts.

Barry at 70 mins

George 80 mins

Armstrong 89 mins

I personally think its more pathetic to come on a football forum to complain that people are expressing opinions about a football team on a football forum.

 

[carolinablue232]

I totally get the fume, and Moyes is asking for it with his selection. Personally, I’d rather wait and see what happens come 4.45 before I lose my head…

Ah, the typical Moyes 'Make it to half time, hoping we can get in at 0-0, concede within 15 minutes of the second half starting, keep the team the same for the next 15 as we'll definitely play better now we're behind, oh we still don't look like scoring, bring on George and Dibling on 80, peter out to nothing' team selection...

0-1 Everton
