Match Thread Newcastle United v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Don't you think he was a bit boyish? For example, expressing all his frustrations with Walcott didn't pass him on time at the end of the first half, and then himself making a huge mistake. I hope Capo will explain to him on his mother tongue that you should be more tolerant to the mistakes of your teammates.

Was a poor pass tbf. He's young and frustrated. Doesn't look great I agree but no biggy. He's gonna come good

Was good to see Kean getting into positions where he got a few shots on target... but more composure and luck and he will be banging them in .

....terrific win was that. Newcastle is a tough place to get something at.

i criticise Keane but I thought he coped ok, Holgate always gives everything. Richarlison gets the free kicks his team mates most need, he wasn’t alone in working his socks off.

DCL might be a ’Championship player’ to a host of posters on here, others say he needs dropping to give Kean ‘a run of games’, but Silva, Ferguson and Ancelotti clearly think otherwise. DCL continues to be our most effective striker. DCL MoM.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti:
I am happy. The team played well. I am pleased, it was a difficult game. We started really well, Newcastle pushed a lot but we won showing a good performance. The team is improving and that is important.
"The players are trying to adapt, they want to change a lot. The job Duncan Ferguson did was fantastic. The spirit was strong when we arrived.
"Dominic Calvert-Lewin is playing really well. The second goal was a big part of Richarlison. It doesn't matter if you score or not it important to work as a team and they did.
"We want to play games, good games, try to play well. This is our goal. Of course the table is important but we have to focus on the next game. We need to have confidence because we have won. The last result for the team was good. We have to try our play our best."


Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, speaking to Sky Sports:
For me personally I am enjoying my football as you can see but for the lads it has been a great period and a great month. We have got that togetherness back in the team.
We are getting back to where we want to be after a below par start. It was not good enough and it was vitally important we turned it around. We wanted first to get into that middle cluster and go beyond that."

On Carlo Ancelotti: "He is a fantastic manager who has worked with great players and for me as a young player it is the best possible experience. I just have to be like a sponge and take it all in."

On his goals: "i am just happy to hit the back of the net. That is what I am there to do. The work doesn't stop for me now."

Cracking team performance second half. And for the first 25 minutes. We were lucky at times, certainly to be level at half time and then they might have had a pen late on (though it was less of a foul than the shove on DCL that wasn't given).

What amazed me is how much effort the players put in given the fixture list. Richarlison in particular was incredible. DCL too. Don't know what they are feeding these boys at Finch Farm like.

7 points off 4th. Champions League we're having a laugh

A few key signings and the right attitude, why not?!

Winning away feels good, we should do it more often. Proper shift by the lads today.

I agree with you on that point.

Something serious needs to be done about stuff like this. The new generation in their ma's boxrooms venting out thinking they can get away with anything behind a screen. Makes me sick.

Im not saying Keane isnt a bum dosser, but Andy Carroll was bang, bang up for it today, theres not many better at leading the line when hes in that mood for me.

He was fantastic, but when the lad you’re marking is setting records against you, you’ve had a bad day.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Thought moise Kean looked dangerous second half

Baby steps... At 19 he's probably one who could do with a season loan in the championship, but obviously that won't happen...dieing to see him score a goal and see what that does for his confidence

 

[Seathestars]

Good performance that, delighted with the 3 points.
We looked like we belong. Organised, fight, passion. They look like they believe in the Manager.
Boss Manager whose game Management today was top class.
