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

Branthwaite playing centre back instantly improves Tarkowski and Mykolenko, Ndiaye more effective on the left do that's all positive. McNeil's lack of a right foot hindering him as usual but let's see this out.

I hope its not a repeat of the usual sit back and hope

KDH, Gana, McNeil dreadful

That’s a lie.

Newcastle will come out fast here.... hopefully we can nick one on the break in the first 10 and get the 2 goal cushion

The river flows again. Chinese adverts are so weird

I've got an Australian channel... Lots of adverts for cruises and homes for retirees...

Didn't know Oz old folks are up in the night watching football

I'm pretty hopeful of something here. We've done well over the years and I believe in horses for courses.

Get behind the ball and wear them down. Keep in it until HT and we'll be ok.

At least a draw.

Horses for courses....

Oh, you've jinxed it now.

Decent first half. Hope this isn't one of the matches where we play drastically different 1st and 2nd halves.

The test will be at 60-65 minutes where despite being completely overwhelmed by Newcastle fresh legs, Moyes refuses to make and concedes around the 70th minute. Then changing it by bringing Keane on for Myklolenko and Barry on for us to go long

Oh, you've jinxed it now.

3-1 this.

 

[Sharpies volley]

KDH did really well right at the end of the half with a nice little dribble then played a dreadful pass to Beto that was never going to come off. Just looks slightly off it.

Yes. Beto made a good run to take the defenders away and KDH should have carried on with the ball. But tried an impossible pass in to Beto.

Beto is like a man possessed been very good

….Moyes said he ‘scored plenty for us this time last season’, I’d be sure that’s why he’s started him. Funny how things like that happen but I agree, he played well first half.

“The three players I dislike most have been dreadful.”

I think Gana's played pretty well, too. I've been critical of him recently but he's looked pretty decent so far today. I've probably jinxed him now!

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

If Ndiaye is versatile on either wing and McNeil is so extremely left foot dominate, why is Dwight at RW? A lot of these questionable positioning by Moyes this season. It’s working today but doesn’t mean it’s ideal.

KDH, Gana, McNeil dreadful

Gana’s been good Zat, broke up a lot of their play. Will give you KDH and McNeil though, albeit not dreadful.
