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

[PhilM]

Why so many changes in the line-up? Why? Why?

I suspect it's primarily to do with fitness and fatigue: Digne wasn't fully fit; Mina's had a few knocks; Delph did not look match fit. We, like most clubs, need to rotate.

I believe the tactic for any club v Everton is just pressure the hell out of our players & we duly let it happen

Iceland touched the ball more in these 8 minutes than he has all season.

Based on the first 5 minutes... this is gonna be a long game.

Based on the last few minutes I'd guess Newcastle's thinking the same.

Played less than 48 hours ago.
Chance to assess the squad in meaningful action, especially with the window about to open.
