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

[SJB]

We won here last season with Jack Harrison in the starting 11 and Tarkowski and Branthwaite out injured.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Didn't think we'd win there last season, feel the exact same today. Gonna be a long day.

Barry still struggling with shoulder hence Beto

 

[Delargeinho]

I can understand Beto playing simply because Barry has offered nothing.
I think McNeil can grab you a goal and he can pick a pass on the break, and I think we will play on the break.

Right, but a striker has a thankless task here..

 

[Tipp blue]

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?

What?

If I’m Dan friedkin I’m not giving this guy another penny to spend

They’d be mad to keep him in the summer. Why sign more players when he won’t play them. Dewsbury-Hall is the only player in that starting 11 who wasn’t here last season.
Rohl, Dibling, Aznou, Barry, George all brought in and not deemed good enough by the manager who tells us he signed off all those deals. He should be sacked for either his terrible judgment of prospective signings or refusal to play them. Either way it’s a failure.

Won't make him any quicker or have a right foot

No, but a motivated player can be a different player.

Starting to feel like a Me against the Club attitude, and I pick the teamsheet..

DM puts his favourite players on a board then the rest in a cup with the names on & picks them out -= a shambles of a selection as per usual - how Garna is selected week in week out ??????????

 

[Parker]

Massive fan of this sign a load of talented young players for the future and then never play them thing we have going on.

Great use of funds, at least when we signed 92 year old Ashley Young we played him.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Oh I just remembered we can't expect to get anything today because Newcastle are bigger than Everton, do we remember?

This would actually be an innovative approach to team selection.

 

[Delargeinho]

McNeil has literally never been terrific. Not once. In his entire career.

To think he probably was the best attacking player in our squad between 22-24 shows a lot.

It's very low bar.

Have some Netlle tea Joe. And relax.
Rant when it's over .

The sad thing is we'll plod along this season and he'll stick with the same side, then next season he'll say Rohl, Dibling, Aznou, Barry are not experienced enough.

 

[StateSideToffee]

Why not start:
Pickford
Patterson- Tarkowski- Branthwaite-Mykolenko
Garner
George - KDH - Rohl - NDiaye
Barry
