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

I trust Carlo has giving this plenty of thought and knows what he is doing.

I hope Gomes and Siggi know wtf they're doing too

Carlos - big balls - Ancelotti
Will we be contenders or pretenders...this seasons early frontrunners a la Sheffield U last season

 

[Kenshin]

Carlo called it a 'rest'...very diplomatic to me, it's the beginning of end for him, even if he starts v ManU

Well good.

Clearly been off form recently so even if Olsen isn't better , happy to see Carlo drop someone clearly not performing.

 

[Tel001]

I know. With the players out today, I don’t think our attack will be able to compensate for them two.

well Pickford not playing so maybe we can I have never seen or heard of Olsen ... hopefully he’s half decent

 

[ForeverBlue92]

If we can nick an early goal from somewhere it would help us massively as they'll need to atleast come out a bit and try get an equaliser

 

[degsy]

Just cos he's pony I think. He's on the bench, so not due to injuries.

The death treats may have tipped the balance for Ancelotti

 

[Wat Tyler]

Why has Pickford been dropped?

Any injury or genuinely dropped?

Rumours Pickford dropped cos of mental health issues - the media and the sh!te have been a disgrace

 

[Blues Harp]

Don't think so

 

[milto]

I won’t lie ... I’m worried.

But ... COYB

 

[Kenshin]

Big game today so a scrappy win is required, or a lewen hat trick .

Saints thrashing villa , wolves in form and the foxes getting results means it's important we keep adding points to the board to stay in amongst them and hopefully knock the kopites off the top again.

Genuinely don't care about any of that except for Gylfi starting AND being captain. He was beyond woeful against Southampton the petulant little tit. Gave the ball away and didn't put almost any effort in all match. Just cannot understand what any manager sees in him.

I just don't get it, apart from pointing he's as quiet as a mouse and is hardly a player who could rally the troops. The only reasoning behind it I can think of is Carlo isn't really arsed about the captains armband.

 

[riddick]

Let's not forget this is also Newcastle here. Pickford usually balls something up against them every single time because he hates them. I've no problem taking him out for this one.

 

[lungo]

Mad that line up

He tried to play Iwobi, Bernard on the wings for 50 times with no result. You want him to try it for the 51th time? Pickford is making the clown since 2 years. About time somebody else tries his luck. I dont know if it will work but at least there is a small chance that it will.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Carlo is picking his way through the problems. He’s not been here that long and it’s still not fully his squad. He’s obviously not keen on Iwobi or Bernard. Most fans would agree with his assessment on that.

You really think he will be back if Olsen has a very good game?

 

[Nymzee]

Game plan should be: pass to Niels, let him cross, DCL blammo header.

Rinse and repeat.
