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

[mrb85]

Win today and it puts us 5 points behind Wolves in 5th who are apparently having an outstanding season. Shows how tight the table is with plenty of games left to play.

The sort of pre-match comment that guarantees defeat. If we don't lose than I'll start to believe that the new manager has something.

 

[blue to the bone]

With the amount of injuries we picked up in the last month for soft tissue injuries he had to rotate to be fair.
It's still good enough to get at least a point.

Can only see defeat with that team.

 

[Lob]

1 away win in the league this season. Lets make it 2 please blues.

 

[4737carlin]

Only spot on if we win

What if we draw?

For me he has to.look at the squad himself, he has to rotate and rest, if only to work out what to do in January

 

[mightymoyes]

I'm not. Receipt for disaster with Keane and Baines at the back. Sidibe letting always a lot of space behind him i think we are going to ship a lot of goals today!

It's Newcastle

 

[carolinablue232]

I do worry about Baines a bit here. Their wide players are rapid.

 

[Marius57]

Agree rotation is needed. But I wouldnt be messing with the centre backs. We need consistency there and keane always has a mistake in him.

Wont be an easy game, they have been on a decent run and are hard to break down.

 

[PDAWG]

We’ve put worse sides out in the past

We played a center back in midfield two weeks ago at Old Trafford

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Shelvey to be doing hollywood balls right onto big Carroll and Joelintons heeds - no Mina is a mistake imo

May Lord have mercy on our souls.

 

[blue to the bone]

He said in his pre match comments some players did not recover as much as they needed to.
Playing them and getting injuries would be a lot worse.
Having 2 games in 48 hours is ridiculous.

 

[MrGrumpy]

you got a stream grumps?

Nope

 

[Mikey O]

Before I looked at their home results this season (where they have been tight) I was thinking we'd get 3+ but I'll go for 2-1 to the blues.

 

[evertony]

They’ve lost once at home all season, we’ve won once away.

Keane v Carroll.

Absolutely no idea how this goes - just back BTTS

 

[Street end man]

I'm pleased to see Bainsy in the team. Dignes crosses in recent games look as though he's trying to cross a medicine ball in to the middle
