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

[Tipp blue]

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.

It's for his in swinging corners that don't clear the first man,

As I recall Carlo's selections got increasingly random during the period where (as it turned out) he knew he was leaving.

Just saying.

 

[Pappas_23]

Yes but George isn’t ready because he hasn’t reached the age of wisdom.

But he was ready with just 1 training session the week he got here. Make it make sense

 

[Zatara]

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…

No one is losing their heads.

Theyre pondering whether Moyes has lost his.

If we win today its despite Moyes.

Its utterly disgusting to the fans, players, sponsors and of course owners.

Will be interesting to see how McNeil responds, actually. Maybe he’ll he’ll especially driven to play well.

Being very optimistic, maybe he was told before January he was getting sold, head elsewhere and all that (shouldn't have been selected though in Jan). Has now got over the debacle with Palace and has shown something really good in training?
On the other hand....... Moyes is just a piss taking stubborn git.

 

[Joey66]

Ah good. McNeil brings so much to the team.

His walking pace you mean ? not exactly match fit is he ? What did George do wrong when coming on last week ?

Penknife to a gunfight ....

 

[Sheedy]

Oh, dear.

 

[blueblood]

It sometimes feels like Moyes, just like Dyche, doubles down in the face of criticism. He’s called out the likes of Aznou and Dibling and despite the team having no attacking threat and have the lowest number of shots on target in the league, would rather bring McNeil back in the side than play Dibling or George.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

It's for his in swinging corners that don't clear the first man,

Barely matters when the players are so busy starting a pub brawl in the six yard box they don't even notice the ball's been hit.

 

[Gibbo1976]

I try to stay positive but that team makes my eyes bleed.....make me eat my words Everton UTFT

 

[BlueStevie35]

Yeah I’m getting closer to wanting him gone, McNeil hasn’t played for a month (and but for a snide move, wouldn’t be here) but gets a start over George and what’s he seen from Beto’s cameos as of late to justify him starting?

Did Rohl play to well at Villa? Don’t get why he’s not appeared since

 

[Marc bolan]

I have nothing personal against McNeil but I never wanted to see him in an Everton shirt again. He isn't good enough. I would normally back Moyes but no idea what he is thinking here. That now said he will probably play a blinder and I will be saying Moyes knows best at quarter to five

Really subbed by half-time

 

[windymiller]

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.

Such boring nonsense. People are cross at the selection of McNeil because they believe it makes us less likely to win. If you were right in your unsubstantiated bollox, people would be made up that Moyes is selecting McNeil. Unless, of course, you think McNeil is a secret weapon that Moyes didn't in fact want to sell less than a month ago and he was just waiting for the perfect moment to unleash him?

Frustration is different than Support, whoever walks out onto the pitch has the same backing from me for the 90

The only thing that changes that is attitude..

 

[EFC49]

You know what? you're absolutely right.

Why bother indeed

It’s how people feel fella, ultimately we all want the same things a winning Everton team.
